- Origin story
Villain's plot:
Two Face and The Riddler team up to defeat Batman and take over Gotham, all while using Riddler’s mind device to discover their secrets.
Rankings:
Busting in through the skylight during Nygma’s celebration.
Val Kilmer made for a decent Bruce Wayne, Jim Carrey was out of his damn mind as the Riddler, and we all know how TLJ didn’t want to be there… and it showed.
This is where they started to get silly. At this point, they new they were selling toys, and differing costumes meant more versions to sell.
Again, good soundtrack—U2, Seal, etc.—but the theme song fails to live up to the Elfman classic.
Notes
Not as bad as you might remember. Val Kilmer was a good Bruce Wayne, it’s just that writing wasn’t great and it was aimed more at children.
Oh, and kung fu laundry.
