Batman Forever - Deleted Scene: Secret of the Batcave (Remastered)

I was going through the deleted scenes from the Batman Forever DVD and decided to remaster/edit this specific scene.
Why ? Because in the DVD it was basically raw footage from a 35mm camera, and with the power of editing, I tried my best to make this scene come to life.
Worked 3 hours on it, so I hope you bat-fans enjoy :)
Color/Curve Correction,Sound Effects and Noise Reduction was added.

[@YousefAlMujeem]

Hey Guys, Its been a while since I’ve made a Batman Forever related video. I was thinking of editing the whole opening of the film based on the original screenplay. Starting from the Arkham scene, meeting Nygma for the first time, and then leading up to Bruce seeing the signal and suiting up and heading to the bank scene. Thumbs up if you’d like to see that. Thanks!

After seeing this I kinda feel bad for Joel Schumacher. He wanted to make a legit Batman movie, but the studio was like no we want you to make a toy commercial!😔

[@indyclonejr]

Well the studio made some exceptions for him in this movie, the next one after this was a HUGE toy commercial by the studio.

[@RamonAzzi]

Don't worry. His Cut will be release soon.

[@Names_buck]

Yeah Warner Bros suck ass

[@TheAzulmagia]

It was kind of a big backlash response to Batman Returns. That film was really raunchy and lewd, and parents were upset about how risque a comic book film was. So when it came time for Schumacher to take his turn at bat (pun unintended), the studio wanted a family friendly Batman movie that could sell toys, be advertised at McDonald's, and so on. So he never got to make the movie that he intended originally and just made the best with what was expected of him.

+Apple Lucas Sorry, I know I'm a little late to comment here. What you have to remember about Batman Forever is that Shumacher wanted to make a good Batman film, but the studio wanted him to make a toy commercial. So, Shumacher tried to do both. In response, the studio removed all the scenes that would have made this a decent Batman film and turned it into a bad Batman film.

[@I41535D]

+Truett Edgell I agree He even said it. Behind the scenes Warner bros. at that time wanted a family friendly film. Schumacher tried his best like you said to do a Batman film but also pleasing the negative parents audiences that didn't approve Burtons, Batman Returns

For me the scene Riddler saw made sense even without this scene. I just assumed that giant bat thing was what Bruce saw when he was a kid after he fell in that cave or if not actually saw, what he either sees/saw in his dreams or what he imagined to be in that cave after the fall (scared/schocked+dark+bats=over-imaginative mind creating scary images).

[@LewAngellus]

This is the best scene Batman Forever officially never had. Sad! 😔

[@ThePinkMan]

The reason this didn't make the cut was because the studio wanted their Batman movies to be as kid friendly as possible following the parental backlash caused by Batman Returns. Joel Schumacher, despite being an otherwise solid director, is a total corporate yes-man, so he just did whatever he was told. I do have to admit, the Man-Bat thing probably would've scared me as a kid... For about a minute, and then I'd get over it. Still too much for the studio retards who wanted to sell all those Batman Happy Meal mugs.

lesjconj Conj Because that last page says "Bruce insists on going to see a movie tonight. Martha and I have our hearts set on Zorro, so Bruce’s cartoons will have to wait until next week." It Tells you two things one If Bruce had not insisted on going to the movie's his parents would still be alive. Causing him to feel responsible. He says and I quote " All my fault". Second that his parents wanted to see Zorro. Wich became his inspiration for donning a costume and fighting crime. Falling down the hole and seeing the bat just gave him the idea for the bat persona.

[@gorrow1990]

Can't believe this scene ended up on the cutting room floor. This would have been the best scene in the film, and it's not in the final cut.

fienga paul Val Kilmer wasn't even a bad Batman, in many cases he was a perfect choice for the character, he can play those dark roles. The original script and ideas were suppose to be dark and very good, Batman Forever was intended to be better than Batman Returns. However their sponsors wanted the next Batan film to be family friendly so they can sell their merchandises and please the parents of sensitive children. It was a decision Joel Schmauker actually regrets as he wanted the movie to be darker.

