This movie gets hated on but as a kid growing up in the 90's I thought it was the best movie ever. Because of that it has sentimental value. I'm sure other 90's kids feel the same way.
It annoys me when people think superhero’s aren’t supposed to be silly when batman has a supervillain called the riddler and the penguin like I understand that once in a while you can have a serious superhero movie (dark knight) but most of the time you can’t take it seriously because they’re in spandex suits with logos walking around in capes that somehow don’t get in the way
I used to enjoy it as a kid but it doesn’t age well. So I’m sure some 90’s kids feel the same way but I’m not one of them. I still prefer the Keaton-Burton Batman films and the Bale-Nolan trilogy
4:03 is the most badass scene in this movie. He looks like a demon charging out of hell. Total Animated Series vibes. The look of fear of the goons faces really sell it.
Extra. Stand ins are just people who are there to block shots and stand in the place of actors for production reasons. They don’t appear on camera. This dude is an extra. That said, yes, it’s possibly the greatest moment in cinema history.
With all the commotion and gullibility of the patrons, they probably thought "Oh, the host is trying to negotiate with the psychopath! How brave of him!"
Apparently Megamind’s best line was inspired by that one. “Your entrance was good, his was better. The difference? Showmanship.” “You’re a villain alright, just not a super one!” “WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE!?” “PRESENTATION!”
Gotta say I love the part where Batman jumps off the building 3:05 and you just hear the theme pick up. I actually love the theme. I feel like it’s really underrated.
Facts! Watching that scene when I was young was so fucking cool plus when two faces says “why can’t you just die!” makes the scene so much more powerful and bad ass 🔥🔥🔥
@@iliketosmoke3123 How Two Face says "Why won't you just die?!?" lets you know that he is starting to question if this guy is actually human. Batman starts to become real effective at his job once people start believing he is actually supernatural.
The scenes where Batman are running are epic but dam with the fire and so forth. EPIC. As a kid my dad said I was freaking out when they released the fire and I got dead silent. Then Batman ran out and I remember shouting YEAAAAAAAH lol. Then i got silent again when everything collapsed on him, and then Robin. Yay. Lol
3:09 Like a lot of others already commented, the CGI when he jumps from the building looks so freaking good! Especially since this film came out nearly 30 years ago. I think what helped make these early 90’s films work so well though was that they were sparring with the amount of cgi they used.
Still to this day with all the Batman stuff that has come out, the scene when Batman jumps and flies downward at 3:07 is one of the coolest and badass I've seen
What was his plan though. He jumped from a tall ass building down into a street level hole without slowing his descent. He couldn’t even see the bottom of the hole lol if that tube wouldn’t have been there he’d have splatted down there haha
"I could be fired for this, SIr." Alfred, if you weren't fired for letting Vicki Vale into the Batcave, you've already got pretty good job security lol
Joel Schumacher, director of the Batman movie, whose soundtrack is sung by Seal. In 2019, Schumacher was diagnosed with cancer. June 22, 2020, that is, today, he died of an illness in New York. Rest in peace, Joel.
mrrandom45 He wanted to make a darker movie based on one of Frank Miller’s graphic novels but WB said no because Batman Returns was “too dark” for parents at the time. WB wanted family friendly Batman movie, and when Batman Forever made more money than the two previous films, they went further and made B&R kid friendly with toy manufacturers designing sets and vehicles, even making script changes. Schumacher pitched a darker film one more time but WB blamed him for B&R failure (it was WB’s fault) and had enough of him.
no....they were just mostly portrayed as goofy, not really as a joker-like character. yes, joker is goofy, but he can be dark. also the original Riddler (60s) had a lot of energy. also two-face probably is goofy because comics tend to be kind of goofy sometimes, y'know? that's what joel wanted to do for the movie. and that's what he did. i mean, all the villains can be dark, we can see that in the batman and the nolanverse films, but a lot of the concepts were originally kind of just silly. but people slowly started to make their own interpretations of the batman universe and they got to experiment with the backstories and etc.
