Why, when Carrey gets all the minds off tv-zombies, doesn't realize Batman's true identity sooner is beyond me. I know Carrey was payed MegaBucks to carry this flimsy film, but this is no reason to make him the only star of this film. Batman (played by a boring, Val Kilmer) plays master to a vengeful Robin who wants revenge on a flat villan, Two-Face (underplayed by Tommy Lee Jones), who is working with the Riddler - played by an OTT Jim Carrey (I personally would have gone for Robin Williams, but I guess Williams is too old - he's probably fits "the Mad Hatter" rather than the Riddler). The film lacks anything other than a flimsy plot of revenge. The background song "Kiss from a Rose" provided by Seal is romantically well placed - but it isn't in the same OTT style as the film - unlike the U2 version. The film starts off pretty well, a helicopter crash into a statue of libery look-a-like - with Batman trapped inside, struggling to get outside before it crashed and blew up - it kinda took me back to old James Bond movies. It is amazing that such an actor can be put off a film such as this. Was is Schumacher? Apparantly Keaton had doubts over wanting to do another Batman movie and after meeting Schumacher dropped out. Burton is an amazing director and brought the best out of Keaton(when batman was out he became the coolest man around - and now he's not even given an eyelid!). It has been a rather successful comic book for DC Comics, it seems.Īs the fire rages at Royal Auto, Harvey Dent lies trapped inside, unconscious and in danger.I liked the first two batman movies, they were very, very dark, broodish and more in line to the actual dark comic book style. It's only a six-issue limited series, but there is no reason it couldn't continue in other forms.

Batman '89 #3 by Sam Hamm and Joe Quinonesĭrake Winston, the first Robin of the Batman #89 universe. In this week's Batman 89 #3, we learn his full name.

So not Dick Grayson or Jason Todd… Batman '89 #2 by Sam Hamm and Joe Quinonesīut also not Tim Drake. And in previous issues of the comic, the young fellow is going by the name of Drake. But now the Batman '89 comic book written by Batman movie screenwriter Sam Hamm and drawn by Joe Quinones from DC Comics, intended to be set in the Tim Burton version of Batman, is introducing a Robin based on Marlon Wayans, as well as a Harvey Dent/Two Face drawn to look like Billy Dee Williams.
