That "Bruce Wayne IS Jim Morrison" joke with both Val Kilmer Pictures is one of your recent best

"The segments were filmed before Linkara's split with Channel Awesome" Ouch.

Linkara, you are mistaken. Schumacher DOES know the word "subtlety." He just only *acknowledges* it when its dowsed in kerosene and flames across the LA hills with Metallica and Black Sabbath playing in the back on full blast.

"But for me, it was Monday..." And yet, I always watch them on Tuesdays.

I just realize Chase Merriden is basically a sane Harley Quinn. Wiggy! Also I'm bummed Sugar and Spice never made it into the comics since they'd be great in _Gotham City Sirens._

Joel Shumacher understood subtlety in "Falling Down".

I find it funny this comes out the same day as the Sonic Movie Trailer, which has Jim Carrey as the villain

Something I just realized: wouldn’t it have made more sense for Batman and Robin and this movie to switch titles? Think about it the latter is more appropriate for this movie while B&R is about family and legacy.

Ah yes, the people’s champion-STEVE! Good thing Marik isn’t involved in this contest.

The second the first part ends this pops up. Either Linkara is VERY good at when to upload or he’s watching me. Stop watching me.

ah so his next review is street fighter: the movie: the comic: the game

I really did love the art design of the various riddles in the movie, and they nicely evolved in complexity as the Riddler got more cash and resources.

"You painted a blender green and stuck some fins on it. I would've never thought of that. Though personally I think you should've painted it black or, maybe dark gray. Really dark gray, like the hole in my soul."

Round one of the Contest of Champions has ended, 16 participants remain, but one Champion must win in order to obtain the gauntlet! Who will win? Next time on AT4W Super!!

Linkaras analysis of Bruce here is even more interesting in light of the Harley Quinn animated series

Wait, did the comic leave out my favorite part of the movie? "You're entrance was good, his was better".

Honestly Batman forever is a huge guilty pleasure for me. I know its bad now but it was the first Batman movie I ever saw as a 90's kid. Also I love Jim Carrey.

I've gotta say; having that Batmobile light up red instead of blue makes a big difference. I kinda dig it. Also, the toy of that Batmobile also had wings that split. I had one for years.

0:35- They also did that in the Gotham TV series. Batman and Catwoman is one of my favorite comic book couples next to Lois & Clark. 2:21- In the movie, the Batmobile shot a grappling hook onto a gargoyle on the top of a building at the dead end of an ally, allowing it to drive up on said building. It was later made fun of in the New Batman Adventures episode, "Legends of the Dark Knight." 7:17- They later said in Batman Begins the difference between justice and revenge. ...BTW, Batman Begins was the last Batman film to have a comic adaptation. 10:13- Damn, and I thought they would bang...HARD. 15:18- *OF COURSE!*

About Two-Face continually flipping the coin until he gets the result that he wants: one fan-theory states that he flips the coin every time he can get a clean shot on his target. Yes, it does keep his intent of wanting to pull the trigger but it at least follows his internal logic of not shooting when the coin lands against his intent.

That’s a very interesting look at the 3 Batman movies having some kind of character arc. It’s something that I’ve never noticed before.

Wow, I actually own this comic. My comic collection is super tiny so this doesn't happen often. This is an extra special ATFW episode for me.

I really like what you said about revenge and how worthless it can be and how its only temporary fix.

I think you put more thought into these movies than the actual writers.

As someone that owns a Ryu headband, come on Linkara you totally need to do the entire review in a gi.

Now I'm waiting for a cameo from The Dom this month, since he is the adaptation guy!

I'm really disappointed that this comic didn't include... THE BIG RIDDLE. Even the terrible Batman Forever video game had that.

OMG Linkara is gonna review the comic about the game about the movie about the game!!

