I’ve always loved the artwork for the movie adaptions. My personal favorite is the Batman Returns artwork

 

[The Caped Knight]

I love the cover art from Batman Forever comic adaptation

If not for the ridiculous addition of nipples to the suit, that would be one of the best looking on screen bat suits. So sleek and vibrant

 

[The Caped Knight]

Honestly the nipples are not as horrible in the Forver Panther Batsuit compared to the outrageous ones featured in Batman and Robin

Just a shoutout to Val. Watched his documentary on Prime last night.

Sorry to hear he didn't enjoy his Batman experience. I thought he was great for what he was given.

 

[The Caped Knight]

It's interesting to go back and watch interviews from the past to see that the actor really had unique experience on being the character.

I've gotta watch that Val doc one of these days.

I remember reading the Batman Forever adaptation before I saw the movie when I was a kid. The comic was quite a bit darker and I specifically remember being freaked out by this panel of the Graysons' corpses laying in a pool of blood:

Needless to say the movie had a much lighter tone.

This version of Chase looks less like Nicole Kidman and more like mid-90s Pamela Anderson.

Why is the cut from Brandy’s name to Two-Face punching a guy in the face making me laugh so hard?

 

[Doctor Jones]

Holy **** that looks like a great soundtrack.

 

[Captain Tired]

Is it just me or does Forever have an unusually diverse and abundant pop soundtrack for a '90s comic-book film? I know it's been ramped up some more in recent years, what with Snyder doing it all the time. But prior to Snyder? I don't recall it being done that much in comic-book movies in the 90s/00s. The closest thing I can think off, offhand, is Prince's '89 soundtrack.

The soundtracks for the Schumacher Batman movies in particular were pretty stacked. There were a fair amount of similar comic book movie soundtracks in the '90s and '00s like The Crow and the Blade movies but the other big ones that I remember were the Raimi Spider-Man movies and Daredevil. The difference between those soundtracks and the ones that we've seen come out of the MCU and DCEU is that for the most part, the songs from Batman Forever, Spider-Man, Daredevil, etc. were written and released specifically for those movies. I consider those to be a different category than the more jukebox style soundtracks of the MCU like we've heard in the Guardians movies and Endgame, to name a few. There are a few exceptions though, like how The Avengers had its own soundtrack released even though the Soundgarden song was the only one heard in the movie, and Aquaman had some songs written specifically for it as well. Still, none of them really caught hold of pop culture like those Batman 89 and Forever soundtracks. Even though I was only 7 years old at the time, I still remember you couldn't turn on the radio without hearing "Kiss From A Rose" in the summer of '95.

The Spider-Man trilogy also had its pop/rock soundtrack with

Spider-Man (2002)- Hero (Chad Kroeger song),

Spider-Man (2004) - Vindication (dashboard confession)

Spider-Man (2007) - Signal Fire (Snow Patrol)

 

[GothamCity]

The cinematography of these last 2 90s films where fantastic.
These films never intended to be taken serious and where just made for fun, watch it just to laugh.

I had BF on VHS as a kid and that ad would play before the movie. I had not seen that ad since what, 1996?

 

[Captain Tired]

The 'REAL GAME BEGINS' commercial for the game tie-in is one of the best commercials ever made imo.

The game itself, not so much.

It helps that the ad is partly comprised of the alternate ending footage, iirc.

Batman Forever had an awesome soundtrack

Hans Zimmer's Favorite Batman Score Is Not the One You'd Expect - IGN

Hans Zimmer calls Elliot Goldenthal's Batman score the best one.

 

[Rick190293]

That's... surprising haha. In fact, Goldenthal's theme is not bad, it's just too cheesy imo.

I love the theme from Batman Forever. It's underestimated. Props to Hans giving it some praise.
