Schumacher’s Lost Batman Film

This is what I would have liked the Batman saga to be like in the 90s: 1. Batman 89s 2. Batman Returns 3. Batman Continues 4. Batman And Robin 5. Batman Triunphant

People who only know Joel for Batman & Robin often dismiss his talent. I have a soft spot for his cheesy Batman movies, but the dude was genuinely a great director. The Lost Boys was a fantastic film and I feel like Batman Unchained could’ve been great.

There was another script for Batman 5 called “Batman DarKnight” (yes that’s the actual title). Written by Lee Shapiro and Stephen Wise. It was heavily inspired by The Dark Knight Returns as it saw an older Batman who had retired and Dick Grayson now in college. The villains were Scarecrow and ManBat but I’m not too sure who was considered for the roles of the villains this time around.

I have my respects to Schumacher. At least, he knows how to handled Batman but got screwed by WB. Batman Unchained would have the potential to be a great movie but got done dirty by multiple things which caused it’s cancellation.

8:27 dang, bro couldn't even say his name 😭

Still waiting for a Batman movie with Scarecrow as the main villain. He has so much potential and could lend for a very psychological story. I hope reeves uses him in his trilogy

Seeing The Scarecrow as the main villain would of been cool, I hope we still do some day

The unchained script I have says that Harley was not the daughter of the joker but a circus clown with Dick who was infatuated with the Joker from afar. An obsessive fan girl who could see no wrong in her idol’s actions and blamed Batman for murdering her beloved before they could meet. Dick had conflict with his childhood friend over her hatred of someone he sees as a hero triumphing over a murderer, meanwhile Batman felt immense guilt being seen as hero and confronted for murder he did commit

I can see a very loose, albeit unintentional, story arc for Batman across the four films. Batman 89 he doesn’t really kill until the end of the film. He’s found his parent’s killer, the man who directly traumatized him as a kid, the man who made him terrified, who destroyed this kid without a care in the world. Bruce has finally found him. He doesn’t care anymore. All he sees is his tormentor. So he kills him and his men who are just as devoid of humanity as him. He saved Gotham, but lost his soul. Batman Returns, he sees that killing stopped the Joker. So why not take out any other criminal that comes his way? How else are they going to stay down? Until he meets Catwoman. The two are the same, “split, right down the center”. She’s a mirror for Batman, a living embodiment of revenge and killing. She “dies” getting her revenge against Shreck , slapping Bruce’s offer of a normal life, where they can heal together. He swears off killing. This would be why Gotham is lighter and more neon color like. Batman has made Gotham slightly safer, so the citizens party. Batman and Robin Gotham has become a playground. So part 5 could have brought that hypothetical arc full circle

I think Joel absolutely got the worst treatment possible with Batman & Robin, he was very capable of some outstanding movies, but the suits basically ordered him to make a glorified toy ad.

Nicolas Cage as Scarecrow would have been 🔥

I started watch your channel when the joker 2019 Easter eggs and you have gotten really good at engaging viewers, great job👏

This would've been a good ending to Tim Burton's universe if he continued the movies.

Wow! Courtney Love as Harley Quinn would have been phenomenal, I think she would’ve been the definitive groundbreaking roll for the character just as Michelle Pheiffer IS the Cat Woman!

By the way, DC is going to release at the end of this month the comic "Batman 89: Echo" - a continuation of the previous comic-sequel of Batman Burton, which, judging by everything, will be based on Batman Unchained. The main villains there will be the Scarecrow and Harley Quinn.

Serious respect for Joel Schumacher apologizing. These days directors just blame the fans.

When i was a kid, I remember reading a short article in the newspaper about the next Batman movie (Forever) having a lighter tone. Fast forward to the Etv premier of Batman Forever and what stuck out to me was every celebrity they interviewed like Dean Cain (Lois and Clark) saying it was " a great movie for the kids" or something like that. And I'm like, oh no.....oh no.... Luckily I enjoyed the movie. Then came Batman and Robin.

There’s a comic coming out that may potentially use the remains of this film so we’ll see if that ends up being true

Bro YOU ARE AMAZING continue!!!💪🏻

It pisses me off that folks complan that snyder's batman kills even though he's really inspired by frank miller's version yet batkeaton was kind of more phyopathic and strghts up kills joker compare to batfleck it's like if valture went to a DC universe and became anti-hero like the punisher