[@dancastro6873]

​@@CynderSpirit That is why we the fans deserve and are petioning to get Schumacher's Cut aka The Red Book edition released on Blu Ray and 4K. I am one of these fans. My dad isn't into these kind of movies but when I told him that this film was to be darker and some of the scenes he was stunned and said "Are you kidding me? A comic book movie and comic book movies aren't kid friendly now? and I told him that it's true so after we both watched Batman 1989, Batman Returns, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and Batman vs Superman Dawn Of Justice The Ultimate Edition he not only liked these movies but he was amazed and said "You know. I am so sorry I doubted you. I may not be into these movies but you're right about these movies not being kid friendly."

Love it. Such a great and epic scene, why it was cut maybe we'll never know.

As a child yes he did fall in that cave and saw a bat but due to his young age, emotional state of mind at the time and fear he saw this winged creature as a gigantic monster, which embedded him his mind exactly what he would become...Batman.

They kept a clip of this scene in the trailer. Imagine you're a HUGE Batman fan, you see THIS on the big screen in the Coming Attractions (and/or Seal's "Kiss From a Rose" music video), you suspect it's either Man-Bat or the Bat that inspired Bruce to be Batman, but either way your eyes widen. So eventually, you're ecstatic and go see it. There's a scene where Bruce explains the Giant Bat to Chase, you see a shot of it flying closer to the camera and you go, "Oh, okay, so it's the Inspiration Bat", you're EAGERLY waiting for this scene to come on...then when Batman defeats the Riddler, you see Nygma shrieking at the top of his lungs to...what is obviously the same scene of the Giant Bat approaching. You still hope it shows at the end of the movie. Not even a strand of hair. Finally, the movie ends. You walk out, heavily disappointed and heartbroken that this Giant Bat rarely appears. 10 years go by, and you get the DVD. You find this in the deleted scenes. The Bat is impressive for its time, but it isn't really that impactful. Finally, you watch THIS on KZbin. THERE'S that impacting moment that was missing all those years ago.

Even though this scene is rather frightful, I do understand it. Seeing that giant bat helped Bruce realize that Batman was a part of him. That he was more than just a guy in a costume doing good deeds. He was a crime fighter, a hero and a mystery all in one. Also, like a bat… he is terrifying to some and yet fascinating to others.

[@cainbutler6291]

Jack/The Joker brought some horrible fear and trauma to the surface for Bruce when he killed his parents in the first film...then to top it all off, he has to live with the guilt that even though he avenged his parents death, he also has to live the rest of his life knowing “he took a life.” Very symbolic indeed considering the bat cave and the dark surroundings turned him insane leading to his duality as “Batman”. Joker always knew how to push the right buttons...I’d lose my sanity too. In his mind, the only way he could find any shred of peace within himself now is to embrace the new “dark gritty traumatic” side of his personality that Joker planted in him, and that’s embracing being Batman. Chase understood this...Vale and Selina did not.

He meditates and meditates while his in there for over 10 years when his fears finally manifest into a giant bat. He kills the giant bat with a sword. I wished the Nolan take showed Bane's vision. This reminded me of that but kinda the opposite.

[@TMSokoya]

Nicely spotted :)

[@kobi7955]

I liked how the Arkham games handled this aspect of Bane's origins, specifically in Arkham Origins where he proclaims that once he kills the Batman he will finally find peace.

[@pelado9293]

This scene Is from The Dark Knight Returns actually

[@Ted_Curtis]

"Martha and I have our hearts set on Zorro, so Bruce's cartoon will have to wait until next week."

[@evangriner411]

This reminds me a lot of the cave scene from Empire Strikes Back.

[@Jeannekeleri]

Probably that' s exactly what Riddler saw, after he fell down in the final fight. This Inner Demon of Batman (Giant Bat) sent him to Asylym and drove him crazy more than ever!!!

