  • You forgot that in the 90s, fans also got an excellent animated series that was on every afternoon after school that the campy movies were up against.
  • I'm with ya on Jim Carrey and Uma Thurman's performances.. over the top, chewing the scenery, a lot of fun.
  • @SupaCoopa999
    RIP Joel Schumacher. He really did make some amazing movies and I’m glad this video is here as...a bit of a eulogy to his filmography.
  • RIP mr. schumacher 😓 Your movies weren't masterpieces but they still were entertaining. And that's something to be proud of. Batman forever is my guilty pleasure.
  • @scrambled5948
    Another point: it's quite clear that the Lego Batman games are inspired by the Schumacher films and those games are incredible
  • @cieproject2888
    Patrick in February: I need.... Hotter Takes! Everyone in July: Well... it's not like he didn't warn us
  • They improved with age because they are not formulaic. They are very original takes and the production design is freaking beautiful.
  • @rey5118
    Thank you for calling him “Bill Finger’s Batman.”
  • @Pajali
    Schumacher’s Batman and the 90’s Spider-man show jointly cemented my enduring love of puns. Even the groaners (like, everything Mr. Freeze says) make me smile. These movies knew exactly what they wanted to be, and I love them for it.
  • My biggest problem with these movies: the titles. The third movie should be titled “Batman & Robin”. The fourth movie should be titled “Batman 4Ever”
  • @noirsociety
    To me, Wesley Snipe's Blade was the true catalyst which truly influenced future comic book movies.
  • @Doofball3
    The Crow and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were both excellent comic book - film adaptations from this time period.
  • @TravisPilgrim
    The Riddler has always been my favorite super villain and it's all because of Jim Carrey's performance. God I love that version of the character.
  • @kealanover7359
    “The villains aren’t misunderstood damaged outcasts” said with a shot of Mr Freeze who actually was a misunderstood damaged outcast as he was doing everything for his sick wife. I know this video is in defence of Batman and Robin but I feel dirty doing the same thing
  • @kipper1668
    the "how about slippery when wet" line made me laugh out loud tbh
  • @petergriffin355
    I do love this idea of many different versions of Batman. I love how there’s a Nolan version, a Burton version, Schumacher, Snyder, 60’s, the animated series, tons of comics, lego Batman. It just goes on and on and never ends

    I was obsessed with B&R when I was little. I loved the sets and the crazy colours and remade Ivy's lair for my barbie dolls. As for Batman Forever I still think it had the best film introspective to Bruce as a character. Val Kilmer wasn't the most convincing Batman but he's the best Bruce IMO.
