Batman Forever, 1995

[candelabra]

При наличии хороших актеров, интересного, принципиально отличающегося видения нового режиссера Джоэла Шумахера, всё равно что-то не то.
Очень понравилась концовка, ведущая к приключениям Бэтмена и Робина.



When left at Wayne Manor, Grayson informs Wayne that he is leaving.
To this, Bruce replies that the circus would be halfway to Metropolis, which is the city of Superman.

Before deciding not to don the cape and cowl for a third time, Michael Keaton met with Joel Schumacher
and declined to join the project after deciding that he did not like the direction in which Schumacher was looking to take the franchise.
In the brief time that Tim Burton was still considering doing a third Batman film, Riddler was the only villain that he planned on using.
The idea of using Two-Face did not come up until Schumacher joined the project.

Scheduling conflicts with Храброе сердце forced Mel Gibson to turn down the role of Harvey Dent/Two-Face.

While learning to twirl a cane, Jim Carrey reportedly broke around a dozen prop canes and some of his trailer furniture.

Rene Russo was originally cast to play Dr. Chase Meridian when Michael Keaton was still attached to the project as Batman.
However, when Keaton dropped out of the project and was replaced by Val Kilmer, Russo was deemed too old to play his love interest and was replaced by Nicole Kidman.

Director Joel Schumacher wanted Nicole Kidman to play Poison Ivy, but he decided that Ivy, Two-Face and The Riddler would be too many villains for Batman.
Ivy (played by Uma Thurman) was saved for Бэтмен и Робин.

Before Chris O'Donnell was ultimately cast, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jude Law, Ewan McGregor had all been considered for the role of Robin at some point.

Tommy Lee Jones was Joel Schumacher's first choice for the role of Two-Face after working with him in Клиент.
Jones accepted the role because his son Austin, 11 at the time, said Two-Face was his favorite character.

Christian Bale had auditioned for the role of Robin. Ironically in the next few years, he went on to star as Bruce Wayne/Batman in Бэтмен: Начало
and its sequels Тёмный рыцарь and Темный рыцарь: Возрождение легенды.
