Instead, the new film catches the campy innocence of the Batman TV series of the ’60s. Batman Forever, with Joel Schumacher ( The Client) in for Burton as director, goes easy on the mayhem and doesn’t dwell on our hero’s pesky depressive side. Except for Michelle Pfeiffer’s whip-smart and sexy Catwoman, it left a sour taste.
Audiences, not just the Dole contingent, were turned off by Burton’s grim and disjointed 1992 sequel, Batman Returns. This 1995 version has cleaned up its act.
The third Batman epic, with Val Kilmer replacing Michael Keaton as the Caped Crusader and Jim Carrey out-mugging Jack Nicholson’s Joker as the rascally Riddler, is a long way from the dark poetry of Tim Burton’s 1989 original.
