McDonald's had a big promotion deal with Batman Forever. Remember the glass handled transparent mugs? I still have the Batman and Two-Face ones. Sturdy 20 years later.
I think that's the idea though. I enjoy these movies because I was a kid when they came out. I didn't care about plot or acting. I just enjoyed seeing Batman and Robin. If I had been an adult when these came out I definitely would have criticized them the same way they are. But as a kid I didnt take them that serious.
I liked it alot more as a kid but even now it still has its charm. Batman and robin is the one i cant tolerate watching, the mr freeze puns are the one thing i do like
I don't know it for fact, but being in my 20s when the Schumacher ones came out, the campy colors and all didn't bother me or my friends of the same age, and it didn't seem to bother little kids. But I suspect the ones who really hated it were teenagers at the time who felt like it was some step backward from the more mature Phantasm movie and BTAS of the previous few years, and who believed bashing the Adam West TV show was an essential rite of passage.
@@75aces97 I'd be 11 when this came out, I didn't see it in theaters back then. I do recall them re-relasing the Seal song for it, which the kids now think was made for the film. But you are correct after BTAS the only way forward was Nolan or the Batman stuff. Plus Riddler and Two Face were so much better in BTAS and I would have rather have had that over Carey, at his peak, being Carey does Frank Groschen. All they had to do was slow the films down and just do Two Face from the animated series or Riddler as the actual intellectual threat to Batman. But hey Nicole Kidman and Drew Barrymore probably at their peaks of hotness in this film.
if you like these check out a a channel you might like. Oliver Harper he does the same thing with movies and has me giggling to myself while listening to them on the way to work. Check out Skyfall commentary first :) Let me know what you think.
Kev is so right-on. Batman refers to him as Two Face when he's talking about him, but he calls him Harvey when he's talking to him, it adds a little personal touch because they have history. Batman usually never refers to his villains by their stage names when he's talking directly to them, except for those who lack a birth name like Joker and Bane.
@Chris Seymouryeah but Bruce and Jack didn't know each other beforehand. The original comment is talking about the history the characters have, Jack and Bruce, don't have any.
I used to think that but I think he’s referring to the guy he’s telling the story about,as an audience we know they’re the same though. I think he’s saying “let me tell you about this guy I know...Jack” as in the guy he’s referring to. I could be wrong
That chase meridian sex scene with her bush shaved like a bat symbol and batman leaving the cowl and cape on is a fantasy we've all imagined, let's admit it.
As a big fan of Kevin Smith, Batman, AND Mystery Science Theater 3000...this was just incredible! Thank you both so much for doing this, guys! Definitely going back to watch the first two commentaries soon. This was great.
Batman Forever was awesome for its time. I remember seeing it in theaters for this kids birthday party and everyone was going apeshit during the opening scene.
One thing that I hadn't noticed before was how Bruce looked at that malysian doll, which was half black half white, kinda' like Two-Face. That's was actually pretty cool moment and you could see the regret in his eyes. Something I didn't expect in this film.
+Emperor Psycho what dicks studios executives were. and i can say the same thing to the parents who bitched about batman returns being too dark and violent. did they even see the first movie? that movie wasn't all rainbows and unicorns either
+Jason Rameriz This movie was deliberately trying to bring the corny 60s Adam West Batman into a big budget action movie. It did not work. Ho boy did it not work.
20:16 “Yeah he did-he [Joel Schumacher] was not a comic book guy.” That’s actually such a misconception, Joel Schumacher actually WAS a huge Batman fan, more than Tim Burton, and he came on the project with the intent of carrying on the dark, gothic, Deco-Noire style of Tim Burton’s first two films. However Warner Bros. was still unwinding from the backlash of Batman Returns and made Schumacher make the film lighter and friendlier. Schumacher had also wanted to make a Batman: Year One film, but was shelved after the reception of Batman & Robin.
Alrighty! The scene where Tommy Lee Jones flipping his coin at Wayne manor 3 times and not getting it right is not to get the outcome he wants for Bruce but for Alfred, Chase and Bruce. 3 people, 3 flips. It’s not in character for two face to flip multiple times for one person🤷🏻♂️
That’s the funny thing with the Schumacher/burton films. They never got the villains right AT all, aside from the joker which was accurate for the time but penguin, Catwoman, two face, riddler, bane, Mr freeze and poison ivy were either caricatures or just flat out not at all source material correct.
