====Deleted scenes====
''Batman Forever'' went through a few major edits before its release. Originally darker than the final product, the film's original length was closer to two hours and forty minutes, according to Schumacher. There was talk of an extended cut being released to DVD for the film's tenth anniversary in 2005. While all four previous ''Batman'' films were given special-edition DVD releases on the same day as the ''[[Batman Begins]]'' DVD release, none of them were given extended cuts, although some scenes were in a deleted scenes section in the special features.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.batman-on-film.com/opinion_scissorpuppy_forever.html | title = Batman Forever – What Could Be: A Guide to the Batman Forever Cutting Room Floor | work = Batman-On-Film.com | access-date = December 18, 2008 | url-status=live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130702174008/http://www.batman-on-film.com/opinion_scissorpuppy_forever.html | archive-date = July 2, 2013}}</ref><ref name="HomeMediaIGNAnthologyDVD">{{cite web|first=Todd |last=Gilchrist |title=''Batman'' DVD Anthology Due |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2005/08/01/batman-dvd-anthology-due |website=[[IGN]] |date=August 1, 2005 |access-date=July 11, 2022 |archive-date=July 10, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220710212002/https://www.ign.com/articles/2005/08/01/batman-dvd-anthology-due |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Jacobs |first=Evan |date=2005-08-17 |title=Warner Home Video to release Batman Begins on Oct. 18th |url=https://movieweb.com/warner-home-video-to-release-batman-begins-on-oct-18th/ |access-date=2023-04-22 |website=[[MovieWeb]]}}</ref>
