Joel Schumacher is a gay American film director, writer & producer. Many of his films have been stylish, on budget & slick Hollywood fare. Schumacher was born in New York City & studied at the Parsons School of Design. First working in the fashion industry, he began his media work as a costume designer & developed his skills with television work. He wrote the screenplay for the low-budget hit Car Wash & a number of other minor successes. He also wrote The Wiz. His film directorial debut was The Incredible Shrinking Woman, starring Lily Tomlin & he quickly made more successful films, include three brat pack works. Working solidly & building his reputation he had his first large budget feature when he took over from Tim Burton on the Batman franchise - Forever was a major summer success but Batman & Robin was a commercial disappointment, the proposed fifth movie in the series was stalled & Schumacher returned to less ambitious projects. Schumachers Batman & Robin offered a campy description of Batman, which many fans saw as a mockery to the Batman Legend.
