I remember when I was younger going to Blockbuster and asking them: “Can I rent Batman Forever?” They said “No, you have to bring it back in a few days.”
Also Returns got a lot of backlash for being too dark in fact McDonalds had to pull the batman returns happy meal toys because parents where complaining they shouldn't be marketing that film to children. So the studio removed Tim Burton as director and then went for this cartoony approach for this film and the next one and Keaton also wasn't fond that he wouldn't be working with Tim Burton.
He knew going in that Two-Face's coin is his biggest vulnerability, and it'd be a great way to distract him. That was probably the only thing that made sense in the whole movie.
Is there any movie where the hero does a back flip snaps the bad guys neck and saves the day. The closest I can think of is Man of Steel and that lacks the back flip.
Believe it or not, Schumacher actually wanted a dark and gritty story taking inspiration from Frank Miller stuff. Studio, on the other hand, wanted to sell toys and basically forced him to make it brighter and cartoony.
It's not mentioned here, but the best thing about this entire movie was the song "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal. The song does not even play in the film until the closing credits.
This movie had an excellent soundtrack all around, honestly. In addition to Seal, it had songs from U2, The Offspring, The Flaming Lips, Brandy, Method Man, Nick Cave, Michael Hutchence of INXS, and more. It's a shame the movie was such a turd.
What I read was "It's not mentioned here, but the best thing about this entire movie was that the song "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal does not even play in the film until the closing credits, when you can safely turn off the movie without having to listen to it." Makes infinitely more sense to me.
Watching the older Pitch Meetings i realized how much i love what you've done with the characters. Just making them completely devoid of any emotions other than psychotic joy and delight is one of the funniest elements of these videos!
The idea of a leather-clad Batman just sitting in court made me laugh even as a kid. We need film of him sitting down next to someone who’s like “huh…it’s Batman. Weird.”
"Oh man, I bet Billy Dee Williams will make an amazing Two-Face!" "What?" "Yeah, he played Harvey Dent in the previous films, didn't he?" "Oh." "Did you forget about that?" "I forgot about that." "Whoops!" "Whoopsie!"
well usually that's more due to the film being old and not a new release. I think the only time ive seen him not put a spoiler warning for a movie that's still in theaters was "Cats".
I was just about to comment that I have never been able to see this as a "bad movie" like most people do because I loved it so much as a kid that I can't see past the nostalgia lmao
Well pitch meetings are great but being part of screen rant means that they can literally put whatever nonsense without much fact checking, I'd look more into any of the stuff at the end.
Jodie Foster turned down millions of Dollars to appear in the sequel of Silence of the Lambs because it called for her character to be seduced by Hannibal Lecter. She said "Clarrise wouldn't do that". She respected the character more than the author did.
There would have to be at least two beats ~ first being the absurd idea to cram a whole season into 90 minutes. Secondly, Writer/Producer Ryans go back and forth on the pronunciation of Aang and Ahng.
I like to imagine Batman was called in as a witness for the trial. So he's just sitting there in the courthouse in full costume, and no one bothers to question it because at this point Gotham is full of nothing but crazy people.
"Of course, I never miss a live broadcast of the circus on the news" had me in tears and it's 2 am, my neighbors must be having such a great time with Ryan's antics!
I always find it funny in Batman movies that he doesn’t believe in killing people yet he does things that would kill a normal human being or he doesn’t believe in using guns yet he drives a car with a machine gun on it.
That’s the irony of the character. There’s an extremely fine line between beating a person unconscious and beating them hard enough they die on the spot or later in the hospital and Batman definitely crosses that line a lot probably without consciously realizing it
In the old school comics (pre1950s) he didn't have an issue with killing people, nor using guns. They were not his favored tool nor did he revel in killing people (except that one case with a bunch of japanese soldiers) it was just a fact of the job. But once the story started adopting more costumed villians instead of organized criminals, and with the new censorship and direction DC and the industry was going. They rewrote the character into a more zany saturday morning cartoon easy to merchandize figure. It was at this time most fans and writers just accepted as a tennant of the bat that he doesn't kill and doesn't use guns.
I'm trying to. But it is hard to imagine it and take him seriously afterwards. Some might even say I M P O S S I B L E. Like it is a P L O T B R E A K I N G issue for the franchise of the character as a whole.
@Abigail Slaughter there's a video on youtube where someone does a joke on how that drive through scene would've worked. i never saw any batman movie before the 00's though
The fact that Michael Keaton, who played Batman in the first two films and was offered 15 million to play him again. Turned it down because he didn’t care about the script or the new direction. Probably one of the smartest decisions of his career.
I love that he has a note to himself in HUGE letters for his vision for the costume for Batman that reads "Big Freakin' Nipples." I wonder if this was the actual note Joel Schumacher brought with him when he pitched the film.
“So we have a new love interest for Batman” “Her name is Chase Meridian” “Oh great.....so she’s from the comic books? When did she first appear?” “Oh no. I just made her up.” “Why? Don’t the comics contain great source material for love interests for Batman?” “Look sir, I’m gonna need you to get allll the way off my back about this.” “Ok then.”
@Isaac Thompson Same. I frequently catch myself going "yea yea yea", "wowowowow. wow." and "super easy, barely an inconvenience" at work since I started watching these. Not even upset or mad or anything, because quoting Pitch Meeting catchphrases at work is tight!
Joker (2019) with Batman Forever logic - Someone yawns during Arthur Fleck's stand up comedy performance. He goes mad and then instantly becomes The Joker.
Studio guy: So it’s gonna take a lot of storytelling and character development to explain how Arthur Fleck became the joker Pitch guy: no actually it’s gonna be super easy barely an inconvenience
This is my favourite pitch, so funny and so true, I remember how disappointed I was when I watched this in the cinema especially the ridiculous helicopter sequence and the batmobile driving up the wall, I always wondered where the riddler got his green riddler trousers from as the fortune teller machine dummy was only wearing a jacket. 🤷🏻♂️😂😂
Reeeeee why must you like everything I like? I know you are probably tired of hearing this all the time, but I think it's just crazy how you appear seemingly everywhere.
"I went to a rave recently. I can't stop thinking about it." The most perfect explanation ever for the look of Batman Forever following the Dark Gothic look of the two previous films.
I agree with you too because the director of Batman Forever, Joel Schumacher inspiration for putting nipples on the Batman suit was recently going to a museum and looking at Ancient Greek statues and said since statues have nipples, the Batman suit should also have nipples
Batman Forever still has a lot of Gothic imagery though, and the music score is way more Gothic than Danny Elfman's. It's more that the cinematography is much brighter compared to Burton's movies.
@@gaaraofthedesert6566 The screenwritter guy thought that the producer guy called him Dick as an insult, because he insults him back. So he clarifies thats the name of the caracter. But in reallity the producer just want to say it.
The one mystery that Batman Forever never answered for me... ... what kind of dirt did they have on Tommy Lee Jones to blackmail him into being in this movie?
After Keaton turned down reprising the roll of Batman, the people in charge of casting must have decided to limit what they show the other actors script wise. Seriously though, I bet what it was juicy enough that could have ended Tommy Lee Jone's career.
They said they had a sex tape of him with Pamela Anderson. Tommy Lee Jones didnt even know what a sex tape was so he agreed even though the execs thought it was Tommy Lee Jones and not Tommy Lee.
@@linkheroofhyrule9364 LOL or perhaps they were trying to hire Tommy Lee for the role? Can you picture Two-Faced scrawny & tattoo'd with a cocaine addiction? :)
Real story, not weird at all. I mean AT ALL: "Charee Godwin-Smith and her husband, Kerry Smith, always wanted to adopt another child. They just never imagined he'd be a 20-something Marine aviation operations specialist."
Kidman was gorgeous Underappreciated part of this crappy movie: Tommy Lee Jones' performance as two-face is actually more of a Cesar Romero Joker performance.
