Last night I gave this movie a second watch with a more critical eye, and I realized that, although I still think the movie is an overall failure, the story in itself isn't that bad. I think it might have had more potential if they had used someone else but Jim Carrey as Enigma >_< I think he exagerrated, as always, and made the movie much too funny than Batman is supposed to be. I think the way Two-Face is played is another minus of the movie. I'm probably being influenced by Aaron Eckhart's role in The Dark Knight, but I think they should have tried and make a darker kind of psychopat, not a weird and funny one. Maybe if they would have kept things a bit more on the darker side, the movie would have been much better than it is, like I said, I think the story has potential. And I wonder why people think Robin ruined the movie. He is a nice addition to the story, specially since they made him a story pretty similar with Bruce Wayne's. The only movie Robin ruined was Batman and Robin, if you ask me

The story was good but with this film and those that followed it went to campy like the original TV series, it didn't feel so dark and brooding no more. The main thing that didn't help with that was the Technicolor Gotham City! Also know as Vegas!
Gotham City is meant to be a dark brooding metropolis, not a brightly light wild child entertainment capital!

One thing that drew my attention: when Dick wants to leave Bruce's house, Bruce tells him that the circus is already gone to Metropolis. The Metropolis (the one from Superman), or just lack of inspiration for a name

This movie failed on so many levels I can't even begin to get into it. But I will say one thing. Bat-Nipples.
