Tributes And Sharing
Below are tributes and condolence messages from the beloved friends and loved ones of the deceased.
I was obsessed with Jim Carrey and Batman when I was a kid, so I was desperate to watch BATMAN FOREVER. My parents didn’t want me watching PG-13 movies so I had to see it at my cousin’s house. I loved the movie, but I later got in trouble for watching it. RIP Joel Schumacher.

Joel Schumacher was probably the greatest pop filmmaker ever. So many of those movies shouldn’t work and man did they ever. He could just mainline movie moments into culture. RIP.

Also, RIP Joel Schumacher. Thank you for your wonderfully weird Batman movies. And a long, illustrious filmography that was hit-or-miss but never boring.

RIP Joel Schumacher, your movies gave us so much, especially the truly bizarre way Patrick Stewart delivers the line “of chocolates?” in Phantom of the Opera, which I haven’t stopped thinking about since 7th grade

I write about my time with Joel Schumacher he cast me to dance in the WIZ I also wanted to meet James Coburn when he worked on The Last of Sheila in the South of France and yes I did fly to the South of France to the set where I met Raquel Welch to RIP Joel. You did the work.

RIP Joel Schumacher. For me, it would be him penning the screenplays for two vitally important black-centric film musicals THE WIZ and SPARKLE and for the script of the comedy CAR WASH that I’d respect him most for. As well as elements of THE LOST BOYS which he of course directed pic.twitter.com/O5tEwF8wQK

.@DinksThinks and I have always considered Batman Forever to be the greatest Batman of all time, and unironically so. Genuinely saddened by its visionary director Joel Schumacher’s passing, a man who did not deserve the disrespect he got for it. RIP.

R.I.P. Joel Schumacher. His Hollywood career started as a costume designer before he was a director, most known for two Batman films, but also launched the careers of Matthew McConaughey, Colin Farrell, and more. He was 80. pic.twitter.com/OwyKDSdnbq

I met Joel Schumacher @londonswf. Well, we all met him. He came in to do a talk and then kind of just hung out with all of us writers for the rest of the festival. You could chat to him in the coffee queue or at the book stands. He was a generous, hippy spirit. RIP. ❤️

Joel Schumacher’s neon drenched cyber punk aesthetic for Gotham was so over the top & extravagant. It breaks my heart to hear about his passing today.
He was such a brave & eclectic filmmaker who made an unforgettable mark on the legacy of Batman in popular culture.

Schumacher’s Batman films were an essential part of me being a Batman fan. As essential as Burton’s films, the Animated Series, and Nolan’s films. They’ll always hold a special place in my heart. RIP Joel Schumacher

RIP Joel Schumacher. He was known for directing film such as Batman Forever, Phone Booth, and Tigerland, among others. He also gave actors like Colin Farrell and Mathew McConaughy their big breaks. He will be missed.

Joel Schumacher created the finest Grisham adaptations, was the joint Gothic king alongside Burton, made a Vietnam War-training film superior to Full Metal Jacket & crafted a sublime thriller with Phone Booth. He so inspired me I named a character after him. RIP.

JOEL SCHUMACHER was far smarter than the movies he made, and his life story–costume designer for ‘Play it as it Lays,’ making blaxploitation-lite movies like Car Wash with Richard Pryor–is far more thrilling than his thrillers. Seen here on the set of DC Cab with MR. T. RIP.

I think I’m one of the luckiest people that ever lived. I got my dream. … You know, I’m just a kid whose parents died very young who was on his own and grew up behind a movie theater before TV, and I wanted to tell those stories, and look what happened.

Joel Schumacher directed many famous movies that we were impressed with. Both the Batman2 and the other movie series, Phone Booth (2002), have a movie called Colin Farrell, which has to be trapped in a phone booth, almost the entire story, to talk to the other end that threatens to hang up the telephone. movie receiver, very much pressure
Today I heard bad news. I’m sorry for leaving.
Joel Schumacherกำกับหนังดังหลายเรื่องที่เราประทับใจ ทั้งBatman2ภาค อีกเรื่องก็ Phone Booth (2002)หนังแจ้งเกิดColin Farrell ในบทต้องติดอยู่ในตู้โทรศัพท์เกือบทั้งเรื่องเพื่อคุยกับปลายสายที่ข่มขู่ไม่ให้วางหู?หนังกดดันลุ้นมาก

Even if I pass here for a kind of film buff, I must confess that many of Joel Schumacher’s films are guilty pleasures for me. One of the first directors whose work I apprehended. Chute Libre, A Time to kill and Batman of course.
Même si je passe ici pour une sorte de cinéphile, je dois confesser que beaucoup de films de Joel Schumacher sont des plaisirs coupables pour moi. Un des premiers réalisateurs dont j’ai appréhendé l’œuvre. Chute Libre, A Time to kill et Batman bien évidemment. RIP.

Joel Schumacher left us a very particular vision of Batman that undoubtedly would not go unnoticed. His taste for excess was evident and for many unconvincing, but his legacy in the Murcielago film saga will remain forever. RIP Joel.

Joel Schumacher has one of the most interesting catalogues of any director: 80’s genre staples, ostentatious cartoony studio fare, gritty blips, dysfunctional dips, and little gems like Tigerland. He even did Phantom. He was also courageous and openly out for most of his career.

Joel Schumacher may have given us batsuits with nipples, but he also gave us The Lost Boys. It was one of my favourite movies growing up, and I’ve been a fan of secondary incisor fangs ever since. So blame Warner Bros for killing the Batmovies, and RIP Joel.