80's pitch meetings would be TIGHT! Back to the Future The Karate Kid Goonies Ghostbusters Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure Adventures in Babysitting Pretty please!🙏
Nicole Kidman is one of only two white women I think is truly beautiful in every way. Inside and outside. I sometimes think the word "ethereal" was created just to describe her. And she is just as amazing today as she was then. And WOW is she a phenomenal actress! Mad respect for her.
"See we're gonna emulate the campy look and feel of the old TVshow!" "Wow, that seems like a huge tonal shift from the first two movies. You sure that will translate well with the current marketing trends?" "I don't know!" "Okay, let's do that for two movies. I'm sure it'll be fine."
Hey Ryan, excellent pitch meeting as always. I’m doing a little time traveling by re-watching some old favorites. I just realize that at the end of your videos when you mentioned that there are a ton of other pitch meetings on the channel that you are referencing a metric ton, which is even more videos than a US ton! Very impressive!
Batman co-creator Bob Kane actually said that Kilmer was his favorite Batman actor he had seen (he didn't live to see Bale or Affleck. Or, on the other side of the scale, Clooney.)
I feel like this movie could have been really good. the casting was decent overall with Val Kilmer being a good bruce wayne, and I honestly thought Jim Carey was over the top hilarious (though mostly in an unintentional way) as the riddler. I think the writing, directing and some of the design elements (aka most of the movie) dragged it down to a point where no amount of star power could save it. Even the basic story itself wasn't bad. but the writing and directing shot this movie in the foot.
I have to admit Val Kilmer does a good job delivering those lines about Dr. Meridian’s advances. Definitely offbeat from the Tim Burton ones but I like it :)
Pitch Meeting: Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind... simply because, I would LOVE to see how Ryan tackles the background, clothing, and speech of that time period. Well... mainly the background lol!
Carrey is terrible Riddler imho. Jim Carrey basically played his over-the-top Mask role is this movie. I think the best Riddler was from Arkham Batman video games.
Eye Conqueror i see what you mean but as time and years progressed in certain aspects it became a lot worse in certain measures in short its almost like that was the message actually you want to not feel bad about someone dying well its ok you dont have to if you didnt do anything other than say some mean things or do something that then caused them to essentially end it whether it be on purpose or by a result of the circumstances based on the bullying
I've heard many people dissing this movie, and I finally decided to watch it. I gotta say... It exceeded my exceptions, I mean seriously. It was so much bad than I had imagined
Link Hero of Hyrule “So, you know, Selina goes home and stitches together a leather catsuit.” “Ohhhh, leather catsuits are tight!” “Well yeah...that’s kind of the point.” “What’s that?” “Oh sorry. I mean ‘Yes sir, they sure are.”
I always look forward to the 4 signature things in each meeting; “yeah yeah yeah!” and “barely an inconvenience” and “sir” and “that’s tight!” LMAO don’t ever stop making these videos
Don't forget the rare one, "Hey, shut up!" I agree with you. I was also watching older pitch meetings and it threw me off when he'd say, "Barely an inconvenience" at the beginning, or when he doesn't say "Actually" right before that. I always say it with him like some kind of parrot. 😅
These are hilarious, thanks for doing these and spreading giggles and insights! Please do a pitch meeting for 90s blockbusters like 'Face Off', 'Con Air', "Mrs. Doubtfire' or 'Armageddon' lol

Once someone refuses 15 million dollars to star in a movie after reading your script, you better take the hint and change the script.

I'm starting to feel like Ryan really does these Pitch Meetings so he can call himself "sir".
@Isaac Thompson Same. I frequently catch myself going "yea yea yea", "wowowowow. wow." and "super easy, barely an inconvenience" at work since I started watching these.
Not even upset or mad or anything, because quoting Pitch Meeting catchphrases at work is tight!
Super easy. Barely an inconvenience
@@Dargonhuman Wow wow wow...wow!!!
I learned Michael Keaton has a ridiculous amount of artistic integrity❤💯
Joker (2019) with Batman Forever logic - Someone yawns during Arthur Fleck's stand up comedy performance. He goes mad and then instantly becomes The Joker.
No way. That is exactly the true reason. There was someone yawning in the audience.
He tells Zazie Beetz "It's the mental illness, isn't it? Chicks dig the mental illness".
