Batman Forever, not bad.

When compared to Batman & Robin, Forever is a masterpiece.
 
Movie had some Englehart-esque moments which I loved because Englehart and Rogers' 70's run on 'tec is like my favorite Batman run of all time. For that alone it gets points despite the campiness (The 50's/60's Sam Gerard Two-Face, the "I'm sucking on your cortex" song, Don "The Dragon" Wilson and the Neon Kids etc.). But the campier moments were alright with me since I grew up on re-runs of the 60's shows and by the time Forever dropped (I was 12) I was already pretty familiar with most Batman stuff from the 30's-70's (thank God for anthologies and reprints).

I think the psychological exploration of Bruce Wayne dealing with his demons and coming to grips with his duality was very well done. To me it was some of the best Bruce Wayne stuff in all 5 films. I have to say that I never found Kidman hot prior to this movie so yeah she was bad (in a good way) but Pfeiffer is still the isht.
