when i was a kid i have one of those huge wall paper batman series id "borrow" from my brother and then put it beside David Bowie and Bono. Then id go... okai, Bowie in morning Bono at noon and Batty at night. XD
Don't know about anyone else but Forever was/is the most underrated Batman movie ever released. B&R just made me realize why the fans hate Joel Schumacher though.

Back in '95, Batman Forever was amazing. But looking back on it, it fails in comparison to Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Still, this song brings back good memories though.
your not thinking back that far... those movies werent even thought of than, so why compare them to them now ;) Batman Forever was amazing in 95.... but failed in comparison to Batman & Batman Returns, though it is a good movie, it was much more family friendly, and I never cared for the addition of Robin either..
funny that line got cut from all the current dvd of batman forever, i had the orignal vhs version and it was in it i thought it was so cool back in the day but i was a lame 15 year old geek.
you don't know how you took it, you just know what you got... oh lordy, you've been stealing from thieves and you got caught, in the headlights of a stretch-car, you're a star...
Haha, 14 year olds CAN get turned on, and they DO. But, stop acting so surprised about it, man. Teenagers are horny....that's the way it is. You cannot change it.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid some great U2 tunes will never make it back on stage. I would love to hear this one played live again too. We might have to settle for the version they did for PopMart.
it does kick serious ass but for some reason they don't play it and the film never got the credit it deserved. val kilmer was a good batman and the plot was good to BF, unlike the latest film.
dk was too moralistic in a flimsy way. can a post 9/11 joker actually escape from a police cell in the manner he had? you could argue poetic license but then BB worked because they grounded batman in reality (what could work and what blantantly doesn't) where DK was trying to adhere to the same formula but found itself in fantasyland every now and then.
Sorry but Batman Forever sucks & is one of the worst movies ever made. Even Bale did a better job acting as Bruce Wayne/Batman than what Val Kilmer did!!
you are 14 but you know the guy is moaning:) so i bet for your age you know further then moan... corect me if im wrong even if you are 14:) you even know word sexy O.o
Im not sure about batman forever being a great movie since batman begins and the dark knight, but this is a great inventive video, they dont do movie tie in music vids this good anymore, remember guns n roses did terminator 2? good times!
Never even heard of this book before, at about 350 when Bono get's hit by a car, he's reading "The Screwtape Letters" by CS Lewis... Never thought a music video would inspire me to buy a book so quickly!
I wouldn't scorn the movie so much... I mean, it surely had all the mentioned bat-nipples, gadgets and a lot of colorful interiors and exteriors, making a cheesy schtick out of it, but on the other side, Val played a very decent Batman (unlike Clooney or even Strepsils-talk Bale), Carrey portrayed The Riddler perfectly just as T. L. Jones did , I mean, all in all, the movie was a nice change to Burton's darkness. And besides, never had a movie a cooler title song than U2's Hold Me, Thrill Me...
I heard this where the killers get their name from because if your into U2 and/or The Killers than you want to kill Bono at least on time in your life for not quite your favorite band called Mime Marcel Marco Maravello is a good name Alan Moore know one will think your Tom Riddles father now...
I love this video... diving into the whole alterego good/bad self thing... maybe i'm reading too far into it, hehe.
But still, it seems like the kind of thing Bono would be aware of and play into. Between the Fly and MacPhesto, he seems to of had enough experience with alteregos, anyways.

Seriously Bono, Edge, Adam and Larry, if you're reading this, give it a thought! It's one of your finest, most awesome tunes you ever wrote!
