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.

Hey guys,

Quick question. Does anyone here own style guides either from BATMAN FOREVER or BATMAN & ROBIN?

I know that the executives at WB wanted to make a lighter and more kid friendly BATMAN movie after BR. What I am curious about is why did the executives feel that Schumacher would the best choice.

Don't get me wrong, I think that he is a fine film maker, but if you look at his works pre 1995, then there's nothing that suggest camp, flamboyant, kid friendly or something along those lines. Yes, he has directed some really decent films, but it's not like they were hiring Baz Luhrman.

Is there an article or any piece of information on that subject?

I've found this and was wondering if they shot another sequence at Arkham. Anyone knows any other Arkham scenes that were supposed to be in the film but either were cut? As far as I know, the asylum was shown only once --well that is if you exclude the original opening sequence--in the movie.

Who's going?!

Here's an excerpt from the script:



170   EXT. GOTHAM AIRPORT - TARMAC _ NIGHT

A vintage DC-3 steams on the runway. Pilots descend the
gangway.

Pamela Isley, dressed as a grieving window, supervises the
LUGGAGE HANDLERS' debarkation of a coffin. An immense
coffin.

PAMELA
Be gentle. He's always been touchy.

HANDLER
Whatever you say, lady.

Pam watches the Handlers carry the coffin away. She turns,
walks off across the tarmac.

171   FAVOR THE BAGGAGE HANDLERS as they bear the coffin to the
terminal.

HANDLER
(imitating Pam)
He's always been touchy. Right.

172   A GIANT FIST CRASHES through the splintering lid. The
Handlers drop the coffin as a figure emerges. Bane,
wearing his full costume, his injector pack strapped to
his back.

Bane lifts a Handler, begins swinging him like a baseball
bat, sending the other Handlers flying.

173   EXT. AIRPORT - TARMAC

A LIMOUSINE sits at the edge of the runway. A lone
BUSINESSMAN approaches the waiting car. The DRIVER smiles,
opens the door. he Businessman climbs in to find...

174   INT. LIMO - NIGHT

Pam sits sprawled on the back seat, showing no small bit
of leg.

BUSINESSMAN
There must be some mistake --

PAMELA
Silly darling, there's no need to
pretend in front of the driver.

She grabs his face kisses him passionately. She lets go,
the Businessman slumps to the seat. Dead.

PAMELA
Love hurts. In my case it kills.

175   THE REARVIEW MIRROR

176   The limo driver watches on. Suddenly a hand reaches in
SNAPPING his neck, drags out his body. Bane climbs into
the driver's seat.

PAMELA
Once around the park.


I know there are scenes from the script that do not appear in the film, some of them probably were never even filmed at all, but I am pretty sure it's not the case with the above-mentioned scene. Why? If anyone has ever played the awful PSX B&R game back in those days, they might remember in the beginning during the title sequence with the red background you could hear lines by Freeze and Ivy from the movie. If you take a look at this clip, right at the beginning you can hear one of Uma's lines from that scene and that is ''LOVE HURTS. IN MY CASE IT KILLS''

I was wondering if anyone's aware of this scene?
