Jim Carrey's comments are complimentary toward Dano's acting ability and magnanimously respectful toward The Batman, but the acting legend distances himself from the film's darkness and brutality. Related: Riddler vs Penguin: Who's The Better Villain In The Batman?Ĭarrey's reaction to his successor's darker portrayal (via UNILAD) helps explain why Batman Forever's Riddler was the way he was. For some, the memory of a hip-swinging, face-stretching Jim Carrey stalking Gotham City like a bright green flamingo is one of the undesirable hallmarks from Batman's Schumacher era. Regularly singled out for criticism is Carrey's Riddler performance which, over the past 28 years, has stood accused of bombastic, scenery-chewing ridiculousness. Joel Schumacher's Batman movies are often the subject of ridicule, and while you'll struggle defending Batman & Robin, 1995's Batman Forever gets unjustly tarnished by association. Curious, then, that DC's previous big screen Riddler - Jim Carrey in Batman Forever - couldn't be more different.
