Schumacher's Original Batman Forever Idea Was Way Better
Joel Schumacher's original idea for the much-maligned Batman Forever would have made the film not just darker but much better. After the success of Tim Burton's Batman in 1989, its 1992 sequel Batman Returns was moderately less successful. This prompted Warner Bros. to select Joel Schumacher to helm their next Batman movie, eventually leading to the exit of Michael Keaton from the titular role. He was replaced with Val Kilmer, and Batman Forever was made.
