While the film could be seen to follow in Burton’s template, at least as far as giving the villains of the piece more time than the hero, in this screenplay the focus was on comic-booky flair and pizazz rather than realism and darkness. Val Kilmer signed on, and Batman Forever is the result. Looking to capitalize on Batman’s resurgent popularity, and make a film aimed more at kids than at adults (bad move, in hindsight), the studio hired Joel Schumacher to direct the third film in the ongoing franchise, while Michael Keaton declined to reappear because he didn’t like the direction the series was heading. Listen to Seal’s “Kiss From A Rose” from the Batman Forever OST in the media player below:Ī change was in the air at Warner Bros in the aftermath of Tim Burton’s hugely successful Batman Returns, the sequel to 1989’s Batman and one of the highest grossing sequels of that year. Seal’s famous soundtrack song seals the deal.
What we think : While it stumbles through its vapid, half-cooked “hero” storyline, the villains steal the show outright in this blast of visual Bat-porn that eschews subtlety for ballsy, all-out sensory overload. Synopsis: Batman fights against the cruel Two Face, and the sneaky Riddler, whilst romancing a psychologist and rescuing a young teen from a tragic fate. Principal Cast : Val Kilmer, Jim Carrey, Tommy Lee Jones, Nicole Kidman, Pat Hingle, Michael Gough, Drew Barrymore, Debi Mazar, Elizabeth Sanders, Rene Auberjonois, Ed Begley Jr, Don “The Dragon” Wilson.
