Batman must battle Two-Face and The Riddler with help of an amourous psychologist and a young circus acrobat who becomes his sidekick, Robin.
Losing Tim Burton as a director, but gaining Joel Schumacher (Flatliners, Batman and Robin, 8MM, Phone Booth) moved the direction of the movie from steampunk dark towards one that’s a bit more colorful.
With Val Kilmer as a new Bruce Wayne (one of the best ever), joined by Tommy Lee Jones in his prime as the maniac Two-Face and Jim Carrey being Jim Carrey as E. Nygma/The Riddler, the cast is very solid, including Batman’s love interest played by Nicole Kidman and Robin played by Chris O’Donnell, and they all add together for a pretty good movie.
It’s not as serious and gritty as the previous ones, but it’s still decent and packs a good punch. Five popcorns and reaches the Movie Vault thanks to Val Kilmer.
Oh, and it’s got Drew Barrymore in a small role.
