For those asking, the music used at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="677">11:17</a> is not "official" Dr. Who music, it's an unused track from Batman The Brave and The Bold video game. Seems like the composer made some weird test tracks that are homages to themes they liked! Weird! The track in question is: Batman: Brave and the Bold (DS) - Unused (10th Doctor Theme)

@@MrPsyren99 Yeah, whenever you look at successful or semi-successful takes on a comedic Batman, what they tend to have in common is that Batman himself plays things straight. Even Adam West, a lot of what made his take so iconic was that he would deliver lines like "Hand me the Bat-shark-repellant spray!" with complete conviction.

@ananthram909 2 года назад

the Adam West movie was way more lighthearted than either of Schumacher's batmovies, but the reason it's better is that it was actually clever and funny rather than being another toy commercial.

one small thing to note in regards to movies making money is an older movie making less money than a newer one can sometimes be attributed to inflation, just like if you compare the value of a dollar 50 years ago to now, that difference is still true between movies - tho not in this case since it was just 2~ years apart but still, something to think bout another thing is, sometimes a continuation gets a lot of money potentially because the one before was well liked & famous, so a bad movie can get a lot of money just because the one before it wasnt bad, and then when we finally get a good one, it can be screwed cause the bad one drove people away also damn, i knew this was a trainwreck, but this is even worse than i expected i used to like this movie when very young somehow - - also joel is such a rarity, someone that can admit their own faults, even tho it might not have been very much his fault at all, considering how obnoxious they were about making toys shame he died, RIP

Another reason modern movies can make so much more money: There are (or at least were 2 years ago) more movie goers than ever before As ticket prices raised according to inflation, they didn't change in regards to population, so you have a situation where you can get massive box office earnings with simply advertisement. You just need to get those butts in the seats I think that's why (with a few exceptions) there are a lot of movies not doing nearly as well the last couple years as they probably should have: Streaming services and a lack of people wanting to go out has meant you can't get those population boosts

I remember watching this as a little kid and loving it. I had a lot of the toys back then (I was around 5 or 6 when it released) from the movie. Rewatched it when I was around 22 years old and now every time I do watch Batman & Robin I'm laughing at how campy and over the top the movie actually is lol. If their intention was make kids want to buy the toys, I think they succeeded.

I completely forgot about Taco Bell advertising a contest with a chance to win a real life to-scale version of the Batmobile. I don't remember who won it if anybody even did win it, but it seemed so bizarre at that point in time to have a contest to win an actual Batmobile (y'know, minus the weapons, technology, an Alfred that spoke to you, and pretty much everything that made the Batmobile what it should be) based off of Batman & Robin of all the Batman films and it being promoted by Taco Bell. Oh 90's, I sure do miss how badshit insane some of your ideas were.

I really wish I could’ve met mr Schumacher. I wanted to tell him how much I love Batman Forever! To me, that film is a perfect combination of dark Keaton Batman and 60’s West Batman. The story gets Batman and Bruce, Val was a great Batman, and I really enjoy nearly everything about it. My issues include Tommy Lee Jones trying to up Jim Carrey on being funny and I wish we could’ve seen the deleted scenes within the film. I mostly like-love everything else. I wanted him to know a Teen like me enjoyed that movie very much. I’m nineteen and still love it. My Fourth favorite behind ‘89, Returns, and The Batman

@geoffreytbaker8724 2 года назад

I know it's hip to crap on Schumacher's works (lord knows I've taken my shots) but the sad truth is that if this film did a little bit better commercially or critically or Clooney wasn't clowned quite as hard, we might not have gotten the Nolan reboot. Which meant it might not have been fashionable for other studios to reboot their works. Schumacher made a film so bad, it gave birth to the term "reboot." But that led to the Dark Knight so... Thanks? And also RIP

@ElVlogdeBob 2 года назад

I remember watching this in 1997 and actually liking it. But when I started to remember the movie in my head I was like "oooh it was terrible". A second watch reinforced those sentiments. I watched it again and with time I liked it. Not because it's good, but because it's a Batman movie that will never be made ever again...and that gives its charm somehow.

@grumpyoldbeargaming7090 2 года назад

Regarding your comment at the end, the reason (IMO) that more lighthearted takes on batman don't work is that they, ironically, take themselves too seriously. Wanna have their cake and eat it too. I think if they did a take that REALLY leaned into the camp and was self aware about it, it could work.

I do have to disagree on fun batman never being a good idea. Adam West and Batman the Brave and the Bold prove a light hearted Batman can work great. I do love the gritty versions and they're usually the ones remembered but I can't help myself going back to Brave and the Bold occasionally for all it's campy goodness. Great as always sir!

While I am firmly in the camp of "people take this film existing too seriously" I can't help but agree with you there. I pray that we may still have a phenomenal live action on screen depiction of such a tragic character. I loved him in Arkham City in addition to his iconic introduction in the animated series.

@MisterSouji 2 года назад

The lighthearted nature isnt the problem. Lego Batman was great. It was the inconsistency in tone and overall lack of quality that killed B&R. And the fact that it was in the same series as 89 and Returns, which were more adult films. Forever gets a lot of hate, but its something kids can watch as well as adults.

@TheBlackSeraph 2 года назад

Whenever I hear that Batman Forever outperformed Batman Returns, my faith in humanity dies a little more. The goofy attempts of BMF to throw back to the Adam West-style camp were IMO so bad that its sequel had no hope of being good, so I didn't watch BM&R. Interesting to see a behind the scenes look of how the series was run into the ground.

The more interviews with Joel Schumacher that I've read, the more I've come to appreciate him as a person, not to mention he directed Falling Down - one of the best movies ever. The man has his share of the blame for B&R, but he doesn't deserve 1/10th of the hate he gets for it.

Not gonna lie though Bone Thugs N Harmony and Smashing Pumpkins[future NWA owner Billy Corgan’s band] did salvage the soundtrack. Though not quite as iconic as Forever with Seal, U2, The Offspring, etc. but considering the rest of Batman and Robin[other than Michael Gough outacting everyone], the soundtrack was good[aside from R Kelly in future retrospect/hindsight].

@jj48 Год назад

As someone whose favorite Batman is Adam West, I think there were two main issues with Batman & Robin's approach. 1. Confusing tone. They had the jokes and silliness, but they also had plenty of innuendo and 90s grittiness. The silliness undermined the weight of the darker scenes, while the heavier stuff undermined the charm of the jokes. In trying to appeal to everyone, they just made sure everyone would have something to complain about. 2. Self-aware characters. The characters themselves were delivering their lines fully aware of how campy they were. It honestly wouldn't have surprised me if George Clooney had winked at the camera after some of his lines. Contrast with 1960s Batman, where, no matter how ridiculous and silly the lines got, Adam West and Burt Ward played them completely straight. I think the deadpan delivery was a large part of what made that series so fun, personally.
