BATMAN FOREVER(1995)
Batman has a "new" partner, Robin! With Tommy Lee
Jones(Two-Face) and Jim Carrey(The Riddler) this movie
rivals the first Batman as one great movie!! It's as if they
wrote the part of The Riddler specifically for Jim Carrey,
as he pulls this role off showing his true talents in humor,
as well as playing a bad guy! Also doing very well in the
role of Robin, Chris O'Donnell is great! Not as great as
Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer non-the-less does well in his
lead role of Batman! All in all, a very good movie and a
must see for any fans of the older comics starring Batman
and Robin! A
From 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
