Director Joel Schumacher inherited the Batman franchise from Tim Burton
and began steering it in the campier direction of the Sixties television
show with this third installment. First-time Batman/Bruce Wayne (Val
Kilmer), in his only outing as the Caped Crusader, is effectively
brooding as he ponders strange dreams about his parents' death and
escapes his own near-demise at the hands of Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones), a
former district attorney driven insane and turned into a master
criminal when a
gangster
throws acid in his face. Meanwhile, as sexy psychologist Chase Meridian
(Nicole Kidman) tries to analyze and seduce both Bruce Wayne and Batman,
Wayne Enterprises employee Edward Nygma (Jim Carrey) reacts badly to
getting fired, using his self-invented mind-energy device to transform
into the super-intelligent Riddler. The Riddler teams up with Two-Face
to bring down Batman and drain the minds of Gotham City residents with
his device, while Batman gets some much-needed help in the form of
circus performer Dick Grayson (Chris O'Donnell), out for vengeance after
being orphaned by Two-Face.
