Everything was too comical, directors were trying to take the source material and transpose it to film without taking any time to filter the things that work in comic books from the things that won’t work in a movie. You know this movie is terrible but it was made in a time when people didn’t quite know how to make comic book movies.

It’s a shitfest that’s soul aim is to destroy the hero you know and love but director Joel Schumacher is just getting warmed up…

As if this isn’t challenging enough, he’ll also has to traverse the complexity of love as not one but two people (Nicole Kidman as Dr Chase Meridian and Chris O’Donnel as Dick Grayson/Robin) vie to be his partners. Okay, basic plot: Batman is back, this time played lifelessly by Val Kilmer and he has to protect a CGI version of Gotham from the terrible overacting of Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face and Jim Carrey as The Riddler. I actually really liked this movie when I was a kid, unfortunately it didn’t age well. It’s the 20th anniversary of the movie’s release and it’s as silly today as it was 20 years ago.
