Joel Schumacher in 2003

Joel T. Schumacher (August 29, 1939 – June 22, 2020) was a prolific director (and sometimes screenwriter), responsible for a long list of films, which surprisingly, features only one movie titled Batman and Robin. In fact, here are some things he did that were not Batman and Robin:

• The Lost Boys
• St. Elmo's Fire
• Falling Down
• Flatliners
• 8mm
• The Client
• Batman Forever
• A Time to Kill
• Phone Booth
• Veronica Guerin
• The Phantom of the Opera
• The Number 23
• The Wiz (screenplay only)
• Twelve
• D.C. Cab

We're not saying that all his non Batman and Robin films were good - we just don't care for the Never Live It Down he got. It's also worth mentioning that because of his passion for Batman and Robin, and judging by how apologetic he was on the DVD commentary, the main faults of the film could most likely be blamed on Executive Meddling.
