Solving the riddles and deducing the Riddler's identity was the highlight of this film.

You gotta admit it’s bad ass when he says “What do you suggest, Alfred? By sea... or by air?” And reveals the Bat Plane.

I've always loved the shot of the Riddler's question mark in the sky transforming Batman's bat signal. It just demonstrates how much the Riddler loves to play cat and mouse with Batman and that wherever there's a question mark, the Riddler isn't far away...

Batman Forever might not have been that good of a Batman movie, but this is a pretty good scene, showing off Batman's detective skills.

Bruce: Were all the bat suits destroyed Alfred? Alfred: All but the new prototype with the experimental MEGA ASS feature. But it hasn’t been tested sir... Bruce: Tonight.... mmmmmmm...

1:21 - Bruce: “All the Batsuits destroyed, Alfred?” Alfred: “All except but the prototype with the sonar modifications you invented, but you haven’t tested it yet.” Bruce: “Tonight’s a good night.”

Despite of the silly tone of the film, Val does a pretty good Batman/Bruce portrait.

Val has that Bruce charm.

"As far as I'm concerned, that's Gotham's ass".

Corny one liners and wackiness aside, these scenes with Bruce and Alfred trying to figure out the meaning behind Ridder's puzzles before eventually learning his true identity was the highlight of the movie, it allowed us to see another side to Batman and that's his crime solving detective skills. I absolutely enjoy watching all of this as it showed that a Batman story doesn't have to always be over the top with no need to rely on constant action

There's also a return address from Nigma industries, but your way works too.

No matter how much people hate this movie, it had some memorable scenes and definitely some great moments. Batman and Robin becoming partners and shaking hands is surely one of the best moments in Batman's live action history.

1:42 Val's Batman was LEGIT. FUCKIN LOVE THIS MOVIE!

1:45 "What do you suggest, Alfred?" Alfred: "Your Batplane can turn into a bloody submarine. Still bother to ask, Master Wayne?"

"R. What's that stand for?" You tell me after solving that riddle.

2:08 on my planet it stands for hope

Well, the movie did touch on Batman's detective skills

'you really are quite bright, despite what people say' that's something only Alfred would say

Batman Forever and The Dark Knight are my favourite Batman movies.

Batman truly is the worlds greatest detective. Who else could have figured out what all the riddles meant when you put the numbers together.

I'll always have a soft spot for this movie. I love the utterly chaotic performances of both Carrey and TLJ. Go back to it once a year or so and I'm always entertained.

R.I.P Pat Hingle & Michael Gough

I used to draw that Riddler logo all over my school books as a kid lol

"WHERE'S THAT COMING FROM??" A laser is a straight line Gordon. God I genuinely love this movie

OK, so, Riddler turning the Bat Symbol into the dot of a giant❓over Gotham, thus symbolically dominating Batman, was actually a really good idea . . .

And that is why Riddler will never defeat Batman. Batman's too smart for him.

Robin teaming up with Batman!!

This scene is particularly funny in spanish, where the character of the Riddler is already called "Enigma".

Always thought that Val was the best Bruce/Batman in any of these 89-97 Batman films. This movie had a far stronger focus on Batman's origin than the Burton films and obviously Batman and Robin and it did a good job emphasizing the psychological issues that Bruce had while highlighting his detective skills and ability to get out of tough situations. Forever has its issues, but this is the only Burton/Schumacher film where Bruce is a main character instead of being in the background for the villains.

Michael Gough is best Alfred ever

Kilmer is the most underrated Batman!!

Dick Grayson should have worn the Robin outfit in Batman & Robin instead of the Nightwing outfit.

Kilmer played the best Damaged Bruce Wayne, Clooney played the best humitarian, playboy Bruce Wayne because thats who he is in real life.

"Computer generated forgery"

I wish they made a new movie involving the Riddler. I always loved the riddles and how the heroes would pick it apart, trying to figure out what they are.

I can't lie putting all the riddles together to make a single riddle did seem very smart

This scene shows a part that not a lot of recent batman movies failed to show Bruce Wayne being a detective first before being batman.

