The opening lines of this film are: Alfred "Can I persuade you to take a sandwich with you, sir?" Batman: "I'll get drive-thru."
And then it goes downhill from there, in a neon mess. The first two Burton films were great - this isn't even in the same room. It's cartoonish, badly acted and lazily directed. The whole effort is unsure whether or not it wants to be semi - serious or cheesily camp,and as a result it fails badly at both.
Kilmer is wooden, Carrey is irritating and Kidman is a pointless romantic subplot. Tommy Lee Jones as Two - Face is a bad Joker rip - off. The addition of Robin was clearly designed to appeal to pre - adolescent boys. Let me just say I was a pre - adolescent boy in 1995 and I thought Robin was, as the Americans say, lame. As for the nipples and codpiece on the Batsuit . . .well, you might want to check out websites other than IMDb if that's the sort of thing that floats your boat.
