But I really was surprised at how psychological of a movie Batman Forever is. For this one it was good, 'cause that's essentially how it ends, but the result of this led to the campy and just plain boring 4th episode. In some ways you can look at this as a transition from the dark, tortured Batman to a Batman who has finally conquered his personal demons and gone on to be happier in being a man who fights crime in the night dressed up in rubber. For one thing, this is the only 'Batman' with a decent soundtrack to its name (including 2 great songs by U2 and Seal). Artistically, there were things it got wrong and didn't do as well as the others, but there were things it did so much better, too.
People also seem to forget how big of a hit it was. I think some people recollect this film and automatically associate it with Shumacher's awful second Batman attempt, Batman & Robin.
I loved the first two Batman movies, and honestly would have loved to see Burton go on to direct more entries in the series, but Joel Shumacher's Batman Forever is not at all an unwelcome change.
