This is sexual harassment and I don't have to take it. Priceless
And I was just watching that episode of nostalgic commercials before watching this lol
10:50
"Oh no you di-idn't"
I just realized the "Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb" joke could be inserted into almost any Batman movie, and work.
@Brandon Brooks
There's also the moment in Batman Returns when the Big Strongman had a bomb planted on his stomach and Batman knocks him down a hole where he explodes.
And Batmobile drops bomb in Axis Chemicals in "Batman" '89. ;)
@@SerpentorTheEmperor or when he carries the nuke out of gotham in dark knight rises.
Or when the Riddler sends the dude with the bomb collar to the funeral in The Batman.
No, the good question are you f#cking high? 26:01
The idea of Batman sitting quietly in court in full costume is just hilarious!
I guess so
That's how it was in the first, original, Two Face story. Back when he was Harvey Kent. Batman took the witness stand.
@@rsine100 Harvey Kent?
@@Cartman254 Yeah. That was his original name when the character made his first appearance back in the 40’s.
Your honor as justice I must say we find the defendent guilty
I remember when this movie came out, many people, including myself, didn't even primarily watch because it was a Batman Movie, but simply because Jim Carrey was in it. The man simply owned and defined the 90s.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. After I saw Ace Ventura: Pet Detective when it came out I was totally hooked on Jim Carrey
Yeah
The man ruins everything he touches. he is a plague
Same here. We should start a club. Hahaha
I didn't get to watch a lot of 90's Carrey outside of the Mask, and only discovered all the classics in the last few years, but I do have a semi-annual Carrey bingefest from the 90's through the 2000's.
Jesus, I'd forgotten (read: repressed memory) how thirsty Dr. Meridian was for that Bat D. For fuck's sake _Harley_ is a more professional psychiatrist- pre and post-Joker!
minutemuse that's bad when you bring in Harley into the mix
As an 8 yo when I first saw it, I didn’t read it as thirst, but I did find it oddly hot
What if she turned out to be Harley?
minutemuse Tell me about it.
Paige Lively *shivers!!* That would be scary.
Tommy Lee Jones could've actually made a good two face if he wasn't written so cartoonish and the tone was darker
True.
@@nel-sunstudio330 I think it was because he looked at the script for this movie and said "Oh f**k no I ain't doing this bullsh*t". Honestly I'm surprised Tommy Lee Jones wanted to do it.
Honestly if you look at the first scene, his introduction, for the first couple of seconds he plays a really good two face, if he played the entire role like that it would’ve been really good
I honestly think that he would've a been good a joker
Most of the time, I'm thinking he disliked Jim Carrey so much, he was trying to out-crazy him. That's VERY hard for even skilled actors like Tommy Lee Jones to do.
Technically, Riddler DID make his name up. His real name is Edward Nashton, but he changed it to Nigma to better suit his alter ego
That is actually comic book accurate
That’s a relatively new thing, though. Edward Nashton didn’t become his name until 2013.
@@liamcullinsit was featured even in Arkham Asylum from 2009 dude
RIP Joel Schumacher. Say what you will about his Batman movies, he was still a great director of other movies and a great person overall.
Yeah he was still a great and lighthearted man may he rest in peace
Wait, Joel Schumacher passed away?
You definitely can’t say that they weren’t entertaining with their goofy ness
He did at least apologize for these movies.
He was a nice guy
The nipples were a nice touch
The worst part of this movie was Tommy Lee Jones trying to out-Jim Carrey Jim Carrey himself.
I totally agree! Tommy Lee was DREADFUL! I think he's worst than Schwarzenegger in my opinion.
With Schwarzy it was more a miscast problem: if you hire Schwarzy you get...well...Schwarzy, but if you hire Tommy Lee Jones you can get something better than this trash! I don't know what he was thinking!
You know how some good actors go on a "don't give a crap mode" because they know the movie is gonna be garbage...BUT, when the WORST part of that garbage it's YOU, yeeeah, you must rethink about it.
Maybe he was drunk the entire time, I don't know.
Seeing how Tommy Lee Jones usually plays straight and serious, maybe he saw this as a chance to go freaking insane for a change.
Ilyas Basuki A shame really. I think he could've made a great Two Face
There are some anedoctes told by Carrey on how much TLJ hated him on the set and outside.
It's because his son convinced him to take the part, he didn't know much about Batman.
"I shall be the Green Lightbulb." He briefly considered Green Lantern, but no one wants to see that.
David Witheridge fuck, that burn
Gonna need a blue lantern for that burn.
Wrong Franchise, that's Marvel's mistake, this is DC!
SpiritKitten DanicaLoy - Ummmm . . . You DO know that The Green Lantern is a DC character right? I mean, he’s one of the original members of The Justice League. I don’t think that Marvel even has a Green Lantern equivalent.
Thunderr100 Marvel got doctor spectrum same powers as green lantern but has different colours lignt construct and it came from an alien Gem
31:02 I'm surprised Critic and the Geek didn't say "The Riddler had Batman choose between the horny woman or his whiny Dick, only to save both because you can't keep one without the other."
“That was for my mother, my father, my brother, my goldfish, my dog, my uncle you never met!”