@@MnMS1904 ye but that jump is cgi though. Pretty sure of it. There's no way you'd make a set piece like that and film it with a stuntman. It can't physically be shot in realtime and i doubt if they did that as a slomo, they'd get the movement to look so fluid, especially with the cape. I'm happy to be proven wrong of course :)
maggit Rumor is that Schumaker wanted to use the Joker as the main baddy, but Burton nixed that idea because it was too unrealistic. Especially givem how he died in the first movie. Burton suggested Two Face as a villain, but Schumaker didn't like how dark and gritty the villain was, and neither did WB studios. A compromise was initially reached between all three parties in which Two Face would be used, but his dark, brooding nature would be undertoned drastically with occasional slapstick humor. At some point, Schumaker and WB studios went behind Burton's back and rewrote the character entirely, resulting in what you see here - a total debauchery. It didn't help either that Jones let his disdain for Carrey take over to such a degree that he spent most of the movie trying to "out act" and out do him.
@@alexmoxley8124 actually Schumaker was originally interested in doing more darker stuff. However the studio balked and wanted something lighter. Thus stuff like the original opening scene of twoface escaping arkham which had a darker tone despite no deaths was cut by the studio. Schumaker was actually interested in doing a batman year one film which was dismissed. In fact if he hadn't killed the series with batman and robin he had wanted to do a darker batman triumphant which would have involved scarecrow and joker's daughter.
I was born in '88. This movie came out when I was 7, and I remember it being the summer when I saw it in theaters. I loved it and saw it on VHS over and over again. As an adult, I understand that it's not that great in my opinion, but I still find it entertaining and liked the casting. Jim Carrey was high in demand in the 90s. I'll simply end here by saying that the 90s was a fantastic experience in so many things, especially pop culture. Movies were just so damn good.
I am the exact same as you growing up, but unfortunately didn’t see the movie. At the time, I definitely remember the batmobile parts I tried to assemble alongside a photo booklet of the movie. My folks were weird…first movie theater experience was the first Harry Potter with my aunt and cousins.
I was 16 at the time seeing this in the theater with my best friend... we would do this every weekend, go to the mall spend all day there.. catch movies and hit the arcade afterwards. It was great times..i miss those days.. Oh and sound effects got better during the 90s as well...especially when u heard the shell casing hitting the ground. It was great heearing sound evolve and just get that good.
I CAME HERE TO SAY that 3:43 is actually realistic. I _literally just learned about_ thermal blankets and this technique that Firefighters use if a forest fire surprises them and traps them. they can "baked potato" up and the blanket reflects the heat well-enough that it can actually work. I watched this movie 20 years ago as a kid and i never realized this was actually possible. TIL. edit: okay he does push some sort of button, so idk what that part of his magic blanket does, but the _idea_ is grounded in reality. very cool
She never quite looked as good as she did in this movie...same with Famke Janssen in Goldeneye. Feels like they had surgeries to prevent aging, only to look older anyway. Or it's the 90s makeup lol
Kidman's had surgery for her entire career since the 80s. That's why she doesn't look weird today; she did it right. You don't do surgery when you're already old, you do it gradually, starting at age 25 if you have the money/willingness. Not a way to live, but damn. It's an investment that'll get you looking 20 years younger when you're 60, and not look like you had surgery.
Brandon Spain I don’t think he would have because Burton used him as bait to get Jack Nicholson to play the Joker in the original Batman so even if Burton did direct this one, Williams wouldn’t have accepted.
@@chrispeplinski7306 as far as big list actors go, Robin Williams was at least imo always a great pick for the riddler. Watch 1 Hour Photo or Insomnia. Actually World's Greatest Dad I thought displayed what would have made him a perfect riddler. A middle/older aged white man that's quirky/quick witted/clever with an unhealthy hero worship of Bruce Wayne gets fired and snaps. I never really like Williams much, but I always thought he would have been perfect as The Riddler, especially if it would have been a Nolan Batman.
I wonder if it was the same blade guy Batman saved from the elevator shaft at the bank. Wow, you'd think he show some gratitude to the man who actually saved his life.
3:57 - I'm betting these henchman (and their mannerisms) inspired some of what you see in the 'Batman Arkham' games :) *Really loved the first two of those games. Classics*
@@Lightingwarrior Maybe... but Two-Face just crashed The Riddler's party. So yeah, maybe he was just in character. Tommy Lee didn't like Jim, Jim was more indifferent towards Lee...
