Well, the news is out. Friends at Warner Bros. asked if I'd like to be a part of DC FanDome and I asked if it meant putting on the ol' bat suit. They said it's optional. Hmmm. On August 22, join me and hundreds of the incredibly talented people that shape the DC Multiverse. We're here to celebrate everything DC and most important, all of you. What a fun way to help unite us all. Hope to see you.

Val Kilmer’s confirmed presence at DC FanDome has sparked a new hope in fans that the “Schumacher Cut” of Batman Forever could release. Fan-driven “ReleaseTheSnyderCut” campaign reached its success as Zack Snyder’s Justice League is heading to HBO Max in 2021. Now, Batman Forever fans are hoping that the same thing can happen for the long-awaited and reportedly a very different version of Joel Schumacher’s Batman Forever.

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.