I love how no one questions how the hell Harvey changed races in between movies

A confused movie results in a confused comic adaptation -- which gets even more confused once you start reordering scenes, cutting down character arcs, and generally being kind of silly. I do like the inadvertent character arc for Bruce Wayne here, though. As you say, the movies ended up being all about him going from "I'm going to be Batman to avenge my parents deaths" to "I'm going to be Batman to truly help people." A shame that the quality kept going down. And that Bruce's love interests just kept getting shallower in the later films. Oof, saying he's never truly been in love after the romance with Selina -- harsh. I'm glad that you still have permission to use the news segments for your storyline -- you guys did a great job with them. I love seeing them pop up. And always nice to see 90s Dude make an appearance -- especially when he gets to show off some of his tech smarts. :) Good stuff!

Forever was the first Batman movie I saw, and thanks to that, I have a soft spot for it. Yeah, it's flawed, but I think it has good things in it - like, I legitimately like how they figured out Riddler's identity. I actually like it more than Returns out of sheer entertainment value, and Carrey was a fun, crazier version of Nygma.

Now that the Contest of Champions is advancing, maybe Team Pilo shirts will become available again?

That thumbnail sums up jim carreys entire perfomance.

Good timing. I just finished the first part as this was uploaded.

9:23 Says the guy who never sent his ward who SAW HIS PARENTS GET SHOT RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM to a shrink. Unless that was a thing in the comics, where he did and Bruce just learned to PRETEND to be okay. I can actually see that happening, and the shrink he was sent to later figuring out who Batman was. I was mainly roasting Gotham's "Let's give the traumatized 12 year old my watch to use as brass knuckles as well as carte blanche to beat the hell out of a bully with it" Alfred.

I actually had the Batman Forever Batmobile toy that could be turned into either the Batwing & Batboat as a kid!

DUUUUUUUDE!! THAT CAMEO FROM 90s KID WAS TOTALLY RADICAL!!!

9:28 "No no, I just let the stupid boy cause I knew it'd piss you off. And if he died too then hey, that's what I call a two for one deal, ha ha ha ha ha!"

moment I remembered to hit Like: "wait a minute Bruce Wayne IS Jim Morrison!"

This is actually my favorite Batman movie.

Hey, we get an appearance from 90's Dude! Haven't seem him in a while. Also, FINALLY! It's about time we got back to the contest. I know you were busy and that's why it's been so long, but the suspense was killing me. That said, Ouch. I'm glad Tamara will still be making a guest appearance. She's really good. Still hurts to watch that and remember though. Really wish things had gone differently for everyone involved in that.

In the wake of Avengers: Endgame, that Infinity Gauntlet looks a lot more appealing to cosmic contenders. So hands off Mechakara!

Wow part 2 was just a couple hours later , damn Linkara you're working overtime.

Excuse me. I think you mean "Dick Grayson, _age-fricking-twelve!"_

Steve vs Pilo is going to be the battle of the century

Something that's been bugging me about the Contest of Champions prize: don't Infinity Gems only work in their home universes?

Wow. that bit about how focusing on revenge has the effect of making you more hollow than any potential satisfaction you might gain from achieving that goal. you are right about it. its better to not focus on every wrong done in the world. more on how to make the world a better place despite that. But enough about deep thoughts, lets look forward to Seeing how the Movie adaptations that make up the rest of this month fare.

I was wondering how Linkara was able to continue the Contest of Champions, and now I see why. Well, regardless of what occurred back then, I can't wait to see what the future beholds for this contest!

I had this comic, the prestige format version. I used to enjoy reading it despite it's shortcomings.

You know, I just rewatched the movie, and I have to say, it's not nearly as bad as I, and everyone else, had always said. It's pretty good actually. Could it have been better? Yeah. But it's still pretty good.

Obligatory "Of course!"

9:51 Reminds me of the "I must never fall in love." line from Holly Terror.

Yay don't have to wait as I just finished part 1

2:58 - Considering that Schumacher initially WANTED to adapt Batman Year One while working on "Batman Forever", I sorta 89% doubt that. 6:19, 7:17 *The Psychology of the Burton/Schumacher Batman,* by Linkara. 15:08 - Calling it now: It's Street Fighter.

great review as always. Also, I'm excited for Round 2 of the Contest of Champions.

all hail Pilo the one true Champion :D

Nice Carey and tommy lee jones voices. Really captured them well

Finally, more Storyline content

Overall: Ugh. I did like the aforementioned aspects you have mentioned. Also: Congrats since we are in the Reiwa Era in a few hours. Next time: I’m going to be sad now. We shall forever miss you Raul Julia.

