9. Batman Forever
($297,690,852.06)
It’s always shocking to me how well Batman Forever did financially. It shocked me when we did the Batman list, and it shocks me now.
Batman Forever is the first Schumacher film, and it honestly follows the Burton trajectory. The first film is a little bit stylized, and the second is over the rails and into Crazy Town. But don’t let that sound like Batman Forever is good. It’s better than the …and Robin movie, that’s for sure, but that’s like saying that getting the flu is better than getting struck by lightning. It’s true, but that don’t make it a compliment.
In another world, and with better direction, Jim Carrey could’ve been a decent Riddler and Tommy Lee Jones might not have been the worst-ever Two-Face. Batman is pretty not great, though, and Robin is just straight-up bad.
What a great on-film introduction to that character, folks. Wonder why we haven’t seen him again since this movie and its sequel.
