Cytat:Hello – and thank you for joining me to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the smash hit superhero movie Batman Forever – which exploded into movie theatres in 1995!
My goal with this fanedit was to present a cut of Forever that aligns more with director Joel Schumacher's intended vision. By reinserting deleted scenes and alternate takes – as well as drastically restructuring the film to more accurately follow the shooting script by Akiva Goldsman – I believe that Forever can shine as a serious and darkly fascinating character study of the Caped Crusader – while still retaining the larger-than-life, 'comic-book' fun throughout, of course!
This fanedit uses the earlier Blu-ray transfer as – despite the bump in fidelity – the newer transfer that came bundled with the 4K release features some unsatisfactory colour timing/grading changes in my opinion. The deleted scenes/workprint footage were sourced from the same release, while alternate takes were primarily sourced from trailers & bonus material. The score uses excerpts from Eliot Goldenthal's work on Alien³, Interview With the Vampire & Demolition Man, alongside the rare recording sessions for both Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. As well as Goldenthal's score, an iconic theme from Danny Elfman's work on Batman (1989) also makes an appearance.
For a more detailed breakdown of what's new and different in this edit, please check out the changelog!
Batman Forever: 30th Anniversary Edition was cut, edited and assembled in Adobe Premiere Pro 2020, before being colour graded & visually overhauled with Dehancer in DaVinci Resolve. The '35mm' version uses 35mm transfers of Batman Forever trailers as a visual reference. The '35mm' version aims to replicate the visual flavour and aesthetic of these vintage film trailers in both colour choice and depth. Topaz Video Enhance AI has been used to upscale the aforementioned deleted scenes, while Eleven Labs voice AI cloning was used – in combination with real human voice acting – to fill in for missing dialogue takes.
I am not the first to put together a Batman Forever fanedit – and I certainly won't be the last. So with that said, I must pay respect to the works that came before mine:
• Batman Forever: Red Book Edition by Scaperat
• Batman Forever: The Virtual Workprint by Josh Jensen
• Batman Forever: Restored by Lucas Valcanti (luc4valcanti)
I would also like to thank luc4valcanti, Onyx_Tw, MinddKidzag, CutSchumacher, Neil Rickatson of 1995 Batman.com and burtonsgotham for their assistance on this project! This fanedit simply would not be possible without their support and contributions.
Until the fabled 'Schumacher Cut' is in our hands, I hope that this fanedit will bring joy to Batman fans around the world. #ReleaseTheSchumacherCut!
Courage now... truth always... BATMAN FOREVER!
Yours,
Jordan (jordanjabroni)

Autor oczywiście korzysta z dostępnych materiałów, aby posklejać tę wersję, więc nie będzie tu wszystkiego z workprinta, którego posiada Kevin Smith (sceny w Wayne Enterprises przed poznaniem się Bruce'a z Nygmą, ledwo liźnięty wątek utraty pamięci po postrzale w głowę, na pewno zabraknie wielu drobniejszych ujęć i linijek dialogowych sprzed postsynchronów - choć część jak widać zastępuje wytworem A.I.), ale i tak chętnie to obejrzę. Szkoda tylko, że korzysta z wersji ze starego Blu-raya, bo remaster ma zdecydowanie lepszą jakość (w tym kolorystykę, ale z tego co czytam ten Jordan zbytnio przywiązany jest do wersji VHS/DVD), no i deleted scenes z wydania 2DVD są upscalowane przy pomocy A.I., więc ich jakość bywa różna (wazelina jak w remasterach Camerona).
