Batman Forever

Buy This Item Batman Forever  Available from Amazon  $9.00  on 11-29-2008     When Tim Burton and Michael Keaton announced that they'd had enough of the <i>Batman</i> 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, <i>Batman Forever</i> 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 <i>Batman</i> legacy is simultaneously amusing, lavishly epic, and prone to chronic sensory overload. <i>--Jeff Shannon</i> Reader Reviews I definitely am proud that all the Batman movies are out on new deluxe editions. But I am most proud that Batman Forever is, because it has always been my favorite one out of all of them. This is where it stopped with the scary stuff and went to the fun and exciting shift. Nicole Kidman was an excellent addition to the cast as Dr. Chase Meridian., who was Bruce Wayne/Batman's love interest and worked with the police on Two-Face (all though they only have her doing that for a few minutes. She was mainly used as a love interest). Look for cameos by Drew Barrymore and Jon Favreau. My preference order of the Batman movies goes as follows: 1. Batman Forever 10/10 2. Batman Returns 9/10 3. Batman 8/10. Batman and Robin 7/10. Batman Begins 5/10. I haven't seen The Dark Knight yet, so I don't know what to rate it. I hope it's good.