“I hope you have a small family.”
*Punch to the face*
"I've never been in love before."
Vicki: Beg pardon?
Selina: Am I a joke to you?
WhiteRoseSamurai it’s even weirder since they reference catwoman in the movie
Joker: Bats how could you...
TheBatgamer
What are you 8?
And Vicky vale: am I a double joke to you
Julie Madison: You nocturnal son of a BITTCHHHH!
Well, I gotta give the movie this.
Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones are both better Jokers than Jared Leto.
POLE7645 Would it be pushing it to also include Eisenberg?
Now I'm imagining Jim Carrey casting as Joker
Mona Teasley The funny thing is I could actually see that.
POLE7645 yeah
Alright, grab your pitchforks folks. I actually didn't think Jared Leto was that bad as the Joker.
"Why the mouth open?"
"THEY FORGOT TO DRILL HOLES FOR THE NOSTRILS IN THE MASK!"
"... Makes so much sense I am embarrassed. And so should the costume maker be."
You know that Val Kilmer actually voiced Moses in the Prince of Egypt. And Prince of Egypt should be regarded as one of the best movies DreamWorks ever made.
That I agree
Correction, one of THE BEST movies EVER made period.
Edit: Some grammer corrections
Even as an Atheist I love that movie.
How did I never hear it till now?
I love that movie.
Batman Forever, the movie where the Joker was canonically dead so they had to turn the rest of the villains into Joker copycats.
No this was before joker mania. After heath ledger the Joker became the center of the badguy universe and just this godlike character. These were just 60s style batman villains
Misha Leontiev dude this is silver age batman comics on the screen every villian was 7 types of apeshit.
Watch the Adam West Batman. Joker, Riddler, Penguin, they all were campy, energetic and over the top.
Yeah, this is why I don't mind the Schumacher Batflicks as much as most people. I'm fine accepting them as simply being in the tradition of the 60s Batman. Batman tends to veer wildly between ultra-dark and ultra-silly, so whatev. A couple silly movies got made, and they can be fun on that level. It's not like their existence cancels out 1989 Batman or the Nolan trilogy or anything. Both Batmans can coexist.
Brandon G Except they lacked the charm that made the 60s villains fun.
In the DC Comics universe, there was an entirely new amendment made that allows heroes and meta-humans to testify in court while still protecting their secret identities.
Except for poor Victor Stone
@@unwelldanny7108 I know, he doesn't have a secret identity!
A BAT-AMENDMENT!
Jayce Hatcher So basically the opposite of Marvel’s Superhero Registration Act.
Seriously?
Seeing this in Schumacher's death I really enjoyed how they portrayed him here. He's just trying to be a genuinely nice guy. And even though he made bad movies he was good. And doing his best
And it really wasn’t his fault it was mainly the studio’s and the parents fault. Kids need to watch more dark shows and movies. Also, Batman Forever is definitely one of my favorite Batman movies ever.
my malmac not to mention The Lost Boys and Falling Down are actually really good movies
But he made kiss from a rose and that song is so good
I heard they originally picked him because of The Lost Boys
...then the studio was like "no make it lighter"
@@rolyngeorges7315 Yeah, when I was kid I loved dark stuff and still do, Batman Forever was my favorite as a kid but when I got older I see it as god awful movie. The sets and music are good though.
Rip Joel Schumacher director of The Lost Boys, The Client, A Time to Kill, Falling Down, Tigerland, and Phone Booth. You will be missed 😢
Was phone booth the one where there was like a snpier gonna kill a guy unless he did very specific stuff while in said booth?
@@chrisarbour it was Colin Firth's big intro to mainstream movies, pretty good...and Joel Schumacher did "Falling Down"?! No way!! That's like, the complete opposite of this movie!! Joel Schumacher had a good career👍👍
@@twiceshy9773 *Colin Farrell
*Cough* *Cough* Phantom of the Opera too *Cough* Cough*
And Batman Forever and Batman and Robin.
Batman doesn't like sand. It's course, rough, irritating, and it gets everywhere.
not to mention it can get mixed with dust
I HATE DUST
*coarse
RyGuy040 like glitter
Not just the Batman, but the Batwoman and the Batchildren too.
Yes, he made that joke in the video already.
You know what would have made more sense? If next movie it was revealed Nicole Kidman was actually Harley Quinn. It would have explained her obsession with Batman, the promiscuity, and the fact she's a shit psichiatrist really.
travelkingable interesting twist. Trying to get back at him for the Joker? But the animated show just came out and I don't think they wanted that yet. However if Batman and Robin was successful then we would of had Batman Triumphant which they planned having Harley played by Madonna and she was the Joker's daughter...and Batgirl and Robin die due to the poison in the water. The poison or chemical in water idea was used for Batman Begins.
I love it. Headcanoned so hard.
+TalonSky Agreed.
hmmm i like this
travelkingable truthfully that's truthful and accurate
“Doctor Burton tells me you know who Batman is...”
“BEN AFFLECK”
“Okay he’s clearly nuts.”
Best line in the review 😂
@@dadeleemurphy85 Give Robert a chance.
I don't get it.
@@Cartman254 this was around the time when Ben Affleck was done for playing Batman in the DCEU and when The Batman was being made and before Robert Pattison was being casted as Batman or around the time he got casted as Batman

