"Batman deserves more and better"

A wild Nolan appears.

batman returns was much better than this the acting and the dark mysterious plot was sooo chilling and amazing i have loved it since i was a kid and still do

didn't have a problem with Val Kilmer as Bruce Wayne/Batman -- or Nicole Kidman as the Sexy Chase Merridian my problems with the movie were this.. 1. Robin was done all wrong- he ( Dick Grayson/Robin ) was much younger when he met Bruce Wayne ( i believe around 12 -13 )..if you cant follow the comic right then DON'T ADD THE CHARACTER IN THE MOVIE. 2. Should of done a backstory on Harvey "Two Face" Dent to explain why Bruce is obsessed with saving him 3. Keep the suit dark.. like its meant to be

I really like Batman Forever as well. I haven't seen the apparently "super dark" Batman Returns yet, but I've seen the Tim Burton Batman(with the Joker), Batman and Robin, and both the current Nolan films. As of now my two favorite Batmans have to be Forever and the Tim Burton one.

@SLPIFan I agree there entirely. Batman Returns was indeed very neat, but it was missing elements that made the original so interesting. Forever is up with the original in my opinion.

I really like Batman Forever. I may be one of theonly ones, but its cool. It has a great plot, great action, great villains, emotional times with Bruce Wayne, awesome funny scenes, a hot girl in the picture in Nicole Kidman. Disagree but this was my favorite of the non Christopher Nolan Batman films. I've just always considered this one to be quite entertaining. Val Kilmer was no Keaton, but he did the job well. Anyway, my rank of the six Batman films

1. TDK 2. BB 3. BF 4. B 5. BR 6. B&R

@SLPIFan "much better viewed as a Tim Burton movie," the perfect review in just seven words.

@WeaponXXIV they killed the bat

After watchng this, I have to say....Nolan is a fuckin genius

[SLPIFan]

Not as good as 89, but I'd say it was about as good of a movie as and a better Batman movie than RETURNS (Which is much better viewed as a Tim Burton movie) This one really is only hated as much as it is for not having Burton/Keaton and that has been made guilty by assocation with BATMAN & ROBIN. It's not a perfect movie, but it's got a lot of merits that people ignore. A very underrated movie.

What a horrible horrible movie.
