The Death and Return of Jason Todd, The Second Robin

When Batman fans discuss their favorite Batman films, Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan's films are brought up. However, it's rare to see that level of admiration for the two Batman films directed by Joel Schumacher. For a long time, I've considered both of his films to be underrated.

The Backstory and Reception of Batman Forever:
