The Schumacher Bats flicks are fascinating for being these cheeky camp romps the openly gay director is having a lot of with and his casts absolutely refusing to hint there might be anything fruity about this at all. With exceptions like Carrey and Kidman in Forever and Thurman in Batman & Robin.

Yeah our civilization was NOT ready for a campy swishy Batman, partially because of homophobia and partially because of the massive push to make kids stuff very serious and important and for adults. Poor Schumacher.

Batman Forever had an explicit closet metaphor as a main plot point, will always defend it for that
