Perhaps there were more deleted scenes left off the DVD but probably not anything substantial. Really, the only ones that were necessary to the film's plot were the two Batcave ones. I like the opening Arkham scene as well but it isn't needed to make a complete film.
There are more footage on youtube that they left out, if you search youtube you can find it all! EX. The beginning of the film was totally different, it opened with Two-Face's escape from Arkham.


I have given a name to my pain, and it is BATMAN.

Yes, I was referring to those scenes. There are about 6 deleted scenes on the DVD. I was just saying that I don't know if there are any deleted scenes not included as bonus features on the DVD.


Anyone know why it was called Batman FOREVER? I have no clue!

^My take on that?  Because Bruce Wayne will be Batman...forever!

That awkward moment when you remember the only Batman who's never killed is George Clooney...

Batman Forever:

-- I liked the psychological flashback stuff (even though they left out the stuff about Bruce feeling responsible for their death) 
-- I liked the concept of Batman retiring (even though it didn't make any sense and was poorly executed)


B & R:

-- I like the fact that they used the BTAS stuff about Freeze's wife being sick.
-- I like that Bane's costume was reasonably close to the comics
-- I like Uma's skintight costumes
-- I like how Alfred programmed his brain algorithms into the Batcomputer which subsequently predicted that Barbara would also want to be a crimefighter and then proceeded to design and manufacture a costume for her.

Ok, maybe not that last one.

lol, Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me just came on my iTunes


I pretty much hate both of Schumacher's films. I can tolerate Forever, and it would be a whole lot better with all of the deleted scenes included. I'm still waiting for a directors cut DVD.

I can maybe tolerate certain scenes from Forever, but as a whole... no.  I mean, this ain't 1995 anymore.  DVD's have really changed everything.  We've got the complete BTAS, both Burton flicks in outstanding quality with outstanding extras, BB (which ain't my fave but at least it reveres and respects the character and the fans), TDK (NOW we're talking!) and also MOTP.  I just don't see any value in the Shlockmaker movies, except perhaps as historical curiousities and examples of how not to do Batman.

I own them, and watch them when in the mood, I like things about both of them, but thats just me!
