    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).

    • 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.

    6/10
    Nowhere near Burton
    The trailer for Batman Forever had Danny Elfman's original score, making us think this would be another Burton-esque sequel. Unfortunately Warner over-corrected Batman Returns' darkness with a campy, hyper coloured comic book. Kilmer is pretty good as Batman/Bruce, and Kidman reasonable as the psychologist love interest. Jones and Carrey are both completely off their faces, and O'Donnell doesn't quite succeed as the too cool for school Robin. OK at times, but nowhere near Burton's two films. 6/10.

    FAQ14

    • 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?"
