8 Changes That Would Have Completely Fixed Batman Forever

I was twelve years old when Batman Forever came out in theaters. This
was in the dark ages before everybody had the Internet, so I didn’t
even know this movie was being made until I saw the poster, and I was
ridiculously excited about it. Batman Returns was one of my favorite
movies as a kid, and I made my parents buy me almost everything that
had Batman’s name on it back then—toys, video games, comics, clothes,
if it was related to Batman, I probably had it and I watched Batman:
The Animated Series religiously.

When I actually saw the movie, I loved it. Again, I was twelve, what
did I know at the time? I thought it was great that we finally got to
see Robin on the big screen and I thought Jim Carrey was totally
entertaining as the Riddler. But as I got older, I started to realize
that although I still loved Batman and Batman Returns, Batman Forever
was just really bad.

Unfortunately, it didn’t have to be. The story goes that there was a
huge backlash to Batman Returns, which was perceived to be a movie for
children and parents complained about how it was too scary. McDonald’s
pulled their endorsement for the movie and Warner Bros ordered
director Tim Burton to lighten up the third movie. He refused, so they
replaced him with Joel Schumacher.

And what we got was…well, you’ve all seen it (if you haven’t count
yourself lucky). But if I had access to a time machine, there are ways
it could be fixed.
