'Batman Forever' Writer Still is Fighting for the "Schumacher Cut" to Be Released

Batman Forever screenwriter Akiva Goldsman has not given up on the hope of seeing the much-talked-about "Schumacher Cut" released. Joel Schumacher was brought in to revamp the Batman movie franchise after Tim Burton's dark sequel, Batman Returns, scared off parents and younger audiences. Batman Forever was a box office smash hit, but some fans took issue with the change in tone from Burton's movies. For nearly five years, talk about a fabled, darker director's cut, known as "The Schumacher Cut," has circulated, and the film's writer isn't giving up on it seeing the light of day.
