Batman Forever
In an unintentionally hilarious scene designed to showcase the future Robin's awesomeness, here is Chris O'Donnell taking care of some laundry.
Batman must confront foes Two-Face and The Riddler in this sequel, which was meant to revive the franchise after the dreary, unpopular Batman Returns. So the visuals are candy-coloured, and the tone mostly upbeat. Batman Forever actually does a better job of managing its many characters than its predecessor did, but the stupid, stupid dialogue and undistinguished action scenes are too steep a price to pay for a more coherent structure. Tommy Lee Jones is given nothing to do as Two-Face and ends up as merely a dull rerun of Jack Nicholson's Joker. Jim Carrey, who was born to play a comic book villain, is more fun as The Riddler. Val Kilmer barely registers in the title role.