Batman's entrance and subsequent backflip off the podium is just 🔥🔥! Plus the sound design and music in this scene and the movie as a whole is so fucking good! This movie blew my mind as a kid in the early 2000's and I still love it to this day.
There are a few scenes that make me cringe, I must admit. Like Jim Carey acting like a game show host when he's supposed to be explaining that he's sucking out brain waves and any scene with Nicole Kidman talking.
2:20 Nicole Kidman was SO fine in this movie. Also this would have been the biggest tabloid photo ever: "Superhero makes out with guest during high stakes robbery."
I don't care what anyone says, this is still my Favorite Batman of All Time! Bruce Wayne actually kicked butt and wasn't portrayed as a pansy. Plus Jim Carey and Tommy Lee Jones were just phenomenal.
I disagree I hate the cheesiness of batman forever and batman and robin.. I dont like how they had two-faced acting like he was some sort of joker... my fav would be batman returns..sure it has a bit cheesyness but tim burton had a better vision..ofcoure thats my opinion
Let’s admit; that shot from 3:11 was epic and something that needs to be seen more often in such a superhero movie. One thing Schumacher did very right
The cinematographer for the new Batman has defo drawn inspiration from this but completely refreshed it (he’s done a few big films recently in a row and they’re all phenomenal)
He did A LOT right. For the life of me, I can't figure out how it became popular to drag the Schumacher films. Batman & Robin has its flaws, but it's enjoyable, too.
Give Joel Schumacher one thing - he did good hiring Elliot Goldenthal for the score and the look of Gotham is great. and haha - back when Jim Carrey was a £20 million actor, no disrespect.
they actually saved his life with that tube, he had nothing slowing him down and seemed to intentionally go faster, if that tube wasnt there he woulda hit the ground and died from impact.
That's not true if you look closely he is using his bat cap to slow him self down like a parachute/glider remeber bat man can glide and even fly sometimes
@José Menendéz It's half as good as it could be. If the movie had a respectable Two Face instead of a buffoon and actually left in diary subplot than yes. But didn't do those things so at best it's ok.
1:25 CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT That’s the exact same guard from the beginning of the movie. He goes from an utterly terrified and annoying guy who can’t even keep calm even though Batman will save the day to the guy who triumphantly announces Batman has arrived and everything will be okay
4:02 - Batman runs through the fire and faces Two-Face with a menacing look. They think the Dark Knight is a irresistible force of nature who cannot die.
I do believe towards the end, Two-Face was gettin' just a BIT frustrated. Was it me or did it seem like Tommy Lee Jones was just havin' a ball with this role and actually dang entertaining?
What I liked about this batman is that he was the kind of hero that was publicly applauded, as opposed to the dark knight being nothing more than a vigilante
What I was trying to say was isn’t Batman originally just a vigilante? It’s okay for movies to try something different but that’s what he’s supposed to be originally so obviously he’ll be interpreted as a vigilante
Back in the 90's this was my first ever live action Batman. I would, and still do, get chills watching Batman jump from that ledge and emerge from that fire. This flick, and the animated series, was what made me a superfan of comic media.
This movie gets hated on but as a kid growing up in the 90's I thought it was the best movie ever. Because of that it has sentimental value. I'm sure other 90's kids feel the same way.

1:45 - Loved how two face had two drinks to satisfy both sides
_ah nice!_ what a great catch.
edit: more obvious, but another thing I missed: his two revolvers at 0:35 are chrome and black.

C PT dude they have different versions of the characters look at 1960s Batman all of them were jokester gangster like it's there on tape man XD

Say what you want about the film but 4:01 is badass.
It was pretty epic and it goes to show u can't kill the bat

this was a good movie! It was the next one that sucked ass
3:09 the jump between the old buildings and the lightning billboards take me to another world
Amazing cinematography
The bromance between the Riddler and two-face is the best part of the movie
RIP Joel Schumacher 🙏🏻 Val Kilmer was actually a good Batman 😔
I deffinitely agree with this. The most underrated Batman actor in my opinion
Agreed
The best in my opinion
the best by miles
I dont think he's bad he unfortunately didn't have the best writing and was apparently too difficult to work with
You gotta admit the part where batman is staring with the flames behind him looks freaking awesome!