Yeah everybody talk shit I saw the movie when I was a kid in theaters and I loved it. And I still love her to this day when I’m 30 I think it was a Unique. Val Kilmer was a decent Batman, riddler was a little to joker. And it beat the hell out of Batman and robin.
The thing that gets me is at the time I thought all of those early Batman movies were the same universe. Different directors and different actors in the leads ,but same universe. Fast forward to today,the Flash movie changes that.
When they came out they WERE the same universe. Nobody was thinking about multiverse stuff. It's the same as Sean Connery in Dr. No and Roger Moore in Moonraker being the "same" James Bond..
Kevin's beast point is Robin not being a kid, him being a full grown man just kills everything that would give it pathos, just makes it kind of awkward.
Also for those you are bashing Kevin Smith you obviously dont know the love he has for batman and these movies. He makes very funny and true observations like anyone would watching a movie they enjoy.
Fun fact: Val Kilmer did not get along well with Joel Schumacher (for reasons more to do with the studio and producers), but it was Jim Carry & Tommy Lee Jones had real animosity with each other nearly all the whole shooting schedule (it has been mentioned on other commentaries).
Tommy Lee Jones was bitter that his lame oscar bait movie about Ty Cobb completely flopped while Jim Carrey was fresh of 3 back to back to back blockbuster hits.
My favourite of the four Batman movies my theory of why people hated it back then because its not Tim Burton now people don't like it because its a trend to hate this movie.
***** No that's what I'm what saying is its mostly following trend of it was hated and mostly look at all of the negativity it had and when you see reviews about it the ones I've seen its mostly "This movie is silly camp its just entertainment for kids and no good storytelling for the adults."maybe not those exact words but hopefully you get the gist of it.
of the 80s-90s era.. the Batman movies actually go in order of good to BAD.. and batman forever completely flips the switch from gothic.. to campy action, and goes even further in Batman and Robin.. they go away from the dark sets in the first 2 and throw in day glo.. plus the villains are even more played for laughs. If Jones had played it straight.. and Carrey brought it down a level.. and played it a bit more sinister.. it actually had a shot to be a great movie..
I just wanna say, this commentary does not work when its monetized for UA-cam ads. lol So I have to repeatedly pause the movie and rewind it to make up for the ads that constantly interrupt the commentary's run time. Super sucks!
RIDDLER should be the one glorifying the scene with colors...literally rainbowing BATMAN out of such darkness. BATMAN FOREVER was certainly light hearted; which is understanding considering RIDDLER as a villain. Two-Face looks like he's out of Star Trek TNG
I have a lot of fond memories with this movie. I find it funny how Im listening to this as Im watching it. But, like I said, I have a lot of memories with this movie.
To think THIS COULD HAVE BEEN; BATMAN CONTINUES Michael Keaton read the script "THIS IS CRAP. THE FUCK TIM???" Mike calls Tim Burton "Batman 3???" That's HOW Tim Burton found out Warner Bros. fired him. "BATMAN FOREVER??? Sounds like something one would write in a yearbook FOREVER? Gross." - Tim Burton
I don't get the feeling they know how popular these Batman commentaries are. There's real demand here for the Nolan and Reeves films, the 66 film, episodes of the many different shows, you could do so much with this format.
Nolan comes back for one more movie with Christian Bale batman and Joseph G Levitt as Nightwing: The Dark Knight Rises Forever… people would praise that title lol

I cracked up at 1:22:43. That was insane! Lot of plot holes in this film; Two-face and Riddler raid Bruce's mansion, and then just leave him there? Really? This was a very fun commentary that analyzes all the good and bad things in the film.
Clint Eastwood (of all people) was supposed to play Two-Face in the 1966 show but he wound up getting shipped off to Sergio Leone to do THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY after the tv censors decided the character was too "gruesome."
