Joel T. Schumacher (August 29, 1939 – June 22, 2020) was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and costume designer. He was raised in New York City by his mother and suffered from substance abuse at a young age. He became a fashion designer after graduating from Parsons School of Design, but would continue suffering from substance abuse and high levels of debt until the early 1970s. He first entered film-making as a production and costume designer before gaining writing credits on Car Wash, Sparkle, and The Wiz. He received little attention for his initial theatrically released films, The Incredible Shrinking Woman and D.C. Cab, but rose to prominence after directing St. Elmo's Fire (1985), The Lost Boys (1987), and The Client (1994). Schumacher was selected to replace Tim Burton as director of the Batman franchise and oversaw Batman Foreve (1995) and Batman & Robin (1997). After the Batman franchise Schumacher directed smaller-budgeted films, including Tigerland (2000) and Phone Booth (2002). He directed The Phantom of the Opera, which was released to mixed reviews in 2004. His final directorial work was for two episodes of House of Cards (2013). 조엘 슈마허(1939년생, New York City, New York, USA) 는 감독으로, 대표작으로 하우스 오브 카드, 배트맨 포에버, 배트맨 앤 로빈이 있으며, 그 외에도 타임 투 킬, 오페라의 유령, 폴링 다운, 의뢰인, 폰 부스, 8미리, 로스트 보이, 넘버 23, 트레스패스, 유혹의 선, 배드 컴퍼니, 세인트 엘모의 열정 등 다양한 작품을 연출했다.
