Overview

Batman faces off against two foes: the schizophrenic, horribly scarred former District Attorney Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face, and the Riddler, a disgruntled ex-Wayne Enterprises inventor seeking revenge against his former employer by unleashing his brain-sucking weapon on Gotham City's residents. As the caped crusader also copes with tortured memories of his parents' murder, he has a new romance, with psychologist Chase Meridian. Wikipedia ↗

About the Film

Batman Forever is a 1995 American superhero film directed by Joel Schumacher, the third Batman film following Tim Burton's two entries. Val Kilmer takes over the cape and cowl as Bruce Wayne/Batman, who faces two villains simultaneously: Two-Face, a scarred former district attorney played by Tommy Lee Jones, and the Riddler, a rejected Wayne Enterprises employee played by Jim Carrey, who team up to destroy Batman and drain Gotham's brainpower. The film introduced Chris O'Donnell as Dick Grayson/Robin and Nicole Kidman as psychologist Dr.

Chase Meridian. Joel Schumacher deliberately shifted the franchise's tone from Burton's gothic darkness toward a more colorful, commercially accessible approach — the production design was dominated by neon, the villains were cartoonishly exaggerated, and the overall aesthetic anticipated the comic book films of the following decade. Jim Carrey's manic Riddler dominated every scene with the physical comedy energy of his 1994 peak.

Batman Forever (1995). When Two-Face is talking to Sugar and Spice, the Riddler can be seen on the right waiting for his cue - he doesn't enter the scene for another few minutes.
Top comment: "The Riddler just silently standing in the corner while other people discuss the plans seems like it..."

Paul Dano's Riddler in The Batman (2022) has the same glasses as Jim Carrey's Riddler from Batman Forever (1995)
