“A journeyman director who shepherded a new generation of young stars to the big screen in St. Elmo’s Fire and steered the Batman franchise into its most baroque territory in Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, … he established himself as a filmmaker of great flair, if not often good reviews, in a string of mainstream films in the 1980s and ’90s. To the frequent frustration of critics but the delight of audiences, Mr. Schumacher favored entertainment over tastefulness — including those infamous Batman and Robin suits with visible nipples — and he did so proudly.” – The Washington Post
