Film Review - Batman Forever

Finally! It took three movies, but Batman finally sees a shrink! Of course, most shrinks think it's unethical to sleep with their patients, but what the hell, everyone needs a hobby, right?

Well, Bat Fans, this is a much better movie than the first two. Is it the complete facelift Bruce Wayne got that makes him look like Jim Morrison rather than that Mr. Mom puss he was sporting in the first two? Or is it the change of directors? I'd guess more the latter than the former. Tim Burton is still producing this flick, but Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky isn't at the helm this time, and the depression factor is way down.

The villains this time around stay in their place and remain supporting characters, and we add a Robin for the sidekick angle. Brucy would like to keep this kid out of trouble, but then everyone has to have a hobby, right?

Jammed Pipe!
