Batman Forever Directed by Tim Burton, Theatrical Trailer

My, hopefully, final trailer of Batman Forever. This is my vision of how Tim Burton would have made his third Batman film if he had been allowed to direct it instead of Joel Schumacher.
The story:
Sometime after the events of Batman Returns, Gotham City is plagued a string of robberies and murders committed by a criminal nicknamed the Riddler (Robin Williams). Unable catch the Riddler on his own, the District Attorney, Harvey Dent (Billy Dee Williams) calls upon the help of the vigilante known as Batman (Michael Keaton).
As the hunt for the Riddler continues, Batman seeks advice from his psychiatrist, Doctor Meridan Chase (Rene Russo), who offers her own insight, both to the Riddler's thinking, and Batman's. Meanwhile, the Riddler begins to communicate directly with Batman and Harvey Dent, offering them a mix of philosophical puzzles, taunts, and his own twisted justification for his crimes.
Things come to a head when the Riddler lures the police into a trap, where he and his henchman ambushes them. Batman intervenes, but Harvey Dent is badly scarred and hospitalized.
Batman pieces together the last clue he needs to find the Riddler and sets out to bring him down. But the Prince of Riddles has thought few more steps ahead of the Dark Knight, and someone may have just gone over the edge.
Cast:
Michael Keaton: Batman/Bruce Wayne
Robin Williams: The Riddler
Billy Dee Williams: Harvey Dent
Rene Russo: Doctor Chase Merdian
Pat Hingle: James Gordon
Michael Gough: Alfred Pennyworth
Marlon Wayans cameos as Dick Grayson
Music:

This is absolutely phenomenal. This really did blow me away. After seeing this trailer I actually wish this movie had gotten made.

[@JoggingOnTheMoon]

I've often wondered how Billy Dee would've been as Harvey had he actually gotten some script & screentime, & this trailer pretty much erased any doubt in my mind. And that Two-Face teaser at the end - great stuff! He would've nailed both parts. what a damn shame.

[@benjamincooper745]

JoggingOnTheMoon I agree. Harvey Dent actually had a lot more to do, and a much more prominent role in Sam Hamm's and Tim Burton's original "Batman" script. He was one of the most important supporting characters. But, sadly his role was severely reduced when the Producers and the Studio got their finger prints all over the script, and the film ended up being only a shadow of what that script was. I still Love "Batman 89" but it's definitely a compromised film.

[@JoggingOnTheMoon]

Benjamin Cooper my sentiments exactly. I still think it's the best Batman film so far, but it seems a lot of great stuff was cut that would've given the picture more meat. And the whole black & white (black man w/white scar tissue) dynamic for Two-Face would've been just brilliant.

People really overestimate how “dark and gritty” Burton’s Batman films were. He wouldn’t have the Riddler be an obnoxious Jim Carrey cartoon character, but I also doubt he’d be a serial killer. That said, this was a great trailer, and wonderfully edited. I’d totally love to see a Batman film like this. The tone you set is like a nice balance between the Burton and Nolan universes, my two favorite big screen depictions of Batman. Good stuff.

[@evanzaremba4722]

Actually, Robin Williams would be the same over the top/flamboyant Riddler as was in the final film. Besides, I like Jim Carrey as The Riddler.

[@superlanceypants180]

R.I.P Robin Williams

[@evanzaremba4722]

He is in comedy heaven with Chris Farley, Phil Hartman, Sam Kinison, John Candy, Redd Foxx, Gilda Radner, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, and Rodney Dangerfield. Robin Williams would make an even more hilarious Riddler, because Joel Schumacher and the Batchlers wanted Robin as The Riddler in Batman Forever before Jim Carrey was cast. And yeah, WB used him to trick Jack Nicholson into signing on as The Joker in Batman 89, and Robin couldn't get to play The Riddler in Batman Forever, because there was a salary dispute. He wanted too much money, and so as Michael Keaton.

[@angelnyambio5704]

This is a very good trailer, like the way Robin's Riddler is taunting Bruce and how Billy Dee's Two-Face approaches Bruce is pretty interesting, although I feel like Billy is very more pictured as "acting 'TWO-FACE' than actually becoming the alter-ego. Also, I enjoyed Jim's performance as Edward Nygma/The Riddler as his portrayal was so far, pretty good, though his Riddler wasn't great, and watching Robin's take on The Riddler in the fan script was very cool. Honestly, I think it would've been cooler if they did a tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum kinda thing with Jim Carrey playing Edward Nygma while Robin Williams is playing his alter-ego, The Riddler. Robin's Riddler teaming up with Billy Dee's Two-Face to take down Batman would be very cool, and not to mention, much better to watch than that terribly laughable trainwreck they gave us on "Batman Forever"(No offense to Jim, he was the highlight!). I really like Nicole Kidman's take on Dr. Chase Meridian, with her line saying, "You like strong women. I've done my homework. Or do I need skin-tight vinyl and a whip?", eager to persuade Batman(Keaton) who may find her attractive, just isn't at all interested in her, which sucks because they didn't give her much to do. The balcony scene along with their meeting and The Riddler(Carrey) kidnapping Dr. Chase Meridian(Kidman) in the actual "Batman Forever" movie was pretty good, just it could've been executed better. To me, the idea of having the psychologist fall for Batman while trying to figure out the villain's motive was a missed opportunity because that could've given Nicole's Dr. Chase Merdian good character development. Chris's Robin was pretty okay, just wasn't the right casting to be Robin, while Marlon would make a better choice as Robin, though the idea itself of casting Marlon to be Robin is I don't know. But overall, this trailer is very good🔥🔥😲👏

