Typically viewed as the beginning of the end for the early Batman franchise, Batman Forever was the answer to its dark and depressing predecessor in Batman Returns.
With a star-studded cast including Val Kilmer, Jim Carrey and Nicole Kidman, it certainly brought audience interest back to the happenings of Gotham City, at least temporarily.
One of our hosts in particular reckons this is much more enjoyable than it gets credit for.
