The third installment in the "Batman" series. Here the Caped Crusader must once again contend with two strange-looking, personality-impaired villains. First, there's maniacal ex-DA Harvey Two-Face, so named because half his countenance has been horribly disfigured by acid. Then there's the wise-cracking, hyperactive Riddler, whose alter-ego Edward Nygma is a nerdy, highly disgruntled ex-employee of Bruce Wayne. Together, these two masterminds plan to conquer the world with a device that not only mesmerizes users with 3-D television images, but also transports the viewer's thoughts into the Riddler's mind.
Batman also has to contend with two other new people in his life. One is lovely psychiatrist Chase Meridian, who has fallen in love with Batman AND Bruce Wayne. Then there's Dick Grayson, a young, orphaned acrobat who desperately wants to become Batman's crime-fighting sidekick in order to get revenge on the man responsible for his parents' death: Harvey Two-Face.
Gotham City is once again under siege, this time by the mind-controlling Riddler and the diabolical Harvey Two-Face. The Caped Crusader cleans up with the help of his new side-kick Robin in this effects-laden thrill ride.
"Batman Forever" opened in the USA June 16, 1995. The film grossed a total of $184 million domestically.
Jim Carrey replaced Robin Williams in the role of The Riddler.
Color by Technicolor.
Rated BBFC PG by the British Board of Film Classification.
Batman Forever Reviews:
"...True to its unbridled comic spirit....[Carrey makes] uproarious and artful displays of physical comedy..."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"...Val Kilmer nicely recharges the sexual batteries of both the brash Bat guy and billionaire alter-ego Bruce Wayne..." -- 3 1/2 out of 4 stars
-- Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today
"...A loony-tunes extravaganza....What a pleasure it is to watch Carrey take over the movie!..." -- Rating: B
-- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
"An enormous fun-house ride....The film boasts considerable action and visual splendor....Kidman looks terrific..."
-- Brian Lowry, Variety
"...With steely eyes, inflectionless speech and a Zen-like cam, Kilmer is adept at both the heroic and the humorous aspects of his conflicted personality..."
-- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Forever Great The Cast is brillant its funny not as good as the first but still a favourite to me. Submitted by broncos_to_win (Goulburn NSW Australia) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.
Not that hot Batman Forever barely manages to please.Good special effects and a likable performance of the Riddler played by Jim Carrey can't cover up the film's flaws.The action is sort of dull and most of the cast can't live up to expectations.

a new look After seeing batman returns in '92 I was looking forward to seeing which way they would go with the next film. I was shocked that keaton left but pleased that kilmer was going to fill his shoes. And after hearing that robin "played by cris o'donnell " was going to be in the mix the summer of 1995 was not getting here fast enough. I was also hyped that jim carrey was going to be the riddler and two face was going to be done by tommy lee jones. After I saw the movie trailers I pretty much knew that i was going to like this batman maybe even better. when i finally saw the movie i liked the way they got you into it from the beginning. It flowed better than the first two and it was on target. "or so i thought until 2005's batman begins". joel shumachers take was excellent i thought. myself i liked the neon colors and built in comedy but the movie was serious too. A movie should take you away and have fun joel did this and not every batman fan was pleased but i was. At the time batman forever was one of my favorite superhero movies and still is in a way. So if you like batman anyway and can be open minded and except every incarnation of the winged one you'll go with this new look and say to yourself it's only a movie and eat another handful of popcorn.