Shut the fuck up! Tim Burton's Batman 3 didn't exist. Batman Forever never started out as a Tim Burton project.

Futhermore, it was Joel who wanted Michael Keaton to return as Batman for the film before Val Kilmer was cast. And Kevin Smith had a copy of the Schumacher Cut of Batman Forever in a thumb drive. And he watched it. And it's longer.

Hey, in case you didn’t know, originally, Burton wanted the villains to be Catwoman and Scarecrow, but then WB forced in Riddler, Schumacher forced in Two-Face, and when Burton & Keaton left, they removed Catwoman & Scarecrow entirely.

Tim Burton even hated the title "Batman Forever" so he wouldn't have named his third one that. Tim Burton said in his book Burton on Burton, "I always hated those titles like Batman Forever. I thought, 'Batman Forever, that sounds like a tattoo somebody would get when their on drugs or something,' or something some kid would write in the yearbook to somebody else. I have high problems with some of those titles." No, while Tim Burton was still the director of the project his plans for the third one were much darker of Brad Dourif (Chucky in Child's Play) as the Scarecrow with the film set at Hallowe'en (continuing the holiday theme, remember Batman Returns was set at Christmas), along with a possible return of Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman as the second villain (who clearly survived the events of Batman Returns) plus possibly Chip Shreck seeking revenge for the death of his father. Michael Keaton had sort of a prequel idea and that might have fit in with the Scarecrow's fear gas causing Batman to have haunting flashbacks of his past. Burton didn't want Robin involved but Warner Bros did so in an attempt at a compromise Marlon Wayans was going to play just a mechanic named Robin but just called "the Kid" wearing a garage mechanics uniform with an R on it who helps Batman out with the Batmobile, which was originally planned by Burton and screenwriter Daniel Waters for Batman Returns but dropped with the idea that they'd add Marlon Wayans in the next one. But Warner Brothers studio executives were determined to go lighter and with a more traditional Dick Grayson Robin so they did not let Tim Burton get far enough into production to hire a script writer. The Riddler was not even considered by Tim Burton until Joel Schumacher and Batman Forever writers Lee and Janet Scott Batchler took over. It was Joel Schumacher who wanted Robin Williams to play the Riddler, and Lee and Janet Scott Batchler wrote the role with Robin Williams in mind. Robin Williams confirmed in November 19, 1993, that he had been talking to director Joel Schumacher about the project scheduled to film in September 1994, and he said that he thought playing the Riddler would be "nifty," but the script wasn't finished yet. Joel Schumacher was expecting the script to be in his hands on January 1, 1994. articles.orlandosentinel.com/1993-11-19/entertainment/9311190178_1_dirty-shame-riddler-batman-iii After reading the Batman Forever script Robin Williams turned down the role.

There was a rumor that at age 40, she was considered too old for Val Kilmer, who was 34. Joel Schumacher explained in June, 1994 that Rene Russo "may indeed leave the film, but not because of her age." He confirmed that "Before Batman Forever, she was committed to Outbreak, a film about a deadly virus starring Dustin Hoffman, and its shooting schedule had been delayed, presenting a possible conflict with Batman Forever's production."

It was always Joel Schumacher's baby, according to Ben Wan, The Man Who Knows Too Much About Batman on the podcast, Superhero Stuff You Should Know. According to their interview with Lee and Janet Scott Batchler, Tim Burton's only involvement with Batman Forever as producer was to hire his friend Joel Schumacher as director and helping out hiring the Batchlers to write the screenplay with Akiva Goldsman doing revisions.

[@evanzaremba4722]

@@knottyorchid1212 Yeah. Have you read the second issue of Batman 89: Echoes? It had the Burtonverse Riddler in it but was modelled after Martin Short. That means, they debunk the Burton Batman 3 rumors, and Robin Williams as The Riddler was an idea from Joel Schumacher before Jim Carrey was cast. And that's why there was no Burton's Batman 3 existing.

I can picture Billy Dee Williams’ Harvey Dent saying “This deal’s getting worse all the time” as a reference to “The Empire Strikes Back.”

[@MelBrooksFan78]

Which footage of Robin Williams did you use?

[@TheEntitysLair]

The footage of Robin Williams was taken from the films One Hour Photo and Insomnia.

[@theantone7476]

What movie did you use for Billy Dee in this epic fanmade trailer?

