...When it came time to do Forever, how come they didn't get Williams to play the role of Two-Face?
I think Williams is a considerably better version of Dent. Tommy Lee Jones played the character like a silly comic book character - which to me, Batman had moved away from (to an extent). Batman still had comic book touches alright, but it felt more reality-based. Which is saying something, considering it's a Tim Burton film.
I've always just assumed that since they had moved so far away from the 89 version at that point, they felt no need to worry about any sort of continuity. Which is just as well anyway. The Schumacher films are throw-aways. It would have been a wasted performance.
For the record; For me, Batman Returns was a one & done. To me, that's the film where Burton became the film maker he is today; Over-the-top-weirdness in place of interest. Style over substance. Needless to say, other than Pee Wee's Big Adventure & Batman - I'm not a fan of his work at all.
