As if it isn’t the inner child who wants to watch movies. But, there is something totally naive about pretending that inside every “Serious” movie lover, critic or student there isn’t an enthusiastic, eager child who loves things just because they do. Now, I do understand that just because I liked Batman Forever as a kid doesn’t disqualify it from being fucking terrible, and this is very much true. So I lied to you just now: I don’t really like Batman Forever, I love it. I know it so well I can recite large chunks of it, and it has sunk so deeply into my subconscious that I quote it all the time without even realizing it. My fate was sealed because I not only loved Batman, but I also loved Val Kilmer ( Tombstone and Top Gun were favourites), and I watched Batman Forever so many times I destroyed my VHS tape. In June of 1995 when Batman Forever was released I was 9, and it was my first live-action Batman movie. I was too young for Tim Burton’s Batman and Batman Returns, so instead, I fed my love of Batman with The Animated Series. ![]() Well, I genuinely like Batman Forever (somebody has to!). Seeing as most people hate Batman Forever, you’re probably wondering why I would bother writing about such a bad movie. As for Batman, I use Batman to refer to scenes wherein he acts as Batman, and Bruce when he’s not in costume or to describe his mental/emotional experience. Just out of strange personal habit I tend to use the alter-ego names Robin, Two-Face and Riddler except when refering to scenes *before* Edward becomes Riddler, when I use Edward. A quick note about names: the four main characters have two names – Bruce/Batman, Dick/Robin, Harvey/Two-Face, and Edward/Riddler.
