As the caped crusader also deals with tortured memories of his parents' murder, he has a new romance, with psychologist Chase Meridian (Nicole Kidman). We have a feeling 'The Batman' will stand up well to the test of time, with this version of the Riddler being up there with Heath Ledger's Joker in terms of best comic book movie villains of all time.Batman (Val Kilmer) faces off against two foes: the schizophrenic, horribly scarred former District Attorney Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones), and the Riddler (Jim Carrey), a disgruntled ex-Wayne Enterprises inventor seeking revenge against his former employer by unleashing his brain-sucking weapon on Gotham City's residents. While 'Batman Forever' is goofy all the way through, it might be somewhat cringey to watch in hindsight. Batman may mitigate the damage, but it's obvious the city will never be the same, and more than likely, we'll continue seeing the character's influence in ' The Batman 2.'Īdditionally, Paul Dano's antagonist feels like it'll age better. He's successful in his attempt to flood Gotham and have his army of Riddler loyalists attack Gotham citizens at the arena. While both Riddlers wind up locked out at the end of their respective stories, Paul Dano's villain still manages to score a victory.

On top of that, Dano is far more effective in his goals in the film.

It has much higher critics' and audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes, so it already has that going for it. Suffice to say, Paul Dano is in the far better Batman movie.
