Tommy got a bit of a payday because he'd just won the Oscar for The Fugitive and Jim Carrey had already done Ace Ventura." I'm sure that Batman Forever was the cheapest Batman movie ever made because Val didn't get a lot of money, Nicole (Kidman) didn't, Chris O'Donnell didn't, and I didn't. I learned that sequels are only made for one reason.

"You know what I think? I shouldn't have made a sequel, and that's all there is to it. Regardless, Schumacher regrets his decision now for reasons that you might not expect. The movie still isn't looked upon in a positive light, even over twenty years after it hit theaters. When it comes down to it, Joel Schumacher learned an important lesson when making Batman & Robin. Nor do I ever think Batman and Robin are gay." With that being said, Schumacher does say, "There were a lot of people who I would say, in one particular community, wanted George Clooney to be gay so badly." That's completely different from what people have accused Schumacher of doing to the movie.

When asked directly about throwing some secret messages into Batman & Robin, Joel Schumacher says, "No. There's always been this thing about Batman and Robin being gay." And Batman and Robin are two homosexual men living in a cave, living together. Snow White was all about having bad stepmothers. Long before I came along, someone wrote a whole thing about what the real message of fairy tales and children's stories are.
