Related: Why Joel Schumacher’s Batman Forever Is Underratedįor years, there has been talk of an unreleased director's cut of Batman Forever that would've taken the film in a darker direction. Despite that, Batman Forever has been viewed in a better light in recent years, especially following Schumacher's recent passing. Many were displeased with how Batman Forever altered the tone of Burton's films and the way Kilmer's performance differed from Keaton's.

While not as poorly-received as Schumacher's follow-up, Batman & Robin, Batman Forever hasn't always been counted as a favorite among fans. If you’d rather keep things old school, DC Comics will publish the stories in six printed comics between August and October, followed by a hardcover collection due in October.Batman Forever also starred Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face and Nicole Kidman as psychologist Dr. A press release promises the return of Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman, the debut of a new Robin (perhaps Marlon Wayans, as originally planned?), and the two-faced evolution of Billy Dee Williams’ Harvey Dent.Īltogether, there will be 12 new chapters that “pull on a number of threads left dangling by the prolific director.” The first six will debut on July 27th with the remaining six to follow in consecutive weeks thereafter. Written by original screenwriter Sam Hamm and brought to the page by artist Joe Quinones, the DC Digital First series will tell all new adventures featuring Michael Keaton’s incarnation of Batman.

Today, DC Comics announced they’re spending this summer in the filmmaker’s Dark Deco’d Gotham City with Batman ’89. Cue up the Danny Elfman score - maybe even Prince’s “Batdance” - and get ready to revisit Tim Burton’s Batman universe.