For all the problems this movie has, the neon green cyberpunk aesthetic of the visuals is really something to behold.

It’s not Batman, but it still looks cool.
Or shall we say it has Decopunk aesthetics
This movie was alright perfectly fine enjoyable movie has a messy script but it was fun from nearly start to finish if not compared to the darker Batman movies by itself the movie is a decent film.
15:59 “I shall be the Green Lightbulb”
16:28 “THE GREEN LIGHTBULB!?!?!?”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Are you seriously going to tell me that Jim Carrey squatting in front of a huge explosion isn't worth counting on the fart tracker?
Maybe it was too easy an opportunity?
That's still a facial expression I'd count. It was a triumphant, explosive fart and it deserves acknowledgement
Yeah... good point.
And where's my motherfucking joygasm?
Batman 1989: Knocks out everyone who sees him.
Batman & Robin: people who are close to him are the only ones who know he's Batman.
The Nolan Trilogy: People only figure it out after his alleged death.
Batfleck: Only the League and Alfred know his secret identity.
Batman Forever: "HARVEY!!! I'M BATMAN!!!"

@@unwelldanny7108 Cyborg is in the league
The Batman Forever part doesn't count. The crowd was screaming so loud, nobody (not even Two-Face) heard Bruce say he's Batman.
32:53 Most of Rene's scenes got cut from the final film. I believe he was in the intro to the story at Arkham and witnessing Harvey Two-Face had escaped. I tweeted Rene a few years ago saying that it was a shame most of his scenes ended up on the cutting room floor. He responded by saying 'Yeah, but they still paid me.' 😉

I'm betting the Critic tackles either ASM2 or goes ranty on Homecoming (bad idea).
Christopher Walken: This Ain't Over, Lobsters!!!
"A drama like the Burton movies..."
You forgot the huge balloon parade with horny green-haired Joker dancing to Prince, and the 20 feet rubber ducky.
20 feet duck, or 20 foot duck big diffrence
The "I'll get drive-thur" line was probably the first example of the studio wanting a light-hearted tone for the film.
During the black tux ad, when you said Special occasion, I thought you were going to be tossing a football with your friends.
Jake Reamer man I really would have loved to see that
Might've been too easy though xP
Strangely not many replies how
he's too chicken to do that scene. cheep cheep cheep cheeeeeeEeeEp
Now I know where Jesse Eisenberg got the inspiration for Lex Luthor . Jim Carrey's Riddler .
KalPhil The only villains that really got this inspiration are Aldrich Killian and Jamie Foxx's Electro. Also Balem Abrasax from Jupiter Ascending for being hammy and annoying.
At least the Riddler was somewhat amusing, I just found Lex Luthor annoying.
only Eisenberg(to me at least) was way more entertaining
RIP Joel Schumacher, your Batman movies may not have been very good but they were still memorable and fun to watch. You were one of a kind
I'm watching this to honor the passing of Joel Schumacher. RIP, sir.
Me too. Batman Forever was and still is one of my Favorite Batman Movies. It may be cartoonish but that’s my sort of thing. I like it a lot.

