Jim Carrey as Riddler

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

To many questions!

Frank Gorshin wasn't as hyper as Carey was.

Then it seems like Carrey based his acting on Gorshin instead of copying Gorshin in detail.

I'm sucking up your I.Q., vacuuming your cortex, feeding off your brain. That made me laugh so much when I was 10 years old. Now I realize it was the downfall of Batman in the eye of the general public until Batman Begins.

Fred........ BABE!!!

. LOOOOL, yeah. Well, it still makes me laugh. There was nothing inherently wrong with the portrayal, not with the tone of the movie at least. They just needed to balance it with darkness. And don't completely screw it up with the sequel.


Edit: look at my custom title.

Jim Carrey's Riddler is THE saving grace of Batman Forever.

Agreed. In 1995 Carrey was the perfect choice. He was hired to do a specific job and he did it. A problem is Jones didn't give a more nuanced and menacing performance. He instead tried to out-goofy Carrey. Nobody can out-goofy Carrey and even if they could, Two Face isn't the character to try it with.

Perfectly worded.

Couldn't have said it any better...spot on.