So bad ass!
Actually they were still around him, the flames....
Just wish he would close his mouth.
Ah, 90s....when adding neon lighting to ordinary things was a 'cool' thing to do.
And yes, Nicky Kidman, pre-surgery? DAMNNN
And almost 30 years later still hot in Aquaman
She never quite looked as good as she did in this movie...same with Famke Janssen in Goldeneye. Feels like they had surgeries to prevent aging, only to look older anyway. Or it's the 90s makeup lol
Lol mando doubts this
Kidman's had surgery for her entire career since the 80s. That's why she doesn't look weird today; she did it right. You don't do surgery when you're already old, you do it gradually, starting at age 25 if you have the money/willingness. Not a way to live, but damn. It's an investment that'll get you looking 20 years younger when you're 60, and not look like you had surgery.
They did that in 2010s comics
At 3:17 Two-Face should've said:
Too bad Batman! You should LOOK before you LEAP!
I think in the hands of Tim burton Jim Carey's riddler would've been amazing
Brandon Spain I don’t think he would have because Burton used him as bait to get Jack Nicholson to play the Joker in the original Batman so even if Burton did direct this one, Williams wouldn’t have accepted.
@@Daniel-qw7mm Warner Bros used Williams as bait, not burton
I am not sure if robin Williams would have made a convincing riddler.
@@chrispeplinski7306 I'd say he'd make a better Mad Hatter
@@chrispeplinski7306 as far as big list actors go, Robin Williams was at least imo always a great pick for the riddler. Watch 1 Hour Photo or Insomnia. Actually World's Greatest Dad I thought displayed what would have made him a perfect riddler. A middle/older aged white man that's quirky/quick witted/clever with an unhealthy hero worship of Bruce Wayne gets fired and snaps. I never really like Williams much, but I always thought he would have been perfect as The Riddler, especially if it would have been a Nolan Batman.
4:12 *when you think you killed the final boss but he comes back for round two*
Like Bowser in the Mario games.
like batman?
When you used your best weapon and it didn't do shit to the boss

Nicole Kidman leaves a puddle around herself anytime Batman is within her presence.
"My place, midnight!"
The Batman became bedman
say what you will about the movie, but nobody can deny that when Batman emerges from the fire is one of the most badass moments in any movie.
The music just screams..I AM BATMAN!!!
This comment aged so well😂😂
Riddler: your entrance was good, but his was better * points at The Batman 2022*
Its okay i guess not as good as the Terminator scene but okay
1:54
“Emergency Alfred”
opens the trunk to save him several seconds.
Brilliant.
4:02 This was the coolest scene ever as a kid
4:02 - Batman runs through the fire like a phoenix rises from the ashes.
Two face was lokey a better joker than Jared Leto
Very underrated comment
@@madridistaporvida6529 ikr
Low key
Mustafa Sadeem Chowdhry I liked Jared as Joker
Anyone is a better joker than Jared Leto. That’s fucking weirdo.
I loved Val Kilmer better than George Clooney.
I agree val kilmer best as a batman
Gendis ayu in this he was after Keaton
Totally agree
*Literally No One* : "George Clooney was the best Batman ever " 😂
George Clooney was a horrible Batman but a ok Bruce wayne
2:09 that blade dodge takedown
Indiana Jones flashback
I wonder if it was the same blade guy Batman saved from the elevator shaft at the bank. Wow, you'd think he show some gratitude to the man who actually saved his life.
3:57 - I'm betting these henchman (and their mannerisms) inspired some of what you see in the 'Batman Arkham' games :)
*Really loved the first two of those games. Classics*
@ 2:16 even Jim Carrey is annoyed with Tommy Lee Jones's Two-Face portrayal lol
Tommy Lee Jones's is a serious actor he's not good with comedic roles and doesn't like them, it why he doesn't like Jim Carrey
I cannot sanction this buffoonery.
Jones was reluctant to take the role of Two-Face, but his son convinced him to do it otherwise he wouldn't work with Jim Carey.
I think Tommy Lee jones was hilarious as two face.
