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: - A question has been nagging at me ever since the first Batman movie, and "Batman Forever" makes it inescapable: Would Bruce...Wayne continue his keen interest in crime fighting if he didn't get to wear the Batman costume? 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. ...

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. Rating: - Kilmer RocksSome have called me the number one Batman fan in the world since I used to publish a Batman "fanzine" back in the 70's and 80's. I was a fan long before the Batcraze of even the Adam West era. Of all the Batman movies produced so far, this one more clearly defines the persona of the Caped Crusader, save the movie serials from the 1940's. And while it does deviate from the history of the character, it does present itself as being able to stand upon it's own merits. Needless to say, I am not too happy with ... Read More Rating: - Look at it for what it isBatman Forever. The first Batman movie that was not directed by Tim Burton, and did not feature Michael Keaton in the lead role. Because of this, the tone of the movie is very different. It is noticeably less dark than either of the two Burton films. Batman Returns got a lot of parental backlash because it scared the crud out of many younger kids. With this movie, Joel Schumacher tried to make a Batman movie that the kids could enjoy, while still appealing to adults. The result is kind of a go-between between ...