this joke would be twice as funny if you had knuckles or shadow as your icon.
Especially that last one.
The red lobster is bill. It all adds up.
Z .z no way, Bill's comic spinoff said he vowed to kill no man after the war
Mhm
moonymonster But did the war ever end for him? Did it?!
Z .z Have we ever seen Bill and Red Lobster at the same time? I rest my case.
Val’s Batman voice is actually really good
What about Christian Bale?
@@Cartman254 Not very good. He’s sounds like someone trying to be intimidating, while actors like Keaton and Conroy naturally come off as such. Batman is a lot more scarier when he’s sounds calm, giving off the vibe to his antagonists that he is in control of the situation and that they’re about to get an a** kicking that they can’t do nothing about.
To put it this way: Bale’s voice is someone attempting to imitate a demon, while Conroy and Keaton’s are the voices of demons.
30:52 "Seriously? Day 1 and you got caught?"
Red Lobster is truly a monster.
And their food is mediocre at best! *MEDIOCRE, I SAY!*

The “I’ll get drive-through” line is strangely my favorite line in any Batman movie. Also, if McDonald’s wasn’t the influence behind that line, what kind of fast food joint would Batman actually crave?
Burger king, he's insane
Probably just somewhere that sells cashews or hazelnuts.

I think that Riddler would be better portrayed in the movie if he were the Mad Hatter instead. I could totally see Mad Hatter doing the things that Carrey does in this movie, minus the riddles.
The riddles are very shoe horned in.
I agree with that.
Perhaps in the new Batman movie. I hear they're doing a lot of uncommon villians in that.

They were trying to make Two-Face The Joker. “Let’s start this party with a bang!” and dressing up like a Ring Leader for a circus is totally something Joker would do.

The tragic thing here is that Tommy Lee Jones could have actually done a riveting performance of Two Face if they based it more on Batman TAS instead of Looney Tunes. Instead, Two Face is Joker Lite in this movie. What a disappointment.

While rewatching this today, and the unfortunate news of Schumacher's passing, I am hopeful for a nice retrospective on him on a film of his or another.

*"BATS AREN'T BUGS!"*
My favorite line from Jim Carrey.
Riddler: "Was that over the top? I can never tell."
Me: "LMFAO! THAT IS A BOLD-FACED LIE AND YOU KNOW IT!"
Connor Caldwell I love Jim Carrey, but what I actually hate about the three films that followed Tim Burton's original (okay, maybe not true for Batman Returns) was the fact that every villain acted like the Joker! There was no distinction whatsoever between their personalities. Well, that and the stupid puns, the ridiculous plot holes, the major deviations from the source material (Batgirl was Jim Gordon's daughter, not Alfred's niece for fuck sake! Still not letting that one go)............
Jim Carrey says that during rehearsal takes for every movie he's ever been in. He even said it on In Living Color
Reasons I still love Jim Carrey's acting.
they have different personalities, just very similar behaviour and expressivness.
This film is worth it because of a few things:
Jim Carrey as Riddler
Seal's "Kiss From A Rose"
WAY better than "Batman & Robin".
What isn't better than Batman & Robin....Besides 50 Shades of Grey?
thesatanic6 Oh....them.
Am I the only person in the world who thinks Jim Carrey is nothing but an aggravating twatwaffle?
Hey, the U2 song was parodied by Weird Al Yankovic
Lucas Hackett I love Seal
I’m sorry, but Malcolm going from acting “fake crazy” to just the stern *Millions* is such an underrated part of this review. Cracks me up every time
R.I.P Joel Schumacher , your legacy will definitely live on forever.
I like Carrey's Riddler but Tommy Lee Jones could have a made a great dramatic Two-Face, a stern DA/violent gangster who blames Batman for his condition.
Also I'm still irked by the name: This should have been "Batman & Robin" and the next movie should have been called "Batman 4ever"
Chase: Who is Batman?
Nygma: Robert Pattinson
Chase: Yep totally insane
Still crazy that Pattinson is gonna go from being Edward Cullen a sparkly vampire to Batman a giant flying rodent in rubber lol. Though they both resemble gothic stuff such as Halloween
Cardinal Kid87 I think he would make a better Batman beyond then the original batman
To be fair he's become a decent actor after his Twilight days, so why not
Ace The Skylord Agreed, as long as there’s a good script and director I think he could be great, regardless if the next Batman movie sucks I doubt it’ll be because of him, just like BvS wasn’t bad because of Affleck

