First he begins a warped campaign to become Mayor, helped by millionaire businessman Max Shreck (Christopher Walken); next, he undertakes a mission to murder every first born son in Gotham - a plan which will avenge his own beginnings. This film steps away from the dark gothic Burton Gotham in favour for a more colourful neon light approach. In BATMAN FOREVER, Gotham City is once again under siege, this time from the mind-controlling Riddler and his diabolical associate Harvey Two-Face. The films started with their first release in 1989 with Tim Burton's Batman, starring Michael Keaton as the title character.

To make matters worse, the venomous Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman) decides to join forces with Freeze, so making an almost undefeatable double-whammy of a team.

Arnie's name is 1st up followed by Clooney and a sense that the makers want to push the names in this film to make up for its short commings. He begins a warped campaign to become mayor of Gotham, helped by millionaire businessman Max Shreck (Christopher Walken) and undertakes a mission to murder every firstborn son in the city - a plan which will avenge his own beginnings.

Meanwhile, the caped crusader is joined in his fight by new sidekick Robin (Chris O'Donnell), whose trapeze-artist family have recently been slain by Two-Face. The streets of Gotham City are no longer safe for criminals, who are being picked off by a masked vigilante in a rubber suit - dubbed 'Batman' by the press.