Instead they went with the super normal random groups of people beating someone for no reason
Studio guy: So it’s gonna take a lot of storytelling and character development to explain how Arthur Fleck became the joker
Pitch guy: no actually it’s gonna be super easy barely an inconvenience
And the guy was wearing a shirt with a bat on it so now he hates Batman
And just like that, my already substantial respect for Michael Keaton skyrockets.
This is my favourite pitch, so funny and so true, I remember how disappointed I was when I watched this in the cinema especially the ridiculous helicopter sequence and the batmobile driving up the wall, I always wondered where the riddler got his green riddler trousers from as the fortune teller machine dummy was only wearing a jacket. 🤷🏻♂️😂😂
Batman may be forever but Doom is Eternal.
Reeeeee why must you like everything I like? I know you are probably tired of hearing this all the time, but I think it's just crazy how you appear seemingly everywhere.
Why is this comment so underated
I noticed you are everywhere you’re like that ninja fellow
@@Nintendo_Wolf yeah this guy is everywhere every time i read the comment section i always see this guy
But Buzz Lightyear is Infinity and Beyond.
"I went to a rave recently. I can't stop thinking about it."
The most perfect explanation ever for the look of Batman Forever following the Dark Gothic look of the two previous films.
I agree, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the REAL reasoning behind the garish aesthetic and cinematography! 😂
That’s the only explanation I could accept for that change in tone 😂
I agree with you too because the director of Batman Forever, Joel Schumacher inspiration for putting nipples on the Batman suit was recently going to a museum and looking at Ancient Greek statues and said since statues have nipples, the Batman suit should also have nipples
Batman Forever still has a lot of Gothic imagery though, and the music score is way more Gothic than Danny Elfman's. It's more that the cinematography is much brighter compared to Burton's movies.
Gotham in the first two movies just looked like NYC. Gotham in Forever looks like a unique city
I love the "she REALLY wants to sleep with..." running gags. I wish they were used more frequently!
Forever was a masterpiece compared to the sequel.
Whats the sequel
Farzana Shampa Batman & Robin.
I actually enjoy both. People tried to take them too seriously.
Batman forever was one of my faves
I would rather watch Batman and Robin honestly.
You either die a hero or live long enough to OH NO IT’S BOILING ACID!
"... what's his name?"
"Dick!"
"Hey! Screw you, buddy!"
"No, no, no, no, that's his name. His name's Dick...!"
"No, I know!"
"Oh..."
Lol!!!
I gotta admit...lost my breath there
I dont get it
🤣🤣
Shady is tight!
@@gaaraofthedesert6566 The screenwritter guy thought that the producer guy called him Dick as an insult, because he insults him back. So he clarifies thats the name of the caracter. But in reallity the producer just want to say it.
5:31
I was so sure he was going to say “educational *MANSLAUGHTER* is TIGHT” 😂
The one mystery that Batman Forever never answered for me...
... what kind of dirt did they have on Tommy Lee Jones to blackmail him into being in this movie?
Hahaha
After Keaton turned down reprising the roll of Batman, the people in charge of casting must have decided to limit what they show the other actors script wise.
Seriously though, I bet what it was juicy enough that could have ended Tommy Lee Jone's career.
I heard he did it for his kids
They said they had a sex tape of him with Pamela Anderson. Tommy Lee Jones didnt even know what a sex tape was so he agreed even though the execs thought it was Tommy Lee Jones and not Tommy Lee.
@@linkheroofhyrule9364 LOL or perhaps they were trying to hire Tommy Lee for the role? Can you picture Two-Faced scrawny & tattoo'd with a cocaine addiction? :)
Adopting a man child is super easy barely and inconvenience
Grown men in their twenties are TIGHT!
@@ErwinPommel Whaaaarrt?
Real story, not weird at all. I mean AT ALL: "Charee Godwin-Smith and her husband, Kerry Smith, always wanted to adopt another child. They just never imagined he'd be a 20-something Marine aviation operations specialist."
Isn't that just called moving in, not adoption?
*an
Stop butchering quotes!
- Dick!
