“The Dark Knight’s Most Underrated Movie…a campy, visually sumptuous take on the characters, with thrilling action sequences and standout performances.” –Comic Book Resources

Help us pay a fond farewell to one of Hollywood’s most mercurial stars by enjoying one of his most iconic performances. Val Kilmer may have been a one-and-done Dark Knight, but for some of us, he will always be the greatest to ever don the cowl. Unfairly maligned by critics, 30 years on, BATMAN FOREVER looks better than ever. A campy, colorful riff on the ’60s TV series, updated for the MTV generation, Joel Schumacher’s first foray into Gotham finds Batman (Kilmer) teaming up with the Boy Wonder, Robin (Chris O’Donnell) to face off against not one, not two members of the Rogues Gallery: disfigured DA-turned-coin-flipping criminal Harvey Dent a.k.a. Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones) and brilliant Wayne Enterprises researcher Edward Nygma (Jim Carrey), who terrorizes Gotham City with elaborately constructed ruses as The Riddler. With a bevy of cool gadgets, ludicrous mid-90s day-glo designs, robust homoerotic undertones, and a legendary soundtrack featuring Seal’s delectably overblown ’90s pop-radio staple “Kiss from a Rose,” BATMAN FOREVER may not be the most respectable interpretation of the Caped Crusader, but who cares? It’s easily the most fun.
