![]() Jim Carrey’s Edward Nygma gives us one of the only movie villains to actually challenge the World’s Greatest Detective’s skills. (Also, spoilers for The Dark Knight Rises, I guess.) But Forever uses its pair the best. It’s there, I promise you! The script is no worse than either 1989’s Batman or 1992’s Batman Returns.īatman Returns made multiple villains compulsory that trend continued all the way through the Nolan movies. ![]() But even if you remove all the campy performances, the bright day-glow scenery, and super weird CGI, you actually have a pretty solid story. I would contend this movie is the perfect melding of the dour Burton films and the ’66 aesthetic Schumacher wanted to employ. But, having watched it recently, I’d actually contend it’s a better movie than a lot of us snooty critic types might concede. This was everything to me for about a two-year span.Īnd because of that, I’ll never fully dislike it, even though it’s not the best. I was even Two-Face for Halloween that year (only because my little brother got to be the Riddler). What I really wanted to own was the score, turns out, and this is when I learned the difference. This was the first movie I ever paid for myself, my aunt and uncle there for moral support this soundtrack was the very first CD I ever owned and I listened to it nonstop. ![]() Pretty much every frame of Batman Forever is seared onto my subconscious from endless rewatches on VHS I’m pretty sure we legitimately broke that tape.
