Cards: Playing Cards - Part 1

A great set of playing cards here with some very nice illustrations (not sure who did these but they were definitely used for other promotional merchandise). I particularly like the Batmobile Pit Crew patch. Who exactly wore that - Alfred?

External link: Batman Forever novelist Peter David on the Batman Forever movie

For those that have read the novelisation of Batman Forever by Peter David. Here's a link to his own website where he reviews the film.

And here's another post where he talks candidly about the Batman Forever script he had to adapt. Describing it as having "plot holes you could drive a Nazi truck through"!

Behind the Scenes: Production Pages

Here's a selection of production pages for Batman Forever. Note the movie is codenamed "Blinko".

Also there appears to be scenes set in a Claw Island Assembly Line where robot arms manufacture "the box". It seems there was definitely some shots on Claw Island deleted from the finished film.

Video Advertisements: OnStar

Technically, this has nothing to do Batman Forever but I thought I'd post it anyway.

Between 2000-2002 OnStar released six adverts featuring Bruce Thomas as Batman. The look and feel is somewhere in between the Burton movies and the Schumacher movies.

The sixth and final advert featured Brian Stepanek as The Riddler doing a fairly decent Jim Carrey impression.