- Hey, screw you buddy!
- No, no, no, that's his name, his name is Dick Grayson
- No, I know.
LOL, subtle but awesome :D
Must be a Tim Drake fan.
I’m a Jason Todd and Tim Drake fan myself
This joke was sort of in the Netflix titans show
Mario Alt Maybe he’s a Tim Drake stan.
Jacob *DC Universe, not Netflix.
“And then the huge nipples did a backflip, snapped the bad guys neck and saved the day.”
Wow wow wow wow. Wow. 🤣
Cmon, man. 4 wows.
Like the 3 o's in wooosh.
Just cuz the world is burning doesn't mean we go caRAAAzy.
That’s a reference to one of ryan George’s videos
Kidman was gorgeous
Underappreciated part of this crappy movie: Tommy Lee Jones' performance as two-face is actually more of a Cesar Romero Joker performance.
TLJ and jim carey were both trying so hard to be the joker
Do a Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory pitch meeting and the remake
Luigi 4Life
Hot take: The remake is LOADS better.
@@SDfan2002
And I respectfully disagree.
Welcome to the Metaverse Why?
Jack Sparrow I think the first one has much more charm, but the Johnny Depp one is more faithful to the book.
80's pitch meetings would be TIGHT!
Back to the Future
The Karate Kid
Goonies
Ghostbusters
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
Adventures in Babysitting
Pretty please!🙏
I was watching Atlantis: the Lost Empire a few weeks ago, and I couldn't help but think that the script for the pitch meeting just kinda wrote itself.
I am so glad I found this series. It is pure gold. THANK YOU.
90s Nicole Kidman just took my breath away 30 years later
Nicole Kidman is still hot today. Also, coincidentally, she is an outstanding actor.
Nicole Kidman is one of only two white women I think is truly beautiful in every way. Inside and outside. I sometimes think the word "ethereal" was created just to describe her. And she is just as amazing today as she was then. And WOW is she a phenomenal actress! Mad respect for her.
@@patrickd8654 She's really not. She just has a great agent and publicist.
Swyx nono the one who takes your breath away is Kelly McGillis.
Nicole Kidman is like a kiss from a rose
:p
I’m so glad you’re back doing movie pitches
This one is what’s been missing from my life. ...also I love the showing us what’s on his paper joke. Soooo good
Michael Keaton turning down “Batman Forever” , because he has a soul is tight.
You mean tight? ^^
If he had a soul he would have turned down Batman Returns, the only good thing about that movie is the relationship between Batman and Catwoman.
Iwonttellmy nametoamachine: You’re absolutely right.
@@dakritic Here you also mean tight, don't you? ^^
Well ok then
"See we're gonna emulate the campy look and feel of the old TVshow!"
"Wow, that seems like a huge tonal shift from the first two movies. You sure that will translate well with the current marketing trends?"
"I don't know!"
"Okay, let's do that for two movies. I'm sure it'll be fine."
Hey Ryan, excellent pitch meeting as always. I’m doing a little time traveling by re-watching some old favorites. I just realize that at the end of your videos when you mentioned that there are a ton of other pitch meetings on the channel that you are referencing a metric ton, which is even more videos than a US ton! Very impressive!
Michael "turns down 15 million because he is a real actor" Keaton
*What is this? Pro-Wrestling?*
This not the Joe Rogan podcast
It's a Tide ad.
He turned it down because he's Batman, and that script was not about Batman.
Some weird comments here guys. Just kinda nonsensical
Pity, I thought Val Kilmer was a good Bruce Wayne and Batman. Wasted.
He was excellent bro
Batman co-creator Bob Kane actually said that Kilmer was his favorite Batman actor he had seen (he didn't live to see Bale or Affleck. Or, on the other side of the scale, Clooney.)
He definitely had the best Batman voice. He sounded almost identical to Kevin Conroy
I feel like this movie could have been really good. the casting was decent overall with Val Kilmer being a good bruce wayne, and I honestly thought Jim Carey was over the top hilarious (though mostly in an unintentional way) as the riddler. I think the writing, directing and some of the design elements (aka most of the movie) dragged it down to a point where no amount of star power could save it. Even the basic story itself wasn't bad. but the writing and directing shot this movie in the foot.
