Movies: "There is a Batman movie with a much longer darker cut and fans want it now"

[Elvis P]

"1995 delivered one of the most underrated superhero films ever made: Batman Forever. Directed by the late Joel Schumacher, this film fused the darkness of Tim Burton's Batman with the campiness of Adam West's, but as reported by Startefacts, a three-hour director's cut of the movie exists that delves deeper into the psychology of Bruce Wayne. Fans of the film have united on Twitter with #ReleaseTheSchumacherCut as a rallying cry to get this alleged version of the movie out of the vault and to the masses".

FWIW, the film's Wikipedia page mentions it:

Deleted scenes

Batman Forever went through a few major edits before its release. Originally darker than the final product, the film's original length was closer to 2 hours and 40 minutes, according to Schumacher. There was talk of an extended cut being released to DVD for the film's 10th anniversary in 2005. While all four previous Batman films were given special-edition DVD releases on the same day as the Batman Begins DVD release, none of them were given extended cuts, although some scenes were in a deleted scenes section in the special features.

Apparently, the director, himself, confirmed it nearly 20 years. The only real news here is that fans are now calling for it to be released, likely because a similar effort worked for Justice League.

I would love to see it, especially if its darker in tone.

When I saw 1995 I was hoping it would be about Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

Calling Batman Forever "one of the most underrated superhero films ever made" is certainly a take.
