You see this brilliant, but slightly insane in the membrane, scientist go completely off the rails. Jones and Carrey’s roles as Two Face and The Riddler were my favorite parts of the film.Ĭarrey easily brought his signature over-the-top comedy into the role of Edward Nygma/The Riddler. In his defense he had big shoes to fill, so I understand it. Kilmer’s portrayal of Bruce Wayne/Batman was ok, but not nearly as good as Keaton’s. The CGI also wasn’t the worst I’ve seen in a 90s movie, but it certainly wasn’t the best.īelieve it or not, the villains are really the saving grace of this movie. To me it feels like this movie took the 1960s TV show and just made it darker. My sister even made the comment that some of the scenes in the movies, like when Dick Grayson fights some gang members, reminds her more of “Mad Max” than anything. Gotham is still dark, grungy and freaky as ever (I’ve heard many big cities are like that… but I’m a simple rural gal myself so who am I to say) with a wild cityscape.

Kilmer replaced Keaton in his role as the caped crusader after the Pittsburgh based actor said he didn’t like the direction the films were going in. Instead of giving our brains more pain than necessary (no offense to anyone who enjoys “Batman & Robin, it’s just not my favorite) we ended up going with “Batman Forever” which stars Val Kilmer.