[@justingreenberg1451]

They should have kept this scene in the movie

[@OakViewFilms]

Seriously, had these deleted scenes been in the final cut, I guarantee the reception to this film would have been a lot higher. I wanna know who the clueless higher-ups at WB were that trimmed these scenes out. Schumacher has talked about for years of releasing a directors cut of Batman Forever, and if we can get people to speak out about Zack Snyder's cut of Justice League, then surely we can do the same for Schumacher's cut of Batman Forever.

[@Benratbag1997]

They really should’ve kept this scene in the movie to be honest with ya. It looks glorifying and it gives more depth through on why Bruce Wayne became Batman in the first place 🖤 At least the Giant Bat can still seen in the flashback scene in the finished film, also it looks very much like Man-Bat to me. I do hope Warner Bros. does release the director’s cut version of ‘Batman Forever’ someday so we can finally see what Joel Schumacher’s intended dark version was for the film. I read he really wanted to make a darker Batman film, but was forced by Warner Bros. to make this and ‘Batman & Robin’ too cheesy, family friendly and look like toy adverts even the 60s Batman show all for stupid merchandising reasons, then he would go on to receive unfair criticism by fans over them for years until his death. x As Warner Bros. has released the Snyder Cut of ‘Justice League’ they should release the Schumacher Cut of ‘Batman Forever’ too #ReleaseTheSchumacherCut R.I.P. Joel Schumacher 💚

Truly truly amazing! :) Thank you!

[@lrb662003]

I really like the sound of your idea, it sounds like it would be an interesting spin on Batman.

[@Adamdow95]

Batman Forever was a great film, but there was a couple of deleted scenes that should've been kept in like this one and Two-Face's escape from Arkham intro.

[@GetToDaChoppa-k5r]

I honestly think, this scene along with the dark two-face escape from Arkham was deliberately cut because of fear that Warner Bros. would have had a hissy fit over how dark it is. Basically in case all the whiny parents gave it shit like they did with Batman returns.

[@sammcguinness4344]

1 word describes this scene beastiality

[@andylindsey]

This is very Schumacher.. and I think it's great.

[@indyclonejr]

Every time I watch the movie I pause it at the right moment to watch this deleted scene because it shouldn't have been cut out. It shows Bruce is running away from his fear his whole life & is now embracing his fear right there, choosing to be Batman Forever. You know the meaning for the title of the movie

[@MatSKULLZ]

Bruce Wayne emerges from the cave entrance Alfred: “Master Bruce?” Bruce: “I’m Batman” 🤪 Alfred: “Oh good it worked. How do you feel sir?” Bruce: “I’m Batman” 🤪 Alfred: “uh ... sir?” Bruce: “I’m Batman” 🤪 Alfred: “*sigh* ok back in ze hole” Alfred proceeds to push Bruce back into the cave, all the while Bruce flailing and wailing “I’m Batman” 🤪 until Alfred has successfully pushed him back into the cave Alfred: (shouting to Bruce) “And don’t come back out unless you’re hundred percent in the head. Now (to himself as he pulls out a paper) I wonder if Buckingham Palace is still accepting resumes?”

[@KingdomHeartsBrawler]

Imagine Michael Keaton doing this scene as part of Tim Burton's third film... like this could've been one of Scarecrow's fear gas nightmare illusions.

[@kobi7955]

Scarecrow wasn't meant to be in Batman 3 as far as i know, the villains were still meant to be Riddler and Two-Face played by Robin Williams and Billy Dee Williams respectively.

[@KingdomHeartsBrawler]

@@kobi7955 Rumors are rumors, but I remember hearing a rumor that Scarecrow was going to be in it as well and that he was going to be played by Brad Dourif. Could be wrong, but it definitely would've been cool.

[@t_hetty1758]

@@KingdomHeartsBrawlerscarecrow being played by Chucky/Grima would’ve been such. A good choice.

