Batman Forever

Ternyata ‘Batman Forever’ Ada Director Extended Cut-nya Loh!

July 23, 2020

Semenjak merebaknya kabar versi Director’s Cut aka Snyder’s Cut film Justice League (2017), tak ayal dna tak heran, jika kemudian muncul juga kabar / rumor sejenis dari salah satu film beserta sutradaranya.

Maksudnya disini, pasca kabar eksis-nya versi orisinil Justice League (dan kenyataannya memang ada), lantas bermunculan rumor terkait versi orisinil / director’s cut dari film-film yang dirumorkan.

Dan salah satu yang dirumorkan tersebut, tak lain dan tak bukan adalah rumor director’s cut dari film Batman populer 90-an, Batman Forever (1995) yang disutradarai oleh Joel Schumacher (St. Elmo’s Fire), yang beberapa waktu lalu meninggal dunia.

Jadi seperti yang pertama kali dilaporkan oleh ScreenRant, terungkap bahwa sebenarnya terdapat versi penuh Schumacher dari Batman Forever. Lansiran tersebut kian diperkuat oleh Variety, yang beberapa waktu lalu, memang mendapatkan kabarnya langsung dari pihak Warner Bros.

Spesifiknya lagi, dijelaskan bahwa di versi Shumacher’s Cut, Batman Forever memiliki tone yang jauh lebih kelam.

Di pembuka filmnya, diperlihatkan bagaimana Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones) bisa kabur dari Arkham Asylum, adegan The Riddler (Jim Carrey) yang membajak Batcave yang jauh lebih panjang durasinya, serta filmnya juga sangat berfokus pada latar belakang Bruce Wayne (Val Kilmer) menjadi Batman.

Apabila laporan tersebut memang benar adanya, tentunya hal ini langsung membuat kita-kita yang fanboy Batman, sudah mulai berdoa sekeras mungkin agar ke depannya, WB mau untuk merilis versi Schumacher tersebut.

Terlebih sekali lagi, si sutradara yang cukup flamboyan tersebut, kini sudah tiada. Sehingga akan menjadi penghormatan terakhir yang paling keren baik dari fanboy Batman maupun moviegoers lainnya terhadap Schumacher jika versi orisinilnya tersebut dirilis. 

Apakah WB akan merilisnya?

Jim Carrey as the Riddler in Batman Forever

Jim Carrey Recalls Batman Forever & Tommy Lee Jones Relationship

In a video interview, Jim Carrey reflects on his time as the Riddler in Batman Forever, and why he and Tommy Lee Jones did not get along.

If you were not around in 1995 when Batman Forever came out, it’s hard to convey just how big the movie was upon release. Val Kilmer, fresh off minting his movie star bonafides via Tombstone, was playing a suaver and more seductive Caped Crusader, Nicole Kidman’s status was just recently on the rise in the U.S., fast food cross-promotions were everywhere, and you couldn’t escape that Seal son about kisses and roses, even if you wanted to. 

(Not that you should…) Still perhaps one of the biggest gets for the franchise’s younger fans was the addition of Jim Carrey as the Riddler. A comedian who became an overnight sensation with slightly less mature audiences following Ace Ventura and The Mask, his casting was hailed as the equivalent of getting Jack Nicholson to play the Joker.

However, some older moviegoers were less keen. And that includes Tommy Lee Jones, who played the Riddler’s glorified sidekick and fellow fiend, Two-Face. Jones’ cool disdain toward Carrey has become infamous over the years, and it’s something Carrey still remembers well. Hence he talked a little about it again while chatting with Norm MacDonald this week.

In the third season of Norm MacDonald’s online talk show (via EW), Norm MacDonald Live, Carrey recalled, “I was the star, and that was the problem.” Leaving the viewer to fill in the gaps of what that means, Carrey elaborated by recollecting his much talked about awkward dinner chat with Jones in a restaurant.

“I went over and said, ‘Hey, Tommy, how you doing?’ And the blood just drained from his face like he had been thinking about me 24 hours a day. … It was before the biggest scene we have together in the movie. 

The blood just drained from his face. He started shaking and he got up and … he must have been in mid-kill-me fantasy or something. He went to hug me and said, ‘I hate you. I really don’t like you.’ I said, ‘Gee man, what’s the problem?’ I pulled up a chair, which probably wasn’t smart. And he said, ‘I cannot sanction your buffoonery.’”

At the time, it was probably hard to imagine anyone feeling that about Carrey, however times change and it seems Carrey understands a bit more about why anyone during an earlier time would say that to the man who wore a sport coat with electric, neon lights in the shape of question marks lighting up the soundstage.