Hey Mr. Kevin Smith. I enjoy your comedic (negative) criticism of this film because Your Funny. I on the other hand enjoy this movie and even (Clooney's Batman and Robin) because I see the 4 original films as a time line, An evolution if you will, of Bruce Wayne as a person. He starts off as Michael Keaton... a weird loner. Then he grows into the good looking Val Kilmer who's haunted yet heroic. Ultimately Bruce Wayne grows into the grey haired suave Dr. George Clooney.... In these films we go from a creepy (Gothic) Dark Knight - to a colorful (Campy) Family friendly Superhero! These films inspire! :)
They might be on that....this was published only a month ago now. Maybe they're working their way up to it. EDIT: At about 2:10:00 Kevin says a Batman & Robin commentary is next. Patience is a virtue.
Kevin, please take Marc and do commentaries on all the modern Superman movies. I love you guys; you're almost as good as Rifftrax. Then do the Spider-Man ones.
That might be his own prejudice. By 1995 Kevin Smith had already directed 2 feature films, looked like an adult, and probably saw himself as way too old to play Robin. And COD is a few months older than Smith. FWIW I sorta saw it the same way. I was 20 when I saw it and knowing that O'Donnell is years older than me it was tough to buy it.
Normally Im not the type to bitch about ads throughout, but its really annoying on a commentary track. Have to keep realligning the movie with the track over and over..😵
+Bill Hiers he has an everlasting grudge against Tim Burton because Burton rejected his script for Superman Lives...okay fine, not many people appreciate the art of Batman Returns but I just can't stand how this guy criticises the 1989 movie "Batman", the epitome of Batman movies.
I never got why people dismissed forever, I really enjoyed it. I was a huge Batman fan because of Burton's films and loved Returns. I loved the first because it was dark and edgy, I liked the second because it had heart, and liked forever because it was bright and different. Even though I was a fan I did dismiss Batman and Robin and you know it is bad when a ten year old fan says they are not even trying anymore. Begins was amazing, dark Knight almost lost me but Joker kept me, and Rises was good but to be expected close behind Knight.

Do you have any other episodes of fatman on Batman else where?
All the old Kevin Smith movies had great commentary tracks. Affleck is really funny.
Take a shot every time Kev says '1995 in a movie theater' 🤣
Was thinking this exact same thing. You’re wasted after ten minutes if you play this game.

Just watched all of these with the films on and these commentaries. Now I can never watch them again without these. Classic!!
hahahhaa, I love these commentaries. I literally bit my tongue at the 'bat bush' part.
this is still one of my favorite batman movies

@Tib Kun Not really it all depends on genetics though of course
1:21:45 Man did Iaugh my ass off. I was in tears and my stomach hurted but I could not stop laughing.
Dude, your commercials ruined the commentary.
kevins sounds just like kilmer when he talking the R on the robin suit
1:22:49-funniest part of the entire video.
+uncbb89 We can agree on that.
Easily
Please fuckin release this thing
Normally Im not the type to bitch about ads throughout, but its really annoying on a commentary track. Have to keep realligning the movie with the track over and over..😵
Oddly, Kevin Smith seems more forgiving of this movie than Batman Returns.
+Bill Hiers he has an everlasting grudge against Tim Burton because Burton rejected his script for Superman Lives...okay fine, not many people appreciate the art of Batman Returns but I just can't stand how this guy criticises the 1989 movie "Batman", the epitome of Batman movies.
*****
Then why does criticising The Dark Knight pisses off most people?
+Blue Whovian I take it you've never seen the American masterpiece that is Jingle All the Way!!
@@AshrafAnam " not many people appreciate the art of Batman Returns"
To appreciate it is to know how bad it is.
@@alphanerd7221 That's just your opinion.
i really need to watch his commentary over the batman movies
46:30...best moment ever.
I never got why people dismissed forever, I really enjoyed it. I was a huge Batman fan because of Burton's films and loved Returns. I loved the first because it was dark and edgy, I liked the second because it had heart, and liked forever because it was bright and different. Even though I was a fan I did dismiss Batman and Robin and you know it is bad when a ten year old fan says they are not even trying anymore. Begins was amazing, dark Knight almost lost me but Joker kept me, and Rises was good but to be expected close behind Knight.
I dismiss them all.The 1963 movie was better than all of them put together.
When are you guys doing Batman and Robin?
Another guy born in 79 that liked Batman Forever.
They missed one thing: Schumacher destroyed Batcave before Nolan. Okay, Nolan destroyed the entire Wayne Manor but still.
