Magazine Article: Vanity Fair April 1995 issue
Been a while since I posted any magazine content, here's a quick one from Vanity Fair. Nothing much of interest in the written content but the photography by Herb Ritts (who did the promo shots of, I think, all the Burton/Schumacher movies) is stellar. Note the shot of Batman - a fantastic pose - in which you can see that his armpits are actually spandex!

That's why both Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher are best friends since 1987.
ReplyDeleteI am still amazed at all of the detail on Robin's suit. What a great design, such a shame it was only used in this film, and sparingly at that.
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of Batman & Robin, and I liked the Nightwing suit, but I have strongly mixed feelings about how Dick was handled in that film. Robin was handled so perfectly in Forever. Then again, each of the Burton/Schumacher films really was it's own iteration of the story, each one so unique - which keeps the series fresh and interesting, yet a bit more continuity would have really helped with the character arcs.
I'm a fan of Batman '89. Michael Keaton was great in it. I'm a fan of Batman Returns. Michelle Pfeiffer was a fantastic Catwoman. I'm a fan of Batman Forever. Chris O'Donnell was a great Robin. And like you, I'm a fan of Batman & Robin. Alicia Silverstone was a fantastic Batgirl. The reasons why I like the Burton Schumacher Batman films is that they showed Batman fight the villians. And I'm a fan of Batman Begins. Because Christopher Nolan wanted to make an epic superhero film is that he wanted an ensemble cast.
