  Gotta love the irony in Tommy Lee Jones hating Jim Carrey for his &quot;Tomfoolery&quot; and then becoming one of the worst parts of the film by trying to outshine him.

  My honest opinion, Val Kilmer’s Batman Bruce Wayne, is an emotional, sad, passionate, and strong, like I feel his sadness and hurt, and uses this pain to make the passion to become the strong, and confident Batman. <br><br>I like this Video’s take.<br><br>George Clooney’s Batman is….<br><br>George Clooney imitating Adam West…. if the 90’s era Batman was more like the 60’s era Batman, the more cheesy moments, not the cool ones.<br><br>I feel Mike Keaton is somewhere in the middle of Val &amp; George.

  You know Alex is telling the absolute truth when he puts the masterpiece Scooby Doo 2- Monsters Unleashed as his third favorite film when he was little.

  &quot;It was very violent, it was a total attack against kids&quot;<br>That&apos;s not even close to how 10 year olds actually think

  I don&apos;t rmb who said this, but it was pointed out that if you look at all 4 of the 90s Batman films together, they actually form a complete character arc for Bruce (in spite of how different the Burton and Schumacher films are tonally)<br><br>In Batman 89 Bruce is a socially inept weirdo who has basically nothing going for him in his life besides being Batman, a quest for vengeance so obsessive that this Batman never has a no-kill rule. At the end if the movie he kills Joker,the one responsible for him becoming Batman in the first place, but he still can&apos;t let go of his desire to go after every criminal out there<br><br>In Batman Returns Bruce is basically at his lowest point ever, going out as Batman every day and killing every criminal he comes across. But then he meets Penguin and Catwoman, move people who like him, felt a need to right the wrongs of society and take revenge on those responsible. He sees something of himself in both of them, especially Selina. And here Bruce sees how both of these people were completely consumed by this and became total monsters, and seemingly lost themselves as a result. Hence Bruce desides off-screen between Returns and Forver that he will no longer kill, and that he will make an effort to let more people into his life.<br><br>This is why Batman is so insistent on the no-kill rule in Forever: because this Batman, unlike others, knows from first-hand experience how killing will inevitably lead one down a dark path. And this is also why in Forever and Batman and Robin, Bruce becomes more sociable and even lets Robin and Batgirl into his family. He went from a reclusive loner in 89, to someone who was willing to be better.<br><br>Mind you this is probably unintentional, but i find that it fits neatly regardless.

  Those kids sound like they’re just repeating stuff they were told to say.

  Val Kilmer is so underrated as Batman. His Batman gets overshadowed by the hate this film gets.