[@TheEntitysLair]

Most of the footage and sound bites of Billy Dee Williams were taken from Fear City (1984) and Mask of Death (1996.). I also use one shot from Batman (1988).

[@TheEntitysLair]

Most of the footage of Michael Keaton (out of costume) and Rene Russo was taken from One Good Cop (1991). I also used a clip of Russo from Ransom (1996).

[@timbostrom4926]

what about marlon wayans?

[@jimbodeek]

The story for this alternate version of the movie kinda reminds me of "The Dark Knight", except with Riddler taking the place of the Joker. In this version of "Batman Forever", the Riddler seems to be trying to prove a point while deconstructing Batman. Also, this trailer implies that Riddler has a hand in Harvey getting scarred and becoming Two-Face, much like how the Joker did in "The Dark Knight". This trailer implies that Robin Williams' Riddler is not one to be taken lightly. He's a murderer and a sociopath who seeks to bring Batman down to his level by pushing him to the breaking point.

[@TDKiller415]

If its any consolation, Joel Schumacher actually wanted to make Batman Forever similar to Batman Returns, just not as dark, but Warner Bros. wouldn't let him. That was why Michael Keaton refused to come back as Batman, and I think Tim Burton had very little say, he was just listed as producer as advertising material, like James Cameron for Terminator: Dark Fate.

[@evanzaremba4722]

Because Warner Bros wanted to market the film like they did with 1989's Batman. And there's a Schumacher cut of Batman Forever in the WB vaults. Would you like to trend on Twitter? Besides, I like Forever just the way it is.

Amazing job. This film's plot looks like it would be a mixture between Batman Forever, The Dark Knight, and The Batman (unreleased when this trailer was made.) It's tone would be a synthesis between the Burton and Nolan films.

[@agnwstostupos8737]

very nice edit,btw what is the soundtrack in the begining?

[@TheEntitysLair]

Agnwstos Tupos87 The first music clip is Flowers by Danny Elfman from the Batman (1989) OST.

[@tattooedandy93]

Billy Dee Williams would’ve been such a brilliant Two Face. I didn’t like Tommy Lee Jones as Two Face it was like he was trying to do what Jim Carrey did with his role of The Riddler. It was like they were trying to compete against each other. Robin Williams as The Riddler would’ve been a good choice after seeing One Hour Photo Williams showed he could give a creepy vibe. If only Tim Burton directed these batman films after Batman Returns they would’ve been a right good series of movies. Michael Keaton as Batman Jack Nicholson as Joker Michael Gough as Alfred Pat Hingle as Commissioner Gordon Danny DeVito as Penguin Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman Marlon Wayans as Robin Billy Dee Williams as Two Face Rene Russo as Dr Chase Meridian Robin Williams as The Riddler Patrick Stewart as Mr Freeze Nicole Kidman as Poison Ivy Christina Ricci as Batgirl Nicolas Cage as Scarecrow Madonna as Harley Quinn.

[@benmacanbhaird8934]

It’s said that this film was going to be called ‘Batman Continues’ when Tim Burton was still around. Some people really didn’ like (or hate) this title because it’s a bad title, but I like it. Tim Burton didn’t like the title ‘Batman Forever’. What should it be called other than ‘Batman Forever’ or ‘Batman Continues’. Me, I was thinking ‘Batman strikes again’.

[@evanzaremba4722]

Actually, Batman Continues was a madeup title. Batman Forever never started out as a Tim Burton project. It was always Joel Schumacher's baby. Tim's only involvement with Batman Forever as producer was to hire his friend Joel as director and helping out hiring the Batchlers to write the screenplay with Akiva Goldsman doing revisions.

0:23 what movie is the code, and what's the answer to that and the other ones. Also, I heard that Kidman was asked by Shumacher to play Poison Ivy (Not a joke)! Good job, either way.

[@TheEntitysLair]

The code was taken from Zodiac (2007). The code was based off a real life puzzle which has never been solved, but allegedly contains the identity of a real life serial killer. I remember the casting of Kidman as Poison Ivy. I even incorporated it into another video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paHLYqWVgLucprM

[@umbrellaunderdog]

This would of been epic really well made fan trailer. I would like to direct you to a fan edited version of Batman Forever that feels more like a Tim Burton film called "Batman Forever - Red Book Edition" it was Joel's original intent on how he wanted the movie to be but studio interferance got in the way as well as pressure to make it more family friendly but this edited version swaps out scenes with deleted scenes and removes most of all the cheesy scenes plus lines of dialog making Harvy/Two-Face more psychotic than silly and stupid. It's a much better film than what was released in theaters the neon colors were also toned down so it's almost like a film nior in certain scenes. Much darker. I highly recommend checking it out if you can't find it I'll upload it on to MEGA and send the url here.

This movie would've been a box office failure in the 90s because everyone would've whined about the Riddler's costume. Nolan's realism hadn't changed the genre yet. Great trailer though. This actually felt more like a sequel to Batman Returns than the actual Batman Forever did.