Destrogalga...that somehow sounds like a Kaiju that could be in Godzilla. Also i don't trust Steve

Welp this movie did give us “Hold Me, Kiss Me, Thrill Me, Kill Me” So with its flaws it’s completely worth it LOL

It's a shame this comic didn't go with the novelization's version of Two Face's death... ------------------------------------------------------------ "Haven't you forgotten something, Harvey?" called out Batman. "You're always of two minds about everything..." To Two-Face's chagrin, he realized that Batman was right. "Oh. Emotion is so often the enemy of justice. Thank you, Bruce." He took out his coin and flipped it. And Batman threw a Batarang. It was pure guesswork. He could hear Harvey's voice. He knew which hand Harvey threw with. He knew how high Harvey threw it. The rest was hanging on fate. The Batarang clipped the coin and sent it off it's arc. Batman's intent was to knock the coin down and away, hoping that - without it - Harvey would be stymied, unable to decide. Instead he lunged for it. He snatched it out of midair, still clutching his gun, and then he fell... Two yards. Two-Face slammed against one of the lower girders. It was bone-jarring, but his crazed strength and determination were enough to enable him to cling both to the coin and the gun. He twisted himself around, bracing his feet, clinging tenaciously... like a bat. "Did you think it would be that easy? *Did you* ?" He howled. "After everything that was between us, Batman! After the promises you made! You, the hero, the upholder of justice... and look what you did to us! Look!" And from above, Robin shouted down, "And look what you did to *us* !" Two-Face peered up at him. "What?" "You go around acting like that coin is making all the decisions. But it's all bull. It's not the coin. It's *you* ! You called me gutless? God, you are so damned gutless, I feel sorry for you!" With a snarl, Two-Face brought his gun up and aimed at Robin. Robin pressed on relentlessly, his arms and legs starting to tire. "You don't have the guts to admit that Batman was human and couldn't do everything. He's a better man than you'll ever be, and you pass judgment on *him* ? How about you, hotshot? What's that coin say about you, huh? You're so busy passing judgment on everyone and everything except the guy who's really on trial here! I bet you don't have the nerve to try challenging the hand of fate yourself for once! See if it pats you on the back, or slaps you down! Go on! Do it! Forget about your coin. Decide for yourself, about yourself, you pathetic monster! Do it! *Do it* !" Two-Face stared up at him for an eternity, as the water crashed below. Then he flipped the coin. It spun, hanging there in the night, and then it descended. Two-Face plucked it out of the air, looked at it. He shook his head. Without looking at Robin, he said, "It seems... we were right the first time. You are a man after our own heart. And you managed... You managed to rip it out." He chuckled softly. "You owe us, kid." And he released his hold on the girder. He made no sound as he descended. None at all. There was dead silence. "I didn't want to do that," said Robin slowly. "I...I killed him". "No. You just showed Two-Face his real face. The rest was his decision. Maybe his first genuine decision in years. Robin... give me a moment to get these radar lids off line. Then I'll help you out of there... and attend to unfinished business."

I dig the analysis of Bruce's arc throughout these movies. Certainly more believable than defenders of, ahem, more *recent* interpretations of the Bat.

God damn it, Linkara. This review was posted today. You could've said Tuesday, and I would have believed you.

15:09 Assuming you get it out on time, it could still be Tuesday when we see it.

For you, the Monday that you will post the next video will be the most important day of your life. But for me? I probably won't be able to watch it until Tuesday.

Fun fact! When Tommy Lee Jones first met Jim Carrey, Carrey was over the moon to work with such a distinguished actor, but Jones apparently said at their first meeting, flatly and without irony, "I hate everything you do. I cannot sanction your buffoonery."

12:39 Pretty convenient that Batman brought Dick along AND you managed to capture him so you could play this game with the two cages. Here's a riddle: What were you planning on doing if "THAT" did NOT happen????? Apparently, an earlier script had Dick upstairs in the manor and he tried to help Bruce fight off the goons only to get captured alongside Chase. (PS. the Robin costume reveal was saved til the very end). But that would have meant........ NO HOLY RUSTED METAL JOKE!!!!!!