@@Lightingwarrior Maybe... but Two-Face just crashed The Riddler's party. So yeah, maybe he was just in character. Tommy Lee didn't like Jim, Jim was more indifferent towards Lee...
1:30 I see Two-Face hired former Stormtroopers after the fall of the Empire left them unemployed.
Batman's uniform is Bulletproof.
@@iantaggart3064 The point is they weren't even aiming at him to begin with
4:11- That face...
Rt tho!
Gordon Barrie the face of doom
It's the Bat-Glare, if Batman gives you that. He'll visit you!
Most badass scene in the movie
@@dn7422 Man everyone would point and laugh at him if he made this glare. At least close his mouth. He looks like a baby sticking his tongue out.
Batman's entrance and subsequent backflip off the podium is just 🔥🔥! Plus the sound design and music in this scene and the movie as a whole is so fucking good! This movie blew my mind as a kid in the early 2000's and I still love it to this day.
"My place at midnight."
Nicole...you don't have 2 ask me twice...
For real.
when i was children i love this movie, now i continue to like it
Andrea Piccini lmao same
I always put it right behind the original 89 film, never cared for Returns or Batman & Robin.
There are a few scenes that make me cringe, I must admit. Like Jim Carey acting like a game show host when he's supposed to be explaining that he's sucking out brain waves and any scene with Nicole Kidman talking.
"cellular telephones" man this movie is old!
I said that in 2005 when I rewatched it then...
NygmaTech Box yet everyone had cellular telephones and Pentium I at Wayne Enterprises...
Yeah, cause no one has a cell phone in 2019
I am currently viewing this on a cellular telephone

Crandylight Kameez a total of 9 films and still no Batman has a rooftop jump as fire as this one.
According to Jim Carrey, he did not get along with Tommy Lee Jones, who told him that he hated him and his films.
They are both assholes so I could understand that.

2:20 Nicole Kidman was SO fine in this movie. Also this would have been the biggest tabloid photo ever: "Superhero makes out with guest during high stakes robbery."
At least Batman didn't see caught Edward talking to Two-Face, otherwise he could have guessed he's Riddler without his riddles.
Thank you for noticing that.
I don't care what anyone says, this is still my Favorite Batman of All Time! Bruce Wayne actually kicked butt and wasn't portrayed as a pansy. Plus Jim Carey and Tommy Lee Jones were just phenomenal.
And Val really captured the depressed nature of Bruce well
I disagree I hate the cheesiness of batman forever and batman and robin.. I dont like how they had two-faced acting like he was some sort of joker... my fav would be batman returns..sure it has a bit cheesyness but tim burton had a better vision..ofcoure thats my opinion
So you think kilmer’s batman kicked more butt that bale’s.....huh?
My man!!!! Yes I lobe this movie. The fucking music too!
@@wormie077 I guess so that's his opinion so I won't judge
2:36 that laughing and side look he did going in the elevator 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
And Batman face....😂😂
Lolll my fav scene
2:22 Chase: "My place. Midnight."
Batman having to do a double take means two-face nearly plummeted to irrelevant in that instant hehe
Let’s admit; that shot from 3:11 was epic and something that needs to be seen more often in such a superhero movie.
One thing Schumacher did very right
Yeah
Not one
With the exception of Marvel, movies ate scared to show the heroes dressed up. Wtf
The cinematographer for the new Batman has defo drawn inspiration from this but completely refreshed it (he’s done a few big films recently in a row and they’re all phenomenal)
He did A LOT right. For the life of me, I can't figure out how it became popular to drag the Schumacher films. Batman & Robin has its flaws, but it's enjoyable, too.
Give Joel Schumacher one thing - he did good hiring Elliot Goldenthal for the score and the look of Gotham is great.
and haha - back when Jim Carrey was a £20 million actor, no disrespect.
carrey pretty much caried this film alone
Jim Carrey made about £4 million for this picture.
willis jhonson the question is what happened to carreys acting career? Have not heard of him in years
MrHEC381991 Before He was a $20 million actor (He got that for “Liar, Liar”.)
willis jhonson Jim Carrey is not an actor; he's an artist.
