(THIS EDIT IS ABANDONED, SORRY)

Introduction

Having watched That Guy Who Edit’s Batman Forever: The Tim Burton Cut, I came to decide that I could improve upon it, at least for my own viewing.

And so I must say, that this edit, is just as much TGWE’s edit as it is my own, for I used his edit as a source to make my own, switching between the theatrical release audio and that of the Tim Burton cut.

Many of the cuts in this edit will be identical to that of the TB cut.

But, alas, I do feel that I could consider this my edit, and so, with that said, I shall move on to the changes.

Changelist:

scene by scene colour correction, often matching Bruce’s emotions or the scene’s tone, hopefully making the film more visually appealing, dark, more emotive
added the classic Warner Bros. opening, minus the piano
cold open to Edward’s introduction
suit up in the style of the TB cut, followed by the drive out the bat cave and into Gotham, using footage from Batman driving to the signal to meet Chase in the theatrical release
cut to Two-Face’ coin mid air, skipping the establishing shots of the bank
removed Two-Face’ laughs, ‘are you a gambling man?’, ‘blind, simple, stupid, doo da. clueless luck’
cut from ‘another day of wine and roses’ so Two-Face actually keeps his word
cut directly to Batman’s line ‘Two-Face?’, so no bad CGI Batman rappelling down to Chase and Gordon
removed almost every instance of Chase showing attraction to Batman throughout the film
limited Two-Face campy moments in the elevator fight
removed Batman defeating two of the thugs as I felt the BatElectrocuter thing was just silly, now they just fall unconscious when Batman kicks them, as you’d expect
loosely followed TGWE’s helicopter fight cuts
followed the TB Cut of the Stickley’s death, Stickley’s suicide, and the riddles scenes
lowered saturation and brightness mid shot as Bruce hears Chase’s grunting and impact noises, signifying Batman coming out, with him leaving as he realizes his mistake
cut Bruce’s ‘I have an appointment, I’m Bruce Wayne’ line so he makes a quick quip and apologizes without introducing himself, like Chase wouldn’t know who he was
removed Gossip Gerty from the circus scene
removed Bruce and Chase’s conversation at the circus so as to remove the attraction to Batman
added the Batman’s colour correction when Two-Face reveals himself, he know he has to do something
removed Edward’s ridiculous forced laugh when Harvey screams ‘dead’
removed ‘… pasty faced twits…’ now the line is ‘odds are one of yous is Batman’
‘Harvey I’m Batman!’ shortened to ‘Harvey!’
removed Two-Face’ cackling
removed ‘Our lucky day!’
removed Two-Face’ cackling as he exits
removed Dick’s most condescending lines and moments, hopefully making him more sympathetic, and less painful to watch
Bruce doesn’t get called during the dream scene
followed TGWE’s cut of the Two-Face lair scene
moved the car chase to after the two baddies team up, Two-Face chases Batman to distract him from the Riddler, who’s busy robbing places
refined the car chase segment
added an easter egg to the end of the car chase
the training scene through to Dick finding the Bat cave kept the same as in the Burton Cut
mix of Burton cut and theatrical release for the Chase and Bruce scene
skip from Alfred calling Bruce to the Dick and Bruce scene
Dick and Bruce scene the same as in the Burton cut
Burton Cut Ritz Gotham scene until Two-Face arrives, where the audio reverts to the theatrical cut due to missing sfx and a superior score
light flashes added after Two-Face shoots the light display, used to join cuts and spice up the fight, like the camera flash in Batman 1989
made the height from the window to the subway area shorter
lengthened the pause between the gravel falling and Dick grabbing Bruce’s hand
removed the ‘Batboy, Nightwing?’ line
Burton cut style ‘Who am I’ scene
removed the Chase’s apartment scene
refined the ‘Bats on the Brain’ scene
the last Riddle scene placed after the ‘Bats on the Brain’ scene
‘Batman is No More’ placed here in its entirety
refined the ‘Bruce’s Memories’ and ‘Invasion of Wayne Manner’ scenes
less of the Riddler’s Ace Ventura impression, it ruins the wait of the scene
Two-Face only flips his coin twice, the first he doesn’t check, the second is the one he wanted
followed the Burton cut till the end of the Red Book deleted scene, where I cut the ‘I’m Batman, Alfred’ moment
original score used for the end of the third act, with the original Batman theme being used as the Batman and Robin theme, though the Elfman theme is used for just Batman
Riddler and Two-Face DON"T PLAY FUCKING BATTLESHIP!
Robin isn’t a dullard, rushing ahead of Batman, instead, the island raises right under him
fewer silly Two-Face moments during the climax
removed ‘Bummer’
removed the Batman dive sound effect
Burton Cut audio used for the ‘Why can’t I kill you’ moment
Elfman theme Reprise replaces the Goldenthaal theme reprise
Credits slowed, with the ‘Batman Them Reprise’, ‘Descent into Mystery’, and ‘Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me’ to score it
Blue Bat symbol turned grey
