    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In the first Batman (1989), District Attorney Harvey Dent was played by Billy Dee Williams. Williams accepted the role with the knowledge and expectation that Dent would eventually become Two-Face. He reportedly had a clause put into his contract reserving the role for him in any sequels, which Warner Bros. had to buy out so they could cast Tommy Lee Jones. Williams would eventually voice the character in The LEGO Batman Movie (2017).
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 3 mins) A clipboard can be seen on Dr. Meridian's desk with the word 'schizophrenic' misspelled as 'schizofrenic.'
    • Quotes

      [upon reaching Claw Island]

      Robin: Holey rusted metal, Batman!

      Batman: Huh?

      Robin: The ground, it's all metal. It's full of holes. You know, holey.

      Batman: Oh.

    • Crazy credits
      The main title "Batman" never actually appears onscreen. It is instead represented by a bat logo with the rest of the title, "Forever," superimposed on top of it.
    • Alternate versions
      Finally passed uncut in the UK by the BBFC for the two-disc special edition DVD in 2005, with an upgrade from a PG certificate to a 12 certificate.

    Why did they omitted the dark n dystopian look. Jim Carrey did the same overacting what he did in Mask.
    I first saw this with a bunch of school pals in Sterling theatre (South Bombay) in the year 1995. Revisited it recently with my 10 year old nephew.

    After having enjoyed both the Keaton's Batman movies on vhs in the late 90s, i was looking forward for the theatrical experience.

    While Keaton's movies were dark with gothic style n a dystopian atmosphere, especially Batman Returns was far ahead of its time with a scary villain. Even my 10 year old nephew found the Penguin villain far better n scary than the 2022 version.

    Batman Forever ruined the experience with unnecessary comedic elements n lottuva overacting by Jim Carey who did the same stuff what he did in previous year's The Mask.

    We have Pat Hingle as Commissioner Gordon.

    He played Gordon in the 1989 film Batman and its three sequels. He is one of only two actors to appear in the four Batman films from 1989 to 1997; the other is Michael Gough as Alfred Pennyworth.

    In one scene Robin is caught by Two Face while Batman is engaged with The Riddler n then suddenly without any explanation, Robin is shown trapped by The Riddler.

    • How long is Batman Forever?Powered by Alexa
    • Which characters were adapted from the Batman comic books?
    • Who created the character of Batman? Bob Kane is listed in old (pre-2015) media including the comic books as creating Batman on his own but new media (made after 2015) shows him as co-creating the character with someone called Bill Finger, so what's all that about?
    • Is Batman Forever a direct sequel to "Batman Returns?"
