For all of its shortcomings, however, there is one character Batman Forever got absolutely right: Chris O'Donnell's Robin. Plus, the movie really could have done more with Nicole Kidman's Chase Meridian. What's more, Val Kilmer's Batman didn't quite captivate audiences the same way Michael Keaton's version of the Dark Knight had just a few years prior. And, fair enough, the film was a bit too hammy for its own good at times, as were some of its key characters like Jim Carrey's Riddler and Tommy Lee Jones' Two-Face. While it's certainly not the worst on-screen adaptation of the character, the film drew criticism for forgoing many of the darker elements Tim Burton utilized in his own Batman duology, opting instead for a more marketable, kid-friendly approach. As we enter 2020, we also near the 25th birthday of director Joel Schumacher's 1995 DC film Batman Forever. Ever since its initial release a quarter-century ago, Batman Forever has proven to be a controversial film among Batman fans.
