Fatman Beyond podcast's co-host Mark Bernardin shed some light on the “Schumacher Cut” while speaking with his podcast partner and filmmaker Kevin Smith. He mentioned that a 170-minute cut of Batman Forever exists in the vault of Warner Bros. He said that the film went “much deeper” into the lead character’s childhood psychosis and his mental blocks. Bernardin stated that it was a “more serious, darker version” of Batman Forever. He added that it was one of the first assemblies that late filmmaker Joel Schumacher filed with the studio and they eventually cut it down because it was “too dark for kids” to watch.