Val Kilmer got fat.
I have to admit Val Kilmer does a good job delivering those lines about Dr. Meridian’s advances. Definitely offbeat from the Tim Burton ones but I like it :)
"I went to a rave..."
The Wachoski siblings making the Matrices.
"And let me tell ya, this grown man, he does laundry like a martial arts master!"
"Oh? What the hell are ya talkin' about?"
💀
Pitch Meeting: Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind... simply because, I would LOVE to see how Ryan tackles the background, clothing, and speech of that time period.
Well... mainly the background lol!
Suggestion: "Resident Evil" movie franchise (separate or as all in one, for example: your "Game of Thrones" video vs your "GoT Season 8" video)
Method man's "the riddler" is the best thing about batman forever.
Kissed by a Rose
Carrey is terrible Riddler imho. Jim Carrey basically played his over-the-top Mask role is this movie. I think the best Riddler was from Arkham Batman video games.
5:19 reminds me of Batman begins when Batman says 'I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you"
4:02 that explains a lot
Me and me siblings used to really like Batman Forever.
My uncle was so disappointed in us. I now see why
Who else is bingeing these during quarantine??
I love those Schumacher movies. They made me love batman when i was a kid.
"Murder is not okay but if do something that leads to someone take their own life, that's okay" - Bullying was invented circa 1990's.
Wow hard meta joke nice that stings.. XD
Bullying was invented around the time life formed
Eye Conqueror i see what you mean but as time and years progressed in certain aspects it became a lot worse in certain measures in short its almost like that was the message actually you want to not feel bad about someone dying well its ok you dont have to if you didnt do anything other than say some mean things or do something that then caused them to essentially end it whether it be on purpose or by a result of the circumstances based on the bullying
"They just shoot him in the face, which knocks him unconscious."
I didn't realise Bruce Wayne was a Mount & Blade character.
I've heard many people dissing this movie, and I finally decided to watch it. I gotta say... It exceeded my exceptions, I mean seriously.
It was so much bad than I had imagined
It's really, REALLY bad. But still somehow not as bad as Batman & Robin.
@@SithCats well you gotta drive it home after that just nail it in the coffin XD
The best one is the one with Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman.
@@politereminder6284 Michelle Pfeiffer is tight!
Link Hero of Hyrule
“So, you know, Selina goes home and stitches together a leather catsuit.”
“Ohhhh, leather catsuits are tight!”
“Well yeah...that’s kind of the point.”
“What’s that?”
“Oh sorry. I mean ‘Yes sir, they sure are.”
Do pitch meetings for more nolan and tarantino movies
Do Pulp Fiction.
One of the best pitch meetings I've watched for sure
I'm so sorry you had to watch Batman Forever in order to put this together.
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Even when I was a kid I never understood why no one heard him shout "I'm Batman" in the crowd
I always look forward to the 4 signature things in each meeting; “yeah yeah yeah!” and “barely an inconvenience” and “sir” and “that’s tight!” LMAO don’t ever stop making these videos
… and forget “Wow, wow, wow….. wow” 😂
Don't forget the rare one, "Hey, shut up!"
I agree with you. I was also watching older pitch meetings and it threw me off when he'd say, "Barely an inconvenience" at the beginning, or when he doesn't say "Actually" right before that. I always say it with him like some kind of parrot. 😅
"Dick!" - "Hey, screw you, buddy!" - "Nono, that's his name." - "Oh, I know." This is one of the many reasons why I love these...
These are hilarious, thanks for doing these and spreading giggles and insights! Please do a pitch meeting for 90s blockbusters like 'Face Off', 'Con Air', "Mrs. Doubtfire' or 'Armageddon' lol
6:07 - Just one more reason Keaton is the best Batman.
When you are supposed to be supposed to do social distancing but you are the whole cast.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie pitch meeting when
I’m not even joking, your vids get me through MANY tough work days. Thank you, Sir.
Oh boy, Nicole Kidman was so pretty in that movie! 😍
