Batman Forever Unseen 1 - the deleted scenes (with music and sfx)

Here are the deleted scenes from Batman Forever with music and sfx added (the ones on the DVD and Blu-Ray were just the raw footage). Hope you enjoy.
These were all taken from a fan edit of the film called the Virtual Workprint (look it up, it's not hard to find) which reintegrated all the deleted scenes seemlessly and reorganised the film to follow the production script.

[@crazyrabbits]

5:12 -- I definitely wish they'd kept the Kenneth Frequency scene in; Val's expressions are priceless. The way Bruce almost has this dismissive, smirking expression when Kenneth talks about "every nutcase" coming to Gotham with a grudge to settle against Batman, only to start staring intently when the impact of the anchor's words seep in and Bruce realizes how bad the escalation has become, is quite a powerful scene.

[@1995Batman]

Yeah, it's a good scene. I know the Kenneth Frequency actor is a bit over the top but it's a good showcase for Val.

[@propagatrix]

@@1995BatmanThat actor’s my husband, Merle Kessler. :)

This was my personal favourite version of Alfred, a proper British gentleman, who had the combined military background of a field-agent & field-medic, yet possessed the kind demeanor of a Saint. Rest in Peace dear Sir Michael Gough. Thank you for doing it right.

[@1995Batman]

Yep, I like Caine, Irons and Pertwee but there's something special about Gough' s stiff upper lipped classic butler. I love that (especially in Forever and B&R) he's there as a sounding board for Bruce and Dick. Guiding them through their careers as vigilantes.

[@dmsturgeon8762]

Michael Gough was a brilliant actor, powerful and heartfelt,without chewing up the scenery, he carried himself with nobility and sincerity in every scene, in every movie that I have ever seen him in. As alfred, he truly demonstrated a quiet, stalwart confident father figure, who was never afraid to call bruce out on his b.s.,with just the right amount of snarkiness. Of course this doesn't detract from other great actors that have portrayed alfred; such as sean pertwee(gotham), epfhram zimbalist(batman animated series,justice league), and michael caine (batman begins,dark knight, dark knight rises) they each carried the character very well, which goes to show how great the character really is, however, michael gough seemed to bring a level of humanity that showed a man who struggled and in a way failed to bring peace and hope to Bruce's torn soul.

[@muigokublack6487]

It's different, in this universe with Joker dead his parents are avenged and his whole reason for becoming Batman but seeing as more costumed villains are coming because of him it's a valid question if he's doing more harm than good at this point.

This would have actually backfired in Batman: Dark Knight ( scrapped sequel ). Clooney's campy Batman would have lost the fear of criminals as well as the element of surprise. However, a series of murders commited by Man-Bat would have him re-established as the mysterious and violent vigilante he once was. The movie would return the franchise to it's dark roots and there were even thoughts about a later sequel with Clayface as the main villain. The idea for Dark Knight came up after Batman Unchained/Triumphant got scrapped.

[@SandmanGotBeer]

I've never cared what anyone said. I always loved Batman Forever. I'll admit it's not a perfect movie and I love it for personal reasons. It was the first Batman movie I saw in a theater back in 1995. I loved the look and atmosphere: the neon lights (I love neon), the tone, the sets, the vehicles, the style, the music. I thought Val Kilmer as Bruce Wayne was incredibly underrated. His Batman was fine...not outstanding, but not terrible at all. Jim Carrey as Riddler....well in 1995 there was Noone bigger than Jim Carrey and he was awesome (I'll concede that Robin Williams in a Tim Burton film would have been fascinating as well). Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face? Meh..... Nicole Kidman? Well, she was hot and that's all she needed to do. I'm dying for a Shumacher cut with the darker tone that this film clearly flirted with but couldn't commit to. I'm glad that 28 years later, we've had enough iterations of Batman so that the fanbase have a variety of options to choose as "THEIR" Batman and the hate has died down for other versions. Each iteration is largely viewed nowadays as having its place in history and no one is forced to like it, unlike back in the day when we had to take what we were given (we were lucky just to have one comic book movie every few years). Now there's more than enough to go around and enough for everyone to find and love their version. We who have been here since the beginning of comic book movies truly know how far we've come and that we really have reached the promised land that we never thought would be possible.

Only part I really didnt like was the very end where Bruce is smiling and says "Im Batman Alfred...Im Batman". Just so out of character and very....Schumaker-y. With better writing and directing, that entire scene couldve been great. Batman Forever had alot of good ideas, but very poor execution. Batman and Robin was all bad ideas and even worse execution. Just as a final note....Uma Thurman, Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones all could have been great in their respective roles too....but none of them were written like their actual characters. Two Face was basically just the Joker flipping a coin and pretending to be Two Face. Can you imagine TLJ playing a version of Two Face like Batman: The Animated Series Two Face? I could, and it would be great. Jim Carrey as Riddler was just...well, Jim Carrey dressed up as the Riddler. He had the acting chops to play a slightly more seriously and less silly version of the character that would have worked much better. Uma obviously had much more talent than they role demanded.

Watch the Virtual Workprint fan edit. It has all these scenes added seamlessly.

