Batman Forever

The whole thing is just that little bit wackier, perhaps closer to the 60s TV version - although Two-Face's burns are nastier than that show would have permitted.

Batman Forever is a visual tour de force, a knock-your-eyes-out effort. But it overdoes, overkills. And what starts out exhilarating ends up...exhausting.

It doesn't add up to much, but it's certainly entertaining.

Schumacher's spin on the black-suited vigilante is as flawed as it is brilliant, as messy as it is impressive. A bit of a two-face really.

By now, Jim Carrey is doing sarcastic takes on his own sarcasm, and there's something funny and a little scary in that.

Joel Schumacher submits to the Wagnerian bombast with an overly busy surface, and the script by Lee and Janet Scott Batchler and Akiva Goldsman basically runs through the formula as if it's a checklist.

To fully understand its multitude of sins requires multiple watches: in one viewing you will notice all of the comedy sound effects, but it takes a whole separate session to realise all of the scenes are in the wrong order.

From the iconic soundtrack to Jim Carrey’s beautifully hammy performance as The Riddler, Joel Schumacher’s first foray into Gotham City is genuinely a fantastic piece of pop art.

Also known as Batman Whatever, the third installment in what a appears to be an neverending series.

The Batmobile simply rolls over us.
