Joel Schumacher used to be at the top of the geek culture shitlist. How do you feel about him now?
>>
He's a fucking faggot
>>
>>81472524
Forever was better than half of the marvel movies, there's nothing bad about that movie. The standards are way lower now.

B&R was complete shit.
>>
>>81472632
>The standards are way lower now.
That doesn't speak too highly of Batman v superman then.
>>
>>81472624

I mean...yeah, he literally is. But how do you feel about him in relation to Batman?
>>
>>81472524
We were better off with the Bat-nipples.
Ultimately, he got out while the getting was good - he's off directing House of Cards episodes, and we're stuck with, well, the majority of these SFX orgies.
>>
>>81472698
Being the faggot he is, he tarnished batman and robins image worse tha, anyone else had.

He gave the the batnips. I don't think we should let faggots direct
>>
>>81472719
First off you have a penis complex.

Second, Joel originally wanted to make the sequels like the Burton movies, dark and gritty but the studio forced him to make a toy commercial.
>>
>>81472712
You preferred bat-nipples?
You're the only person in existence that likes Schumers batman
>>
>>81472632
>there's nothing bad about that movie
I strongly feel that Jim Carrey's Riddler was on a different wavelength to the the rest of the movie's tone in a negative way
>>
>>81472735

Why would warner bros tell him to give batman nipples or that shit suit?

I hope WB releases the extended cut of Batman Forever one day that puts all the violence and adult stuff back in.

Michael Bay and Zack Snyder exist. Joel's films are tame by comparison.

Batman Forever shits on Batman v. Superman from great heights.

>>81472814
You have to search pretty long and far to find movies worse than any of the Transformers movies. In fact, I'm not sure there are any capeshit movies that bad. Maybe Catwoman and Fan4stic. Maybe.

He seems like a pretty cool guy. For some reason a lot of people blame B&R on him being gay instead of it just being an out and out bad movie that also featured batnipples.

Kek. It's not even better than liking Howard the Duck.

Yup, I said it. Transformers sucks worse than Howard the fucking Duck.

Oh, don't get me wrong, Howard the Duck is below shit. But that's just how low Transformers is.

Transformers is the worst big budget movie ever made. It's only eclipsed by it's somehow even shittier sequels.

I want you to look up every single movie that had a production budget of at least 100 million dollars. The four Transformers films are without question the worst of all of those films. The very bottom. I'm sorry, you just have laughably shit taste.

Of course it was. It was a funny commercial. But Bay should stick to making commercials because his movies are laughable, though not as laughable as people who actually watch them of course.

I don't hate Snyder or Bay. It's good that clowns like them exist to make fun of. If everything was quality, the world would be a more boring place. You don't think the internet got 1000 times better since BvS came out? They should hire Michael Bay to direct the next one just to watch the shitstorms.

Hack Snyder is twice as bad as Jewmacher ever was.

Nah he's still shit, & just because Snyder directed a stinker hit doesn't make Joel Fagmuncher any better.

He's tarnished the Batman brand so bad, WB is still trying to recover from his bullshit. They're still afraid to bring in Robin & even more afraid of having levity because of him. He's ruined Robin about as much as Burton ruined chances of Penguin being in a movie.
>>
>>81473613

Robin is gay. Gayer than Schumacher even.
>>
>>81473669
Robin only appeared in the Batman films that were directed by a gay man.

COINCIDENCE??

>>81473696
And the 1960s movie too, don't forget.

>>81473522
>They should hire Michael Bay to direct the next one just to watch the shitstorms.

Bay sucks but I honestly think that would be an upgrade over Snyder at this point.

I think his movies are pretty great if you can accept them as deliberately silly homages to the 1960s Batman series. I think it's pretty likely too because Schumacher is openly gay, and he was going to art school when the 1960s Batman series was on air, and the 1960s Batman series is iconic in the gay community, and Andy Warhol (who was gay, and an artist in the 60s) drew influence from it.

Or maybe they're just bad and it was an accident.
>>
I think he is pretty cool.

I don't think we should let gay people direct.

What about all the closeted gay people that contributed? Like all the gay presidents and scientists and such? Or gay actors like Tom Cruise?

Name 2.
Oh wait, you can't.

And Tom cruise isn't btw

He would have made a great Joker, though.

He made Phone Booth afterwards, solid movie.

I believe attitudes towards him have cooled over the years
>>
Just how responsible was he exactly for B&R turning out the way it did? Did he have more creative influence than he did with Forever (like Burton did with 'Returns') or was that just the product of executive meddling/toy company marketing?
>>
>>81478549
The latter. The sequence of events is:

>Batman '89 rules the world, Batmerchandise flies off the shelves everywhere. WB begs Burton to do the sequel, finally only convincing him by letting him just treat it as a Tim Burton movie and not as a Batman movie
>Batman Returns gets mixed reviews and concerned parents up in arms over its darker, edgier content (mainly sexy Selina and gross Penguin), McDonalds pulls Happy Meal toys early due to outcry, and Batman Returns merchandise shelfwarms. I've seen Catwoman Halloween costumes from 92 still unopened at Goodwill, 23 years later.
>Batman Forever is controlled for mass-appeal, from its casting to its tone to its soundtrack, but very few companies want to do merchandising tie-ins after Returns - only McDonalds, really. Forever is a huge hit, the collector's glasses from McDs are big sellers, and so suddenly...
>All the companies who missed out on that sweet Forever money pony up for the next one, resulting in a medley of corporate influences and a movie that's basically one big commercial.

Keep telling yourself that.

His biggest sin was having to follow up the Burton movies which are genuinely some of my favourite superhero movies ever.

Generally speaking, making a big budget succesor to 60s Batman wasn't a bad idea at all and I really want to see a more self aware director try the same thing.

He did plenty after B&R.

Lots of horror and thrillers. Odd how you can almost always tell when a one of those is directed by a gay man.

So far the only exception that I've encountered is Dante Tomaselli.
>>
>>81472524
I never hated him at all. I didn't really like what he did with Batman but I also don't think it matters any more.

Alright guys, riddle me this: since BvS happened to be shit, I decides prior to watch Zack the Hack shitfest to watch back all 4 Original Batmen movies
>Batman 1989
Okay, nothing special
>Batman Returns
Still the best Bat-movie ever made and damn if it isn't wonderully beautiful and romantic!
>Batman forever
Joel's first sin. Absolutely unbearable. Tommy Lee Jones is absolute trash in it, and only Jim Carrey plays magnificently (only redeaming quality). Val Killer is worse than a dead parrot trying to act and the music is defeaningly bad. WORSE movie ever.
>Batman & Robin
Wierdly not si bad, I'm impressed and weirded out by how much better B&R is compared to Batman Forever.

Does anyone feel the same?
