Batman Forever
Batman Forever (
1995) (official on-screen title is simply "Forever") is regarded by some as less serious than
Batman and the
1992 sequel
Batman Returns.
This third film in the modern series of live-action Batman movies stars
Val Kilmer as
Batman and Chris O'Donnell as
Robin. The villains in this movie are
The Riddler, played by
Jim Carrey, and Two-Face/Harvey Dent, a role played in the original 1989 movie by
Billy Dee Williams, but assumed here by
Tommy Lee Jones.
It was directed by
Joel Schumacher, who took over the film franchise from
Tim Burton, this film's producer.
This sequel follows Two-Face's alliance with The Riddler to destroy Batman. It also tells the origin story of Robin (a familiar character not seen in any previous Batman film in the Tim Burton era).
