In this regard, the films were a success. Schumacher's Batman movies were designed to reorient the franchise towards a younger, 1990s audience, while still honoring the aesthetic and tone they inherited.
Carrey might not be today's choice for the character, but he was perfect in the 1990s.īatman Forever and Batman & Robin might not hold up with a modern rewatch, but it is important to remember their purpose at the time. Carrey's performance provides children with a villain they could truly love to hate, while also detailing the character's downfall and descent into madness.
Carrey's Riddler matches the cartoonish tone which permeates Schumacher's Batman movies, offering a Riddler much more animated than before, and certainly not a Riddler as dark as in The Batman. Jim Carrey is often lauded for "stealing the show" in Batman Forever, in a performance even more memorable than Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face.
