Mr freeze batman and robin led light9/11/2023 ![]() There was some head scratching decisions made in the original cut that I don't know why it went into the final draft. We see the Batfamily driving to the observatory, but no encounter with any henchmen. Some cropped shots due to Bane being around at the observatory ![]() The Arkham City theme plays as they unite as a team. Felt much more like a Batman thing than the PC speech he gives. The awful dialogue between Batman and Batgirl has been restructrued so Batman says "and you are?" to which Barbara replies that it's her to which Batman then responds "I know". With their dialogue cut and removing an obvious reverse shot of Robin struggling for air, it moves much quicker. I did of course leave her revealing "this is a one woman show" for later. Batgirl crashes in and there is very little dialogue left during their fight because it was soooooooooooo bad. Their dialogue between each other has been trimmed back as it was just bad. No "ta da" music when Ivy's Venus flytrap bed is shown. Barbara, excuse me, Batgirl's new theme starts to lightly play as she discovers the batcave. Trimmed back on the bickering between Bruce and Dick as they finally bury their issues. Also, I felt that with the Bruce/Julie/Ivy scene, Julie would've broken up with him and that gave her an ending since it really doesn't go anywhere due to scenes that were either cut or not filmed with her fate. Cut Ivy getting Gordon to give her the batsignal. To help cover some of this and the reframing, I doubled up on shots of Freeze looking at her. At the Turkish bathhouse, I cropped out Bane as Ivy grabs one of her mutant plants. With Freeze outta there and Batman and Robin on a wile good chase, Ivy emerges and unplugs Nora. Batman and Robin climb down in the boiler room area and find nothing (this was where the Bane encounter happens, but it's been cut). Freeze subdues the police and gets his stuff without encountering them. They find his wife and then go after Ivy. In order to cut Bane related stuff, I cut Batman and Robin watching any video footage of the escape while at Freeze's lair. If she got herself in, she could get them out. Freeze is broken out by Ivy just by her using her methods of getting in, killing the guards with a kiss and recruiting Freeze. The movie was heavily restructured from here as we deal with Barbara's antics, Bruce and Julie and Dick trying to catch Barbara. Freeze doesn't obnoxiously laugh or say anything after he crashes. ![]() The chase scene is pretty much the same, but with some changes in the music. There was a lot of restructuring of this action sequence. He is polite to Ivy without asking what her dumb names are (Garden Gal for instance) and then takes the diamonds and leaves. Freeze DOES NOT swing onto stage, but simple gets there during the ensuing fighting. ![]() Freeze crashes the party and Batman immediately shoots the freeze gun out of his hands with a grapple hook. NO gorilla suit, NO Bat credit card, The 90's sexy music for Ivy was replaced with Ivy's themes from Goldenthal's score and from the Arkham games. Freeze watches his home movies, is feeling remorse for what he is about to do as it cut to him closing his eyes while holding the newspaper about the Wayne diamonds and then back to him watching the movies and saying it's only one more diamond. Now, Bruce mentions he cut funding due to a difference in ideologies and it comes off as that it was due to Pamela's ideologies as she then proceeds to talk about saving mother nature. The first encounter between Bruce and Pamela is cut so that there is no reference to the mad scientist. He's asked and immediately asks Julie to give him a hand. Cut out Bruce stammering after being asked about getting married. Freeze does not lead a chilling sing-a-long and isn't seen turning down his henchwoman's advances No Pamela Isley in South America and NO BANE! They still bicker, but it really only happens once Ivy comes into the picture Trimmed back all arguments between Bruce and Dick. No rocket ship getaway, air surfing heroes or flying icemen Cut goofy cartoon sound effects when Freeze throws a guard into a wall or tosses a guard ![]() Cropped out all opening credits (this was to help mask big cuts from the museum sequence) Cut the Schumacher Batman gearing up (including no butt shots) Added in a shot of the batsignal in the sky from Batman Forever Converted the whole movie to black and white There were A LOT of cuts that totaled 41 minutes. ![]()