Honestly loved Batman jumping down the building to the scene when Tommy says "Why can't you just die???" The absolute most
If not for Robin, two-face was closest able to kill Batman
@@republicempire446 to kill THIS batman

@@methlokaijufan9729 NO.
@@agustinbaletti yes
2:09 did anyone else notice the stuntman’s small head nod towards the thug so he can fall backwards after the kick he’s about to throw? 🤣
You can also see, against that first thug he fights one on one, that when he knocks the gun away and throws a punch, the punch doesn't connect.
That particular fight scene when he kicks the thug is a callback to the 1989 film when Keaton's Batman knocks out the sword guy with a single kick.
1:59 the way Alfred has it ready just folded neatly in the trunk 😂😂
they actually saved his life with that tube, he had nothing slowing him down and seemed to intentionally go faster, if that tube wasnt there he woulda hit the ground and died from impact.
I think the plan was elaborate for a reason
That's not true if you look closely he is using his bat cap to slow him self down like a parachute/glider remeber bat man can glide and even fly sometimes
Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey nailed the scene I love them
At least no one in the party saw them talking to each other, otherwise they would know Jim's character of being the Riddler.
And they hated.each other
@@Disney65Fan Tommy Lee hates Jim for sure!!
Batman forever is so underrated and a lot darker than people give it credit for
yes i agree!
The villains drag it down. Riddler would have been fine like that but if Two face played more seriously it would have been better.
@@jackthegreek6092 Tommy Lee Jones is annoying as fuck in it but its still a very good movie that doesn't deserve the hate
@@stevenbaxter9099 Well, very good is still a stretch. The love interest still sucks. I have no idea why Batman is in love with her so much.
@José Menendéz It's half as good as it could be. If the movie had a respectable Two Face instead of a buffoon and actually left in diary subplot than yes. But didn't do those things so at best it's ok.
Did anyone notice Two Face drinking two different kinds of wine black wine and red wine?
Amelia Beckley fits his split personality :)
Why did you use a blurry picture to be your profile pic.
That was so cringe
No such thing as black wine. Therefore - he was drinking two red wines, only one was very dark.
@@kristenslice561 ...
1:25 CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
That’s the exact same guard from the beginning of the movie. He goes from an utterly terrified and annoying guy who can’t even keep calm even though Batman will save the day to the guy who triumphantly announces Batman has arrived and everything will be okay
BATMAN EHHHH!
This needs more likes!
The only reason I watched it
"Your entrance was good, his was better." Love that quote :'D
2:07 Indiana jones reference?
Actually i think this was in a Batman movie before... '89 maybe?
Similar to the alley scene where he takes down the guy with the swords.
No, it reference to batman 1989.
Anyone notice how Batman looked the guy up and down before kicking him like “no contest”
Val was a great Batman/Wayne. When Batman crashes through and does the flip 1:29 ..i still get the chills😅👍🏻 very cool part. Very Batman.
0:46- Val Kilmer sounds a lot like Kevin Conroy here!
I always said that of all the Batmen, Kilmer sounded the most like Conroy
4:02 - Batman runs through the fire and faces Two-Face with a menacing look. They think the Dark Knight is a irresistible force of nature who cannot die.
I do believe towards the end, Two-Face was gettin' just a BIT frustrated. Was it me or did it seem like Tommy Lee Jones was just havin' a ball with this role and actually dang entertaining?
This is the film that made me a Batman fan as a kid and still a huge fan of Batman to this day.
2:10 the kick scene always make me laugh. Batmans like "whatever".
Reminds me of Indiana Jones shooting the swordsman.
What I liked about this batman is that he was the kind of hero that was publicly applauded, as opposed to the dark knight being nothing more than a vigilante
But Batman is a vigilante
@@chiefcommander3027 That's mainly what he is. But is that all he is
@@chiefcommander3027 so is literally the other heroes except for some.
What I was trying to say was isn’t Batman originally just a vigilante? It’s okay for movies to try something different but that’s what he’s supposed to be originally so obviously he’ll be interpreted as a vigilante
Nicole Kidman's character is hornier than the girls from Ass Parade 4.
Back in the 90's this was my first ever live action Batman. I would, and still do, get chills watching Batman jump from that ledge and emerge from that fire. This flick, and the animated series, was what made me a superfan of comic media.