[@LRobertoG]

Now that i see this is like Chris Nolan kind of paid homage to this on Batman Begins when Batman made Dr Crane take that fear gas turning Batman into some big monster in Cranes mind.

[@Angyali]

And in the minds of the criminals loose after he revealed himself to Rachel.

[@skyslasher2297]

Honestly the scene serves as the perfect translation for this Bruce going from brutal vigilante to the hero Gotham deserves I wish this was kept

[@amazingonion]

Yes. This right here. This is batman.

[@jalenjohnson1662]

You did a really good job with this. The music, and sound effects for the Bat are awesome.

[@pjackson116]

Always cutting the best scenes!

[@marcellocaminhafilho]

What a beautiful scene

[@MrBlueSkyof1607]

Yeah...too bad this was left on the cutting room floor.

[@danlora5599]

I think they thought the flashback scene with Chase was enough. It wasn’t. That’s likely why it got cut but this scene while someone likely thought as redundant was not.

[@navecamnedia]

honestly, this is an incredible scene

[@anthonyrahim8018]

Wow 17 years and I find out there's deleted scenes? Thank u u tube and person who uploaded this...great scene, should have been in Final cut

[@thischannelisretiringforaw9620]

this scene is good, they should not have deleted it

[@slubanski1]

Great job! I saw the man-bat part in "The Batman Complex" trailer and had to know where it came from. The only minor issue is the footsteps in the gravel during the wide shot sounded kinda hokey. I think maybe it's because it sounds too close. Other than that, comparing this with the original clip, I think you could say "mission accomplished" on making the scene come to life.

[@nickmaster512]

i can see why this was cut the bat is terrifying and would of gave alot of kids nightmares but still some excellent puppetry i give it five gold stars :3

[@whovianhistorybuff]

0:33 Alfred channelling his inner yoda "that place strong in the dark side it is in you must go" what's in there " only what you take with you"

[@bigwhopper6501]

There is a cut of this film deep in wb vaults that is something we will never see😢

[@daltonletta2760]

this was my favorite deleted scene he finally goes face to face with the one who gave him his gift now they are one and some of you guys think its manbat but in the game arkham origins alfred calls him king bat

[@Lightwolf9518]

This scene is actually pretty decent and I feel like it should've been included in the movie, but then again, this would've given kids some nightmares

[@bulbasaurbrutal5137]

Oof, so good. Watched that movie constantly as a child and I wondered what in the fuck that giant monster was. Well, I guess there really was a giant monster!!!

[@Rhomega]

"What's in there?" Only what you take with you.

[@perlamunoz2707]

This is why Batman is forever.

[@Vaporvice84]

Sorry guys, Kilmer's performance comes off as wooden to me. Not quite "Keanu Reves wooden", thankfully, but just not up to par. Don't get me wrong, had WB not interfered and not listened to all the parents that complained about violence in "kids" movies and videogames during the 90's, I know a director of Joel Schumaker's caliber ("Falling Down", anyone?) as well as an actor of Kilmer's caliber (where do I begin? lol), Kilmer could've given us the best Batman EVER, and Joel could've given us a damn fine sequel to the first 2 (don't forget, Joel had full intentions of continuing the Burton universe, as well as bring back Pfieffer as Catwoman, it was WB who decided to completely revamp the style and tone of the series).

[@batfan038]

He wanted to do Year One as well but this wasn't bad in opinion its my favorite in the Burton/Schumacher films.

[@MGSBigBoss77]

Continued; ergo the giant Bat was the symbol that also inspired Wayne to become Batman and Bruce as a man raises his arms and shows that they are one more or less. Bruce becomes Batman in that moment and uses the fear of the Bat and darkness as a tool against his enemies. The scene deleted was darker but also was important in fleshing out Batman's psyche and in the cave he found his Father's diary, which he lost as a boy when he fell into the cave originally!
