And we all got to know Bob Kane, and that was really a thrill. One of the really cool things about making the Batman movies was that Bob Kane, who created Batman, was still alive and he would come and visit the set almost every day, and that was fabulous. What do you think of The Dark Knight movies? I think Chris Nolan is so brilliant.
Actually the hard thing about doing interviews is I was laughing through the whole thing, and that never comes across.
I said, “I’m sorry if the fans were disappointed.” There were a lot of fans that weren’t, but of course there’s no headline in that. Joel Schumacher: I didn’t! I mean, I don’t know how it was interpreted. GQ: I saw that you just apologized again for Batman & Robin. GQ spoke to the director about Batman & Robin’s legacy in gay cinema and his real final words about the film. Schumacher apologized for Batman & Robin again just last week in an interview with VICE (or seemed to), but it turns out this week he isn’t sorry at all. But Batman & Robin is wonderfully silly, with an A-list cast, and there’s a delightful comic-book veneer and a sense of humor that the self-serious Christopher Nolan Dark Knight movies could have benefited from. And Michael Keaton, who famously played Bruce Wayne aka Batman on the big screen in 1989’s Batman and 1992’s Batman Returns, was also set to once again suit up for Batgirl.īatgirl was written by Christina Hodson ( Birds of Prey), and directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah ( Bad Boys for Life).Īre you disappointed by the news of Batgirl‘s shelving? Drop a comment with your thoughts below.It’s an unpopular opinion, even among Schumacher stans ( Batman Forever is the easy winner between the two). Simmons was said to be reprising his Justice League role as Barbara’s father, Commissioner Gordon. Little had been announced about Batgirl‘s plot, though Brendan Fraser was reportedly playing the villainous Firefly, while J.K. Discovery, which has ramped up its cost-cutting efforts following Warner Bros. But according to reports, the nearly completed film - whose budget is said to have ballooned to more than $90 million - was not testing well enough with audiences to instill confidence in Warner Bros. An on-record reason for the shelving has, of course, not been released.
