Also introduces Robin who becomes his partner, while Kidman is Batman/Bruce Way Amazon.com: When Tim Burton and Michael Keaton announced that they'd had enough of the Batman franchise, director Joel Schumacher stepped in (with Burton as coproducer) to make this action-packed extravaganza starring Val Kilmer as the caped crusader. Batman is up against two of Gotham City's most colorful criminals, the Riddler (a role tailor-made for funnyman Jim Carrey) and the diabolical Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones), who join forces to conquer Gotham's population with a brain-draining device. Nicole Kidman plays the seductive psychologist who wants to know what makes Batman tick. Boasting a redesigned Batmobile and plenty of new Bat hardware, Batman Forever also introduces Robin the Boy Wonder (Chris O'Donnell) whose close alliance with Batman led more than a few critics to ponder the series' homoerotic subtext. No matter how you interpret it, Schumacher's take on the Batman legacy is simultaneously amusing, lavishly epic, and prone to chronic sensory overload. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Mix of seriousness and campinessI won't review the plot, etc. Read other reviews for that information. I just want to make some observations about the movie. Batman Forever (1995) is a pretty good flick. In the two previous films which Tim Burton directed, Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992), the tone was dark, gothic and semi-campy with dark and evil villains. The suits decided they didn't want Tim Burton to direct another Batman movie after Batman Returns got criticized for being too dark and depressing for ... Read More Rating: - Is Batman Forever? Apparently Not.Despite the success of Batman Returns, Warner Bros. were taken back by the movie's dark, brooding tone and grim atmosphere and felt that its supposedly disappointing box-office revenues were the fault of director Tim Burton. So to pursue a more family-friendly direction, Warner Bros. ousted Tim Burton (although he still serves as a producer) and replaced him with Joel Schumacher, best known for directing The Lost Boys, Falling Down and The Client. Virtually everyone who worked for Burton like composer ...

The opening scene plays like a commercial for a rubberwear shop, and throughout the movie, the dominant images are of fetishistic gear: The belt buckles, boots, gloves, capes, masks, and of course, the cute little dime-sized nipples on Batman's and Robin's chests. When Batman tries on his new prototype costume late in the movie, and there's a closeup of its gleaming buttocks, the audience chuckles knowingly. ... Read More Rating: - '60s BATMAN Re-interpreted for the '90sA lot of Bat-fans give this movie flack for being a throw-back to the campy Adam West TV show, but a movie shouldn't be judged for what it isn't, but how well it achieves what it is trying to do. And this one delivers. First thing noticed is the fast-paced directing, with quick, action-oriented editing that reminds one of the early Bond films. The action is relentless, and the movie is never boring. It reminds me of Guy Hamilton's short-cut plot developments in "Force 10 from Navarone".

I think Jim Carey makes a good Riddeler. Batman Forever (Two-Disc Special Edition) Buy superhero comic book collectibles at the Superhero Mall! |
