An absolute cinematic disaster.

Batman faces off against two foes: the schizophrenic, horribly scarred former District Attorney Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face, and the Riddler, a disgruntled ex-Wayne Enterprises inventor seeking revenge against his former employer by unleashing his brain-sucking weapon on Gotham City's residents. As the caped crusader also copes with tortured memories of his parents' murder, he has a new romance, with psychologist Chase Meridian.

Batman Forever is the cinematic equivalent of finding your old toys and trying to charge admission.

Batman Forever is what happens when a writers' room confuses "ambiguous" with "didn't finish the draft".

@LATE_SHOW_LURKER2025-12-13 10:00 UTC

Batman Forever should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

Even the popcorn looked bored during Batman Forever.

The cinematography in Batman Forever is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Everyone praising the Batman Forever performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Batman Forever?

Director clearly thought Batman Forever was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Unpopular opinion: Batman Forever is the most overrated film of the decade

Rewatched Batman Forever last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Batman Forever?

Look, I wanted to love Batman Forever. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
