BATMAN FOREVER: 30th ANNIVERSARY EDITION - "It's a trap!"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 чер 2024
- Hello - and thank you for joining me to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the smash hit superhero movie Batman Forever - which exploded into movie theatres in 1995!
My goal with this fanedit was to present a cut of Forever that aligns more with director Joel Schumacher’s intended vision. By reinserting deleted scenes and alternate takes - as well as drastically restructuring the film to more accurately follow the shooting script by Akiva Goldsman - I believe that Forever can shine as a serious and darkly fascinating character study of the Caped Crusader - while still retaining the larger-than-life, ‘comic-book’ fun throughout, of course!
This fanedit uses the earlier Blu-ray transfer as - despite the bump in fidelity - the newer transfer that came bundled with the 4K release features some unsatisfactory colour timing/grading changes in my opinion. The deleted scenes/workprint footage were sourced from the same release, while alternate takes were primarily sourced from trailers & bonus material. The score uses excerpts from Eliot Goldenthal’s work on Alien³, Interview With the Vampire & Demolition Man, alongside the rare recording sessions for both Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. As well as Goldenthal’s score, an iconic theme from Danny Elfman’s work on Batman (1989) also makes an appearance.
For a more detailed breakdown of what’s new and different in this edit, please check out the changelog!
Batman Forever: 30th Anniversary Edition was cut, edited and assembled in Adobe Premiere Pro 2020, before being colour graded & visually overhauled with Dehancer in DaVinci Resolve. The ‘35mm’ version uses 35mm transfers of Batman Forever trailers as a visual reference. The ‘35mm’ version aims to replicate the visual flavour and aesthetic of these vintage film trailers in both colour choice and depth. Topaz Video Enhance AI has been used to upscale the aforementioned deleted scenes, while Eleven Labs voice AI cloning was used - in combination with real human voice acting - to fill in for missing dialogue takes.
I am not the first to put together a Batman Forever fanedit - and I certainly won’t be the last. So with that said, I must pay respect to the works that came before mine:
• Batman Forever: Red Book Edition by Scaperat
• Batman Forever: The Virtual Workprint by Josh Jensen
• Batman Forever: Restored by Lucas Valcanti (luc4valcanti)
I would also like to thank luc4valcanti, Onyx_Tw, MinddKidzag, CutSchumacher, Neil Rickatson of 1995 Batman.com and burtonsgotham for their assistance on this project! This fanedit simply would not be possible without their support and contributions.
Until the fabled ‘Schumacher Cut’ is in our hands, I hope that this fanedit will bring joy to Batman fans around the world. #ReleaseTheSchumacherCut!
Courage now… truth always… BATMAN FOREVER!
Yours,

LOL all of Tully’s dialogue removed. Sorry Tully
I'll Be Turning 30 On February 26th 2025
I LOVE THIS.
I do miss that shot of Batman looking up at the final thug who comes at him - maybe you got rid of it because it was too sudden - or Kilmer's lips perhaps.
@@GrandJediMaster7860 I dropped it because Batman looks absolutely shocked and scared - something he shouldn't be looking like 😂
@@jordanjabroni I thought it was Kilmer just pouting - and then I watched the scene again (as it originally was) - I guess you're right about that shot!
First, this prjoect is awesome!
The re-edit of this scene is really on point but you should remove the cartoonish sound of the electric discharge that ties up the thug, to keep building a more serious tone for the sequence
@@jxodbfo68 I've shortened some of the thug gibberish noises after they're electrified, but the cartoon noises belong in Forever to offset the dark visuals. I daren't remove them completely!
@@jordanjabroni I understand your point of view. That's fair.
@@jxodbfo68 The way I see it, when all of the pieces are in place, the movie is like a messed up Saturday morning cartoon. It's got this cartoonish pop aesthetic, but underneath it's dark and grisly.
Awesome 😎👍
I second removing the cartoonsih soundeffects and goon noises. I would really like to hear Danny Elfman's theme and music instead of Goldsmith's. I think the first ever trailer for this film used Elfman's theme and that was pretty epic
I don’t think having Danny Elfman’s music would be a good idea (ik this may sound biased as I’m a Burton Batman purist) but Forever and Batman and Robin should be kept in their own canon as they are effectively a reboot. One more thing, Elliot Goldenthal did the score not Jerry Goldsmith. Jerry would’ve done a much better job :)
@@Joshuadmathews Hi! Thanks for your comment. While I've trimmed or muted some of the ad libs and noises for effect, the fact is that those villain sounds and the cartoon effects are intricately woven throughout Forever's DNA. They give the movie that dark, twisted version of a Saturday morning cartoon vibe and I wouldn't seek to change that. Also, Goldenthal's score absolutely slaps so I'm not taking that out. I added Elfman's finale before the end credits, which you can see on my channel, but then replaced the end credits music with a long suite by Goldenthal. I love his score so much.
@@demonblooddrinker7671 I adore Eliot Goldenthal's score for this movie!
PL3as3 r3l3as3 this on Blu Ray, 4K and DVD WB
0:26 ??? Down?
The line you reinserted is barely audible
I'm not hearing any volume issues with this line myself!
The "going" word gets kinda lost in the high notes of the soundtrack I believe, while the "down" word is easier to hear 🤔
@@MLK4044 It's not too clear in the trailer I cribbed it from, but I did boost the volume and EQ it to the best of my abilities.
I heard going down fine.
