With Batman Forever (1995), Schumacher streamlined the narrative, removed some of the quirkier elements of Burton's vision, and delivered a straight-ahead action spectacle. Though financially successful, Batman Returns (1992) was considered a misfire it didn't open the door for sequels as readily as its 1989 predecessor, and even though Tim Burton suggested he might not mind continuing the franchise, he was granted producer's credit for the third entry, while Joel Schumacher was given the director's chair.
