The extended cut is of 170 minutes duration according to the Warner Bros. It is said that the extended cut of Batman Forever is far darker than the theatrical cut that uses only 121 minutes of duration. The 121 minutes duration theatrical cut opens with depicting Two-Face Tommy Lee Jones. He breaks out of the Arkham Asylum. There is another addition to the subplot that is exploring Bruce Wayne’s psychological issues. This has included him while confronting a giant man-sized bat.
The Idea Emerged After The Demise Of The Director
