Sice Joel came, the series began to look like the comics and had too many characters. I didn't really like it. The casting was weak except for... r and Two-Face. Full Review

Ridiculous, convoluted and often BORING. If not for Jim Carrey I'd give it zero stars.

It's an art-direction, Dolby-sound, special-effects extravaganza, a grand-scale effort that's more awe-inspiring than completely successful as entertainment.Full Review

Schumacher's method is to use a lighter touch, to stay closer to the cartoon that Bob Kane created for DC Comics in 1939 and to temper Burton's nightmare world with an accessible, brightly colored TV palette.Full Review

Although the film's frenetic rhythm is reminiscent of an "Indiana Jones" picture, visually Schumacher directs it like a musical, turning each image into eye candy, weaving one lush set piece into the next, as if he were the Vincente Minnelli of blockbusters.Full Review

It's lighter, brighter, funnier, faster-paced, and a whole lot more colorful than before.Full Review

Working as much like a circus ringmaster as a director, Joel Schumacher has brought several critical qualities to the mix, starting with much more of a pop culture sensibility and a sense of fun than Tim Burton, who directed the first two pictures, and he has a stylish visual sensibility as well.Full Review
