in a podcast organized by HollywoodReporter With The Founder coming to us in December 2016, Michael Keaton has been particularly vocal about refusing to don the Batman suit again for Batman Forever, directed by Joel Schumacher. However, the latter requested it, as did Warner Bros., who had already pulled out their checkbook to re-cast the actor.
“bitter” called Keaton; The script I got and read was never good. I couldn’t understand why Joel Schumacher wanted to do that. And to add, quite briefly: “I knew there was a problem when he said, ‘Why does it have to be so dark?’
With its orgy of colors, which by the way gets even worse in the brutal Batman & Robin, the result Batman Forever is literally and visually light years away from the first two Tim Burton-delivered opus.
A difference that is not just visual; far away It always is Batman Forever It grossed $336 million at the worldwide box office before falling sharply in its next installment to $238 million.
FYI, Michael Keaton was supposed to play Bruce Wayne/Batman in a Batgirl spinoff before Warners decided to never release the film (although it was completed). Since then, the actor has been in luck as he is clearly seen under the Batsuit in the very effective trailer for The Flash, which is expected to hit our cinemas next June.
