Why Tim Burton Hated Batman Forever's Title

Batman Forever was the beginning of the end of the Batman franchise in the 1990s, and Tim Burton was one of its biggest critics, particularly with regard to the movie's title. Helmed by Joel Schumacher, the 1995 comic book adaptation follows Batman as he takes on two of the most iconic villains in his rogues' gallery, The Riddler and Two-Face , and it's overall more colorful and child-friendly than the previous Batman movies, which Burton directed.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While Batman Forever was a huge box office success, grossing $336 million worldwide , the movie couldn't get the Robin character right, and the much lighter tone was heavily criticized as well. That resulted in a poorly received Batman movie with a "rotten" 39% score on Rotten Tomatoes, even if it was commercial. The movie had a strikingly different tone from its much darker and weirder predecessor, Batman Returns.

Burton Also Hated The Batsuit Nipples The movie's title isn't the only thing about Batman Forever that Tim Burton hated. A common talking point about Joel Schumacher's Batman movies is the "Batnipples," which can be found on the Bat-suits. Burton questioned why Warner Bros. doubted his weirdness only to put nipples on the outfits . The director noted, "I was like, ‘Wait a minute. Okay. Hold on a second here.

Why Burton Didn't Direct Batman Forever Tim Burton's lack of involvement with Batman Forever was due to the poor reception of Batman Returns — not just from audiences but from fast food companies, too. Batman Returns was considered too weird, which raised concerns from parents, and McDonald's was worried about putting the vulgar, nose-biting penguin into Happy Meals . Warner Bros. wasn't happy with how much Burton spent on Batman Returns either .
