Not because of someone backlashing me or anything like just my own reasons...well various reasons.  :-\




1:I want my work to be sorta professional that people will remember it like do with other edits that & to be remembered as not just some random guy who edit the film cause he wanted to...no i want to be more then that.

2:I'm limited to so much that i wanna change alot but with little tech and equipment that i have i can't bring my vision to life which i wanna do badly for example during the rise of batmobile in the intro in forever i want to see the original batmobile in that shot cause it would look great coming up but since i don't know much about cgi rendering (which costs a lot of money)i can't do it that & gotham i want reinvent gotham that could look like the previous ones but with more neon mainly cause i gotta stick with the neon no matter how much you edit it but gotham during the day is fine it's what i'd imagine what it look like.

3:Re-scoring the film with elfman's music wasn't a problem cause i got some of action & sad scenes down but with some scenes like dick finding the batcave,the cicrus,two-face & riddler raiding the jewlery store & casino,ect. its hard to find suitable score that can fit those scenes not to mention trying to make the scene match well with the music also it's hard combing two scores together that doesn't sound weird or cut up but in some shots i want no score to play mainly cause it can go well without one but even removing the original audio from batman forever which leaves a watery sound of the original music lowered it can't be done without hearing the watery sound i mean it's kinda gone but you can still hear bits of the score that couldn't be removed plus sound effects is an issue too

4kay stockfootage isn't really a problem with me cause i had to use shots from the onstar batman commericals for the batmobile & batman which worked cause it's new shots but due to the bad quality of it felt way off also it felt like i was cheating using footage from burton films except for flashbacks or nightmare sequences of course but for such scenes like exiting the bat-cave,some shots of batman on top of some buildings from behind his back,& People running when joker's goon starting at them.It did filled in some of the gaps in my cut that worked but as said earlier i'd feel like i'm cheating plus it's hard to up the lighting & colors to match it with the schumacher footage.

5:Exenteding some scenes like two-face escapes i wanna add like footage of immates in arkham when doctor burton goes to see two-face in his cell not in hallway but like to show how much of a hell hole arkham is from the inside,Not only that i need other footage like chase on the talk show explaining how batman helps people & when they mention the events that happen in first films like joker posioning gotham & penguin killing the kids,The alternate ending with batman & robin on top of a building looking at the bat-signal to tie it in with the first two,The scene where riddler kills the gaurd who he failed to knock out.


As you can see i want this cut to be the completed director's or producer's cut with every bit of footage that was cut out back along with a few trims here & there to lower the cheese factor & to make batman forever a worthy sequel so it can complete burton's batman trilogy.I'm sorry for those who had their hopes or wanted to see my cut but as i posted right now you'll understand why i'm quiting on it,It's just too complex even for me to do but i promise one day when they release all the footage & i when learn how to do cgi rendering you bet your ass i'll get back on the this project & finish it hell i'll even send a damn copy of it with the cover art  ;) but right now we'll have to wait until then so i hope you guys can understand.  :(
You ether die a trilogy or live long enough to see yourself become batman & robin

It's a pity you can't carry on with the projec because I was really looking forward to it.

I understand you have rightly have high standards so I get where you're coming from.

Don't worry i'll pick up on the project again when i get more footage & when i learn cgi rendering just gonna take a hell of a time though  :-\

Hopefully, your editing skills improved by working on this project. I abandoned quite a few myself but I'm a better editor for it.
