All the time I hear alot of people saying they generally like Forever. I agree. I love it. Now it's not perfect and when I first saw it I cringed at alot, but I also liked some of the changes aswell.
It felt like it opened up a bit more. I was happy to finally see Robin brought to the big screen.
Now as for the neon, and Two-Face over doing it at times, I don't like that but it's still fun.
It is no where near as bad as B&R.
It's more so a tribute to the 50's comics in a way, and Dick Sprang's giant furniture type stuff.
Yet it delved into Bruce's psyche in a way that hadn't been done before.
But, all in all Batman Forever isn't a bad Batman movie, and at the time it was a huge spectacle and a big Summer Blockbuster.
I really love this movie to be honest. Just too bad another director couldn't be brought in for part 4.
I think if they would've cleaned up a few things the movies would've continued. for awhile there I thought they'd be the next James Bond franchise, they'd keep going with new cast members and new directors.
Hopefully that'll happen this time. Just keep going, and maybe new directors who aren't afraid to delve into more of the fantasy side of the Batman mythos, not campy, just be more faithful, 'cause Nolan seems to think to be more faithful is campy, well that's wrong and stupid.
Maybe a new director can bring back Ra's and have the Lazarus pits, and maybe have Mr. Freeze, with the cool way he was done in the animated series.
I think four should've had a new director and been done with just Freeze like that, in 5 Scarecrow with Tim Burton returning, I know he wouldn't have but it's my fantasy, and Jeff Goldblum playing The Scarecrow. 6 would have Bane, and by that time The Rock would have been famous enough to play him, I think he'd be good at it.

. Anyways, It's not a bad film. I love Batman Forever I think its awesome and really entertaining. I always get upset when it is lumped in with Batman & Robin. Batman Forever is a way darker film than that and the two shouldn't be seen as the same (campy, nipples, neon) while BF did have that it was to a lesser extent than B&R (atleast I think so).
