Batman Forever is a film about the superhero theme. In the film, Batman clashed with Two-Face and Mark Quiz (a brilliant but mad scientist because of inventor: reading other thoughts which was self-invented), with the help of an young acrobat, who lose his family due to the harm of Two-Face and a beautiful female psychiatrist.
Joel Schumacher submits to the Wagnerian bombast with an overly busy surface, and the script by Lee and Janet Scott Batchler and Akiva Goldsman basically runs through the formula as if it's a checklist.
As for Two-Face, my favorite Batman baddie on the printed page, Tommy Lee Jones makes a complete mockery of the character with a broad performance that's difficult to stomach.
The gulf between the dark universe Burton's film set up and the tremendously silly camp world that [Batman Forever was] hunting for was too great to hybridise the two.
Under Joel Schumacher's helm, this third chapter is disappointing--despite a new Batman (the vain Val Kilmer), new femme, new villains and characters, new costumes and even new Batmobile.
The film recovers from that initial confusion to get stronger as it goes along, and to shape up as a free-form playground for its various masquerading stars.

By now, Jim Carrey is doing sarcastic takes on his own sarcasm, and there's something funny and a little scary in that.
As for Kilmer, he gamely steps into the dual Batman/Wayne role but can't get much traction, finding, as Michael Keaton had, that beyond a stern jaw there's not much to be done with it, since the suit does most of the work.

The second sequel to Tim Burton's 1989 blockbuster makes its predecessors appear models of subtlety and coherence.