0:57 Alfred: 18 is R! M.R.E! Bruce: Meal Ready to Eat. Alfred, let's have dinner. We're never going to solve these clues on an empty stomach. 🤣🤣

1:36 and that's where Schumacher started getting weird

Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na Bat-ass!

1:35 shame......

This is the only batman movie pre 2000s that got the detective aspect of batman right batman 89 and returns are just Tim Burton films reskinned to be batman movies that doesnt make them bad films theyre refreshing to watch after watching the genre be so generic for so long and major props to the art department for getting the look of the comics just right that's not easy

That sonar suit is so badass !!

The ass shot! I'm crying LMAAOOO

I can't understand how Batman couldn't see the fact that Nigma was the Riddler, unlike him Nigma is himself both in and out of costume while Bruce is able to keep both of his persona's separate so you'd never really see him as Batman or vice versa/ So why did it take this pretty elaborate one in a million guess using the riddles to figure it out?

The scene has the same air of campy charm that the 60's tv-show had.

Best Scene of the Movie!

As much hate as this movie gets, I love it. I love the whacky comical style while still being true to the character. Batman and Robin went a bit too far but still great.

I love how humble Michael Gough is as Alfred

18 is R. M-R-E. Mystery. Another name to mystery: Enigma. Mr. E. Nygma. Edward Nygma (a.k.a. The Riddler).

Alfred, Gordon and Robin are Batman's greatest allies.

1:35 T H I C C

Val Kilmer was a decent Bruce Wayne and Batman.

Weirdly enough, Val Kilmer replacing Michael Keaton as Batman made the character feel younger. This film would have made a lot of more sense to be a Prequel to Batman 1989 by that logic. (Michael Keaton & Tim Burton apparently wanted Batman 3 to be a Prequel, show Batman’s origin.)

How does everybody think the riddles in Batman Forever compare to the riddles in The Batman? I personally feel most of Batman Forever's riddles were tougher as riddles but the puzzle element in The Batman and the fact that he didn't always get it right away made it better experience.

Title makes it sound like Batman literally spent forever solving the Riddler's clues. 🤔

"You really are quite bright, despite what people say." -- Alfred Pennyworth

reading some comments here saying that the solution of the riddle is bs. 😂 First it says they are 5 things people use every day. And that you will find it in “a tennis court” not literally the place but the phrase. The only thing in there that is 5 and used every day are vowels. So now he has the key to solve the whole riddle. A relation between numbers and letters. Since the solution of the previous riddles were just decoys , it’s the numbers which are the clue. 13 / 1 / 8 / 5 13 M. 18 R 5 E . MRE .. Mr. E. Mystery : Enigma . Mr E Nygma . Edward Nygma . Obviously regular folks who have no skill solving riddles like you or me would take weeks to solve it . But Batman is a detective.

Mr. E Engima Edward Nigma .... You've got to give screenwriters Lee Batcher, Janet Scott Batchler and Akiva Goldsman credit.

The green question mark was the biggest middle finger the Riddler could throw

1:35 Bat ass

The greatest detective using gematria and numerology to solve riddles.

Although not my favorite, Val Kilmer had really good chemistry with this Alfred 👌

Bruce Wayne was aware that Edward Nygma was developing Riddler technology.

I hope they release "The Schumacher Cut", which is much darker than the theatrical cut. But they needed to sell happy meals to make their profits.

“How about Mr E?” “Mystery!” “And another name for Mystery is?” “Enigma!” “And he’s with Two-Face, that’s part of the Riddle” “Two is ‘B’, sir” “Enigma… Nygma…B” “Nygma B, Master Bruce?” “Nygma Balls.”

The sad thing is that Alfred's actor Michael Gough worked as Alfred in four movies under three Batmen. When he died , only Michael Keaton pays tribute to him.

I always thought val kilmer was a good bruce wayne and a good batman

1:31 yes! 1:32 YES! 1:33 YES!!! 1:34 HUH?!?

0:10 Catwoman, who the hell do you think? 1:13 There's also the return address label that says Nigma Tech Corporations, but yeah, your way of figuring out the riddles works too.

