Missing dialogue

[arnaud187]

I was watching the old trailers when I stumbled upon BATMAN & ROBIN and noticed something. There's one particular line that I don't remember hearing (see clip below) in the film. No, I am not talking about ''Bundle up boys. There's a storm coming.'' It's the other one, ''Batman will watch his beloved Gotham perish, then I will kill him.''.

I did some searching and apparently the original dialogue (that took place at Ivy's hideout) between her and Freeze was longer. As you can see, they filmed the whole scene, but decided to cut the ending. I for one would love to see the expression on Uma's face when she says ''I'm hungry.  I think I'll have poultry.''.

Anyway, you can read the rest of the dialogue below.


FREEZE
   You will distract the bat and bird
   while I prepare to freeze Gotham.

      IVY
   Can't we just ice them along with
   the rest of the citizenry?

      FREEZE
   That is far too merciful.  Batman
   will watch his beloved Gotham perish,
   then I will kill him.

      IVY
   As a team, the duncely duo protect
   each other.  But the Robin is young.
   Impetuous.  If I could get him alone-

      FREEZE
   One kiss and you could lift the mask
   from his lifeless face.  Their secret
   identities would be revealed.  But
   how best to bait a brid?

      IVY
   The way to a boy's heart is through
   his ego.  What strapping young hero
   could resist his very own...signal?

      FREEZE
   Inspired, Ms. Ivy.

      IVY
   I'm hungry.  I think I'll have poultry.

Nice find, guess that pretty much confirms it was filmed. I really like how that exchange portrays Mr. Freeze, but Ivy's dialog is still too goofy. Loved the trailer, too. Danny Elfman's score will make anything menacing.

[arnaud187]

Agreed, the dialogue is goofy, but then the practically all of the rest of the movie's dialogue is a joke anyway.

[The Laughing Fish]

Agreed, the dialogue is goofy, but then the practically all of the rest of the movie's dialogue is a joke anyway.

To be fair, the dialogue in all the Alfred-Bruce scenes weren't too shabby.

That's why I said practically all. The Alfred-Bruce scenes were the only good thing about this movie.

By the way, there's also another scene (not that anyone here cares lol) that was removed. It's the one where Arnold's character freezes Frosty for the first time. Here's an excerpt from the script:

                MS. B. HAVEN
   Freezy, I'm feeling...hot.

      FREEZE
   I find that unlikely.

      MS. B. HAVEN
   Okay, my hair is brittle, my skin
   is dry and I don't care.  I'd
   weather blizzards to have you.
   You're the most perfect man I've
   ever known.

      FREEZE
   To be frozen.  To never change.  A
   life of perpetual ice-olation.
   There is little perfection in that.

      MS. B. HAVEN
      (pushing closer)
   What say we turn up the heat?

      FREEZE
   You're skating on thin ice.  My
   passion thaws for my bride alone.

      MS. B. HAVEN
   Forget your frosty femme.  These lips
   are wet and ready to get frostbite.

      FREEZE
   Hop away little bunny.  Before I
   cool your jets.  Permanently.

The Bunny storms off.

      FREEZE
   I wonder how cold I can get my
   shower...Frosty!

Freeze's faithful aide, FROSTY, appears by his side.

      FREEZE
   Everyone is always having a good
   time.  Except me.  Try as I might,
   can find no pleasure.  Perhaps my
   heart truly has turned to ice.

143   Freeze lifts his gun and FIRES, freezing Frosty solid.

      FREEZE
   Well, that was fun.  There's hope for
   me yet.

143A   Freeze stares at his frozen aide a beat, changes the
setting on his gun and FIRES, a THAWING BEAM melting
Frosty so he stands now, soaked and dripping like a wet cat.

143B   Freeze turns on his heel.  Frosty follows him past
mounting files of research.  Scrawled schematics  An icy
workshop.

      FREEZE
   Do you think I'm mad, Frosty?

      FROSTY
      (wringing out his sleeves)
   That's really a judgment call, boss.

145   A flashing display on his suit watch reads LOW POWER.

      FREEZE
   Battling the bat exhausted my power.

From a safe, Freeze takes three small diamonds, place
them in the suit compartment.  His power levels spike to
normal.

      FREEZE
   But I was successful nevertheless.


And here's the clip:

In one of the novelizations while they're escaping Ivy complains "I hate heights!" and Freeze replies something like "You'll hate jail more, come on!," I was kind of surprised on rewatching the film that that wasn't included.

FREEZE
   One kiss and you could lift the mask
   from his lifeless face.  Their secret
   identities would be revealed.  But
   how best to bait a brid?

It's kind of stupid that Freeze would want to reveal their identities for about 5 seconds, that he would consider telling the public that real soon before they were freezed a cruel punishment.

I rather like that one. I'd prefer that than all of Mr. Freeze's ice puns.

There's another extra line from a novelization and the script-after Alfred takes Robin's side that Bruce isn't trusting Robin enough, Bruce complains "When did I become the bad guy?"