The Riddler's plot of stealing information and Batman's revelation being Batman and Bruce Wayne because he chooses to be and not because he has to be, are two elements that are really unique to the film. But two good elements are not enough to save the film.
Phantom9252 The plot element is interesting if it really focused on that as being the main conflict for Batman/Bruce Wayne. That was a huge problem with B: Forever and BatmanvSuperman.
They both kept introducing interesting story ideas or elements but never built on them.
Honestly this could be the plot to a Riddler centered Batman movie. Just use the Riddler's plot don't use Jim Carrie, take out Twoface. The whole plot is Riddler getting parts for his computer to hack everyone's information leaving Riddles for Batman. It could be a mystery detective movie showing off more of Batman's detective skills. similar to what they did in Sherlock Holmes with RDJ. But with them giving use a fight scene like from BvS (warehouse scene) and a scene where he takes out like 12 people similarly to the Arkham games showing off his ninja skills. Not enough movies show off his stealth skills. have Batman hack a security system to sneak into a building and Riddler hack the same system turning it back on to trap batman. There are a lot of ways they could make a great Batman movie, But the studio would probably screw it up.
IDK....Nicole Kidman at her hottest point it´s enough to me.
This film really did have all the right ingredients for a great Batman film but the wrong recipe. A film where Bruce is faced with whether Bruce or Batman defines him and whether or not he wants to be Batman forever, where he takes in Dick Grayson and tries to keep him from ending up as he did, and where the villains are Two-Face and The Riddler: perfect villains for challenging Batman's conflicted identity; that could've been a great Batman film.

Anyone else notice that riddler did his hair and wore the same suit as Bruce? Lol he’s basically cloned himself to be like Bruce Wayne so I guess his character at this point still idolizes Bruce and wants to be just like him
There's actually a book about the psychology of Batman that touches on how Nygma is portrayed in this movie, namely his obsession with Bruce. They actually bring how much he's copying Bruce's look, including Bruce's mole.
Yh Same here. He even copies Wayne when he puts on the reading glasses.
For some reason, that just makes me wish Hugh Jackman played Bruce Wayne

RIP Joel Schumacher. You may not have been the best Batman director, but you really were a decent guy.
28:21 “ ‘R’, what does that stand for?”
*Ralph.*
Gets me every time XD
1) "Seriously; Day 1 & you got caught?" Well, yeah! I mean, Bruce has training and stuff - By Ra's Al Ghoul of all people. *(See Batman Begins)* Robin doesn't.
2) Naming Robin's civilian identity "Dick"??? Worst. Vatman Franchise. Decision. *EVER!!!!*
3) How does absorption of "Sexual Fantasies" help Riddler!?!?! "Credit card numbers" & "Bank codes"?? I *Definitely* get! But "Sexual Fantasies and little white lies"??????
@@JadenMoon1475 3) Blackmail material to extort for MORE money. And to get his rocks off.

Batman: I've never fallen in love before:
Vicki and Selina: *Say Sike right now*
Love that sexual harassment PSA commercial reference. " And I don't have to take it."
"Ice puns and ass" is the best line ever
30:17 "looking like Elton John, Liberace, and Syndrome fused by Satan."
That has got to be one of the greatest descriptions Critic has ever said.
My sides hurt so much from that.

Batman: I never been Loved Before
Alfred: did you miss Selina Kyle?
Batman: who?
Alfred: Did you also miss Vicky Vale?
Batman: Who?
Joel Schumacher: dies
The whole internet: perhaps I treated you too harshly...
No we didn't.
That bit where Malcolm lifts Tamera's hand off of him and puts it onto her was perfect.
That Joel Schumacher impression is so on point
BAT-JOEL SCHUMACHER!
@@Fluffkitscripts HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This was the first Batman film I saw aged 6 and still have the vhs. Thank you for the memory Joel. RIP
Same with me! Parents got me it for my birthday at Best Buy or Fye in the Palisades Center along with Batman & Robin. Loved going to those two stores growing up and picking out DC movies, anime, or Cartoon Network shows.
