That's why Warner Bros. and Tim Burton wanted Joel Schumacher to remove those scenes and make it as a living comic book is that they don't want him to do the same mistake he did with Batman Returns, just to make it safe for the mainstream audience to see it in the movie theaters. Otherwise, it is hell to pay.The Film Historianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05156167188089918552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880033253850981576.post-34354204689304693732020-07-20T03:33:06.817+01:002020-07-20T03:33:06.817+01:00The Riddler being a fortune teller was The Batchle...The Riddler being a fortune teller was The Batchlers'idea before it was rejected.

And the quality would very much be like that of the deleted scenes with no post-production, effects, audio, music. From the shooting script, there's maybe 15 or so pages of material cut out. A few lines here and there, the deleted scenes, Riddler running around the circus disguised as a fortune teller, a few other moments. But Bruce getting amnesia, the revelation of the diary, and encountering the bat in the cave, those were the most significant cuts from a plot level. And you can see what was cut. Would I like to see at least some of that worked back in? Sure. It was a nice thread, and the abridged version in the film lacks a payoff. But it still wouldn't fix the underlying issues I have with the story. I'd love to see it, but I wouldn't expect it to be a game-changing revelation.NoelCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744014386233716741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880033253850981576.post-82375006561047441582020-07-08T04:11:58.617+01:002020-07-08T04:11:58.617+01:00Besides, they only going to do the effects for it....Besides, they only going to do the effects for it.The Film Historianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05156167188089918552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880033253850981576.post-41280418622554601402020-07-06T02:51:40.808+01:002020-07-06T02:51:40.808+01:00Maybe you should sign up.
