For the costume design, producer Peter MacGregor-Scott claimed that 146 workers were at one point working together. Pacific Data Images contributed to visual effects work, and provided a computer-generated Batman for complicated stunts. After Michael Keaton chose not to reprise his role, William Baldwin and Ethan Hawke were considered as a replacement before Val Kilmer joined the cast. Batman's alter ego, Bruce Wayne is much more prominent in the film, and like in Cartoon Network's animated Batman adaptation (which either had ended or was already close to ending at this time), he is shown to be actively involved in the management of Wayne Enterprises.

This was believed that the version is darker and contains much less campiness than the theatrical cut. A cut dubbed 'The Schumacher Cut' has yet to exist after Joel Schumacher passed away. Originally darker than the final product, but still with beautiful cinematography, the film's original length was closer to 2 hours and 40 minutes, according to Schumacher. There is a lot of energy on the screen! Batman Forever went through a few major edits before its release.

Though this film was produced by Tim Burton, it was in fact actually directed by Joel Schumacher, who mostly eschewed the dark, dystopian atmosphere of Burton's films by drawing inspiration from the Batman comic books of the Dick Sprang era, as well as the late 1960s ABC television series, but without the campiness of the next film. To its credit, this was the first live-action Batman film to put on the focus on Bruce Wayne grappling with his double life and gave him plenty of character development. Three years have passed since Batman returned.and now Batman attempts to stop Two-Face and the Riddler in their scheme to extract information from all the minds in Gotham City while adopting an orphaned acrobat named Dick Grayson-who becomes his sidekick, Robin-and developing feelings for psychologist Dr. Or something some kid would write in the yearbook.

That sounds like a tattoo that somebody would get when they're on drugs or something. Tim Burton always hated those titles like this one: Batman Forever.
