Description

Batman Forever turns 30—and we’ve got a lot to say.


This week, we revisit Joel Schumacher’s polarizing 1995 take on the Caped Crusader. We discuss how the film’s bold style, bizarre tone, and toy-first storytelling shaped (and misshaped) the Batman legacy. Was Val Kilmer a great Bruce Wayne? Did Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones go too far? Should this film be remembered for its visuals or buried for its missed dramatic depth? We also talk Robin’s film potential, the legacy of Kevin Conroy, and why we’re cautiously hopeful about James Gunn’s upcoming Brave and the Bold.📹 Follow us on socials for updates and more:Reel Chums Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reelchums/Rubio's Twitter: ⁠https://twitter.com/Rubio_tv⁠Marcel's Twitter: ⁠https://twitter.com/marztrosity⁠Reel Chums Twitter: ⁠https://twitter.com/ReelChums⁠Do you have something to say, a burning question about this, or any other episodes?