I think the romance angle could have worked in this movie if they'd removed the icky doctor-patient relationship Chase and Bruce have. Just make her a a doctor that's been contracted by the GCPD to provide psychological analysis on criminals like Two-Face and leave it at that, find another reason for Bruce to interact with her outside of Batman instead of making him her patient.

While I'm still Team Pilo, I have to admit that Steve had a very strong showing.

@ 4:15 Omg, I was waiting this whole review for that joke lol

Love the call back to Arsenio hall's Jason interview

To comment on the intro of the first part: I kinda fell out of comics fir a while, getting overwhelmed by all the titles I was picking up and running out of space. I still read comics but not as much. 2018- avengers is pretty good and have been reading image comics (recommend Monstress!) And other (I guess indie) comics (Shadow man is great) as well as manga. Space isn't a problem as I read them off of Kindle! P.S. Also plz confirm that Baltar of the galaxy hole is in the ToC

Batman Retruns is my favorit movie of all time !

Also, Linkara, about the Box... IT. IS. A. CONE!!!!

Nice great episode contest of Champions is back hell yeah

Movie Adaption Month, like with Star Trek Tember was a great idea for the show and I would LOVE to see it again. Although I probably won't be watching the Street Fighter and Dune reviews. I'm sorry, I have little to no knowledge on either franchise, so I wouldn't be able to add anything. Still, the idea is great, and I would encourage Lewis to this again in the future.

Wait, if Edward Nygma's Two-Face, THEN WHO'S ONE FACE?!

This makes my day better after seeing Sonic the Hedgehog Movie Trailer

If you think about it chases is Proto Harley with them both being psychologist who gets a little too close to their prospective patients to the point of wanting intimate relations with them. You know what's funny if they went real world with this convoluted plot Bruce could have easily stopped enigma with the fact that most companies with R&D Department have them sign contracts. that any inventions they make while under their employment belong to the company. So all Bruce's lawyers would have to do is see that nygma was selling a device that was made while he was under the employment of Wayne Industries his ass would have been sued back to the gutter.

12:55 Sooo, not going to mention how the Batarang pops out of his belt like some kind of spring-loaded action figure? Cause, that's something I would have gravitated towards.

Those goons are wearing Deathstroke's mask. Weird.

14:38 on the plus side, Robins costume looks alot better with a bit being a bit more colourful than the movie counterpart. on the minus the mask looks rather uncomfortable, like its being held on his face there by spirit gum and hope

This review just raises too many questions...well it actually doesn't, I just wanted to say that. I'm an idiot.

19:12 Place you bets people who do you think will advance to the 3rd round? Also who do you think Linkara will face off with in Round 2?

I didn't realize how Linkara's split from Channel Awesome was affecting the Contest of Champions storyline... duh and there's Tamara right there

Since it's movie adaptation month, any chance of the comic book adaptation of Dark Crystal and Krull? Just thought I'd ask

I don't see how Goku could hold his own against Linkara at full power.

Looking forward to Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game: Da Flametrowah

I think 15:08 means that he is reviewing a Street Fighter movie adaptation! Yay!

I haven't seen a Jenny Everywhere reference in years.

15:09 - Ohmigod, he's finally reviewing GARFIELD?!

13:06 Oh, my, God... Samuel Sterns is the Riddler!

The reltionship between batman and chase meridian could be an interesting parallel to the relationship between the joker and harley quinn.

Lewis has a pretty good jim carry impression

I have the vaguest of vague memory of this movie. I think I was four or five when I saw it? It didn't make any more sense then than it does now.

I’m rooting for Steve. #teamsteve

In the original movie dr chase meridian points out in her room that there’s bat shaped quote on quote “Rorschach” framed in her room. I don’t know if Joel shumacher meant for this but... um... yup definitely a watchmen reference

I can´t wait for next week. Street Fighter the movie is my favorite videogame adaptation.

Still better then the 16 bit video games. Oh good Ibulara is spreading! It is just one of the best times of the year.