[@Facade953]

Criminals From All Over The World: BATMAN! GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE AND FACE US!!! Batfleck: Tell me, do you bleed? Criminals: Ehm...when did he get so tall and bulky and where are his rubber nipples? Batfleck: You...WILL!!!

[@jaminallen3119]

Wow! Those scenes make the movie quite different. Much more if how modern superhero Batman's are done. Yet this was twenty plus years sooner! They are finished scenes too, well lit and cut so seems that he wanted them in there. Great, thanks for posting!! 👌🖖

[@1995Batman]

Yeah I think Joel wanted these put back in. He pushed for a director's cut when the Batman Anthology dvd set came out but WB said no. They really do subtly change the tone of the film. Not drastically but they make it feel a bit more substantial.

[@pavelb7036]

they deleted the most important part of the story

[@1995Batman]

Yup

[@derekstewart777]

Excellent job! This is BADASS!

[@thefilmwhisperer1105]

As campy as this film was, it at least tried to give Batman a real "arc", so to speak. #ReleaseTheSchumacherCut I wonder if cutting these scenes made Schumacher say "Okay, let's just make a straight-up cartoon for the sequel! No one cares about giving a movie deep meaning and character arcs!"

[@1995Batman]

I think you're right. That was definitely his mind set for B&R. "Fine, you want a cartoon, I'll give you a cartoon."

[@Th_Uslss_Indvdl]

Why the scene between him and Alfred discussing who he is was cut I’ll never understand.

[@mainstreetsaint36]

Too deep for studio execs. These are the same people that watched 'Man of Steel' and asked how Superman was going to get back home to Krypton?

[@1995Batman]

@mainstreetsaint36 I forgot about that

[@MrMisanthrope84]

There was a good movie here. A few cuts of the campy crap and putting some of these scenes back in, it could have all been a quality movie, closer to the comic book than anything seen before. I feel it was all wrecked in the edit but they had shot a decent movie.

[@1995Batman]

There's some fan edits that you might like out there. The Red Book edition or the Burton cut. Both of those cut the campy stuff and add these deleted bits back in.

5:30 What's the frequency, Kenneth Frequency?

[@freddymentos8378]

@ 6:44 "''I have never been in love before Alfred" - Except for Vicky Vale and Selena Kyle.. This scene needed to be cut. I actually like some of the other scenes, though.

[@1995Batman]

I always saw Forever as a separate continuity to the Keaton films.

[@ESTYMANAGRANIATV]

That movie is such a waste potential. .

[@NR-rv8rz]

lollll a rotating ceiling fan in a padded cell :)

[@dredd1981]

Why oh why didn't they leave in the scene with the giant bat, it would have added so much more depth to the movie!

[@ThomasFerrugia]

These additional scenes show what this movie should have been. With a director capable of showing some restraint, less campy performances by the supporting cast and a plot that didn't involve a nonsensical mind-reading device, it would have been a really interesting take on Batman.

[@Reborn8303]

4:43 Tucker Carlson lol

[@MrFrostien]

Two Face escape scene was the introduction and it looked like a horror movie scene, thats pretty much why they left it out of the final cut. In a way you can understand it they dont fit in the movie apart for devolpment but the visuals make the movie feel weird like a comedy then an action a drama and a horror movie. The hair dressing place scene had SCHUMACHER written all over it, also it looked like the 60s tv show.

[@kyiwintun4253]

I just love the THEME of BATMAN FOREVER!!!

[@1995Batman]

Music theme or script theme?

[@kyiwintun4253]

@@1995Batman The music that played in intro and the ending. I thought it was another fantastic score from John William's Superman.

[@talon3684]

I wouldn't have mind Two-Face surviving. I wouldn't want to see him escape Arkham after just being caught but I prefer it for Batman's villains in film to be imprisoned or institutionalized in Arkham Asylum. I get the real world connotation of killing them off for storyline but I'd rather not if it doesn't serve the story better. It's better to see how great of a hero Batman can be when he can deliver justice and punish a villain with a sentence without their death having to be in the mix. When the hero has that mindset and thinks past those hurdles, it's often more impressive and serves their character traits well.

[@1995Batman]

Yeah, Two Face dying is a bit awkward given the lecture Bruce gives Dick earlier in the movie about not killing him

[@talon3684]

@@1995Batman Good point 💯

[@canontheory]

Batman & Robin would have been much better if Val Kilmer returned instead of George Clooney

[@1995Batman]

100% agree. I feel Kilmer tried hard to play all his scenes seriously and with some gravity. Clooney didn't do that at all.

[@pacandpal3]

I think if they had made that final 90s batman movie in 99 batman unchained and brought back val . The franchise would be much more satisfying . Or at least not made the sudden decision to replace him despite the issues during this film we couldve had the fourth movie we deserved and not some joke of a batman .

[@1995Batman]

I would have loved to have Val in Batman & Robin. I'm not saying he would have saved it but I think he would have brought more gravitas to the Bruce Wayne part. Might have balanced out the goofy parts a little.

[@pacandpal3]

@1995Batman most definitely. Man I hope we get the directors cut of batman forever someday .
