On July 2, 2020, ten days after the death of film director Joel Schumacher, writer Marc Bernardin tweeted "I have it on VERY good authority that a 170-minute cut of Joel Schumacher's Batman Forever exists. Warner Bros. is unsure if there's any hunger for what was described to me as a "much darker, more serious" version. So, should WB #ReleaseThe20000Cut?"[1] Implying that a longer version of the 1995 superhero Batman Forever (a superhero Joel Schumacher directed) may exist. But it has not been confirmed until Variety reported that a source close to the movie confirmed the film's existence and that the extended cut was way darker than the cut that was released in 1995 (which was 129 minutes)[2]. Then on July 9, 2020, Warner Bros, the production company that produces the film, confirm the extended cut's existence and also confirmed that the extended version is darker than the one that was released in 1995 but also say that they have no plans to release it.[3]
