Major Issues Podcast Ep 386: Batman Forever Recap and Review

ComicBook CliqueComment

In this episode, the hosts revisit the neon-soaked, over-the-top world of Batman Forever in honor of its 30th anniversary! From Val Kilmer’s stoic take on the Dark Knight to Jim Carrey’s unhinged Riddler and Tommy Lee Jones’ chaotic Two-Face, we explore what worked, what didn’t, and why this Joel Schumacher-directed spectacle remains one of the most divisive Batman films ever made. Was it a misunderstood gem or the beginning of the Bat-franchise’s descent into camp? Tune in as we dissect the film’s legacy, behind-the-scenes drama, and the tantalizing myth of the Schumacher Cut. Holy anniversary, Batman!
