This movie exists in such a weird space, the perfect balance

I felt that Forever was the weird one. It tried to hold onto that Burton flavor but it's got that obvious Shumacher aftertaste.

Returns is Burton without a filter whereas '89 is him holding (being held) back a bit. The fact that Burton's humor comes through even without a Joker shows just how whacky Returns is. It's got penguin pall bearers for god's sake. Everything about Returns is a little too weird to seem like it take's place in the same world as '89.

When it came to ensuring the quality of our fair board, did the OP have a plan? No! He relied on a bait. A Bat-bait!

I would say Forever had more than an aftertaste, with Returns it went full Burton with the sexual humor, violence, and goth stuff...but Forever I feel like it's still way more Schumacher than Burton, but not quite as much as the sequel

Honestly it's a pretty interesting evolution these movies went through

Remember when Batman 89 turned into a Prince music video for three minutes in the middle for no reason?

Forever clearly isn't full Schumacher, though. Batman & Robin was.