Batman being a detective

Originally he was sending out riddles to Bruce but when he found out he was batman he just thought "Eh, Ill give him the last one, its the least I can do"

I think the camera stand lost one of its legs before filming some of these scenes.

Robin: "I can't promise I won't kill Harvey" Batman: "Naaawwww that's fineeeeeee"

‘R’ what does that stand for? Robin. as in Robbing? You do robbery now?

"And whats another word for mystery?" "Conundrum!" "...no alfred. Focus and try again." "Puzzle?" "...im just gonna go suit up" "Quandary?" *bat facepalm*

The butt shot wasn't necessary

It took me up until this week as to why they decided to merge 1 and 8 together. It always felt so random and lazy. Then it dawned on me, their answers are match and chess pawns. Chess match. With that logic they could go together and with them in reverse order it would take a level head to figure that out.

Val Kilmes slightly chances his vpives from normal to very low. That is absolutely awesome. His performance as Bruce Wayne and Batman are just magnificent.

Bad as so much of the Schumacher films are, they do have heart & some truly underrated performances. Val Kilmer's Bruce Wayne is actually quite good (as he was probably still in Tombstone gear). Jim Carrey's Riddler performance is on par - ironically - with Frank Gorshin's. Uma Thurman's Poison Ivy is STILL badass, I would drop her version of that character into ANY piece of BatMedia, confidently. And, of course, Michael Gough & Pat Hingle were wonderful as always.

Alfred: your quite bright despite what everyone says. Batman:.......bitch

Mr.E? Ah, say it fast, it's mystery. Enigma.

Watching this scene, I've never understood the deduction part, it makes no sense.

if he doesn't fight joker and have romance with catwoman that's not batman...except for Val Kilmer. his batman is the only one that didn't need those characters to shine. he only needs beat riddler and like his predecessor and succesor (Keaton and Bale) be dark and serious (like batman). and besides thinking well he is replacing Michael Keaton because is the sequel so in way his batman already fought joker and have romance with catwoman. so he is batman (with Michael Keaton and Christian Bale and as i can see Ben Affleck who only needs is catwoman because he have joker now) Clooney was the one who fuck it up he wasn't dark, serious or dark. he wasn't even a good replacement of Michael Keaton and Val Kilmer

Considering the Riddler has to keep projecting it for the question mark to remain in the sky, the police could have just looked for the source of the laser for clues of his whereabouts

Man Sherlock Holmes would be impressed

I want to become the riddler

Mr. E ........ Mystery ........ Enigma ........ Mr. E. Nigma ........ Edward Nigma

This was my favorite thing about Val Kilmer Batman, HE SHOWED HIS MIND IN PROBLEM SOLVING AND ANALYSIS SKILLS, NOT JUST CRIME SCENE AND DETECTIVE WORK, which is something lacking in all the other interpretations, including Keaton and Bale, Keaton just comes off all dark and broody, where as Bale is more concerned about keeping his voice as deep as he can get it, Kilmer doesn't get enough credit for showing this trait of Batman off.

Riddler signal is awesome

The title is like "Batman solves riddles forever"

*knows exactly where the biggest industrial development just took place in Gotham with a direct line streaming from the source* **green streams literally fly in the air and the media covers it to everyone** “Where is that coming from”!?!?

I wonder how many times it took Bruce to get the batwing out of the cave 😆 (had to fly side ways through the cave) Bruce: Keep hitting that Corridor, Alfred. Alfred: Is that your fourth attempt, sir? Bruce: I lost count.

This hits differently now

Damn Bats got that dump truck

I was Riddler for Halloween when I was 12.

as a kid i loved the riddler logo with the bat signal

Just when we got a Batman suit with no nipples on it, we have to get an ass shot of Batman to ruin the moment. Well I guess I should not complain too much, at least we don't have to deal with both at the same time like in the sequel.

Came here right after watching The Batman (2022)!! Awsome movie!! But they say the Batman never did a detective work… I always remember this scene And… here we go…

That's some pretty whack gematria right there! haha!
