      Ace Ventura teams up with the cop from The Fugitive, so Iceman has to team up with that guy from NCIS:LA to defeat them

      Joel Schumacher of all people. To follow Tim Burton. That’s like hiring Dean Koontz to finish George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series (Game of Thrones), or to pick up an unfinished Neil Gaiman series.

        Ironically it’s Tim Burtons fault it went to Schumacher after his self indulgence with Returns. If he’d matched the tone of the 1989 movie (wildly successful) it could easily have been another hit.

        That whole situation leads me to the unpopular opinion that the 1989 Batman was as good as it was because of Burton, yes, but importantly the other creatives and producers.

            Yeah, I’m surprised to learn it still has a strong following. It was too pantomimish for me, but I made my own fan edit that’s about 45 minutes shorter and I find that more watchable. Different strokes, etc.

              I haven’t watched it recently but i really related to Catwoman 's arc, how it was kind of like an insanity and compulsion

                Michelle Pfeiffer is absolutely amazing. The range she has as an actor is unreal and I genuinely believe I am watching someone lose their mind when I watch that movie.

        He was a good director though. It’s just that he wanted to do Batman with nipple armour.

      Batman Forever is tied with The Dark Knight as the Best Batman Movie Ever. It’s perfect. They might be in my book as The Best Superhero Movies Ever.

      I’m not a superhero movie fan.

      Batman Forever fucks, tho.
