My first introduction to Two Face was Batman the animated series, and his first scene was mesmerizing to me, when he and his team missed a vault in the bank being robbed, flips his coin and says "leave it", immediately he became my favorite villian of all time!

Let’s be honest, Jim Carey was Gorshin on Speed, and the hate that Tommy Lee Jones gets starts and ends with the insistence that this is the same world as Batman and Batman Returns, which established the smooth Billy Dee Willams as Harvey Dent. The difference is obvious.

the 90's may be over Vee but this movie is Forever!

Forever is still my all-time fav Batman movie. I adore the art direction and love that it has a dark comedy edge to it. I absolutely feel ya on Two Face as well as he's my number one (or is that two?) villain and the design they went for him was perfect. I mean if we're going to have a man run around in bat cosplay then we need the villians to step it up a notch as well, not just have a slightly singed suit lol

I absolutely loved Forever. Was a huge Batman fan, and Jim Carrey was my idol at the time. Not only was this my favorite of this universe, it gave us one of the greatest songs of all time. Kiss from a Rose 🌹

There's no way that was how they wanted two face. Why? Because they wanted a contrast where two face is kinda like the serious menance and Jim Carey was the more comedic based lighter villain. The director just couldn't check an actor like Tommy Lee Jones and let him do whatever he concluded. That happens a lot but shouldn't. Actors aren't usually thinking about the whole movie, they're just thinking about their character and may miss aspects like the character playing off of someone else campy to be darker. Thinking in a vacuum made that clowning two face. It could have been a great movie where Robin brought lighter tones to interact with Batman and the villains are doing the same thing but the director failed the movie

Every time I go back to Batman Forever, Tommy Lee Jones shows he would have absolutely killed it as the Joker given his Two Face performance

I think both villains from this movie are fun, the problem is them together. The pair would work if one of them, preferably Two-Face, was the straight man of the pair. This was shown when Joker and Penguin were together in the sixties show. The novelization of this film helps show that it could work better than it did here.

Tommys goofyness would have been better for Joker

Ironically, and sadly, Jones became very fond of Two-Face when he first learned about the character. I think he was really looking forward to this role. All the "unsanctioned buffoonery" must have left him disillusioned, and discouraged him from bringing to life the Two-Face he would have preferred to portray.

I have to say, Carrey pretty much doing an updated Frank Gorshin is a very astute observation. If you put those two side by side the similarities are blinding.

I agree about Jack Nicholson's Joker. He's great and all, but would've liked to see a little more of a tic and flare to him like he was in The Shining. I also thought that Aaron Eckhart looked pretty similar to the comic-book Two-face, which was a plus for me.

I think the reason Two-Face was so... goofy was because Warner wanted it to be less scary because they believed Tim Burton's vision was too dark for kids and Two-Face alone would probably also be too scary.

Once I accepted that "Batman&Robin" was the campy successor to the campy "Batman" television show, I was sort of OK with the film version of the Bright Knight. Sort of. Kind of. Well... The Dark Knight was still years away. (I still dislike Clooney's bobblehead performance.)

Cool thing I like about Tommy Lee Jones/Two Face is his line when he says "Why Can U Just Die" was his and years later so many writers add that in their movies and they recently said the same line in John Wick 4 the exact same way.

Criminally Underrated Film

Vee Infuso went from being my least favorite youtuber to my most look forwarded youtuber. Good work dude! Your videos are awesome!

That Video was Mind-Blowing! And I Agree with Everything you said!

Batman Forever is and always will be my favorite Batman film! Excellent video. It always strikes me as odd…that this film was so loved in 1995 and now gets so much negativity. The theaters were sold out for weeks in June and July of 1995. I was there so many times..that I would know! It set numerous records at the time….and reviews were fantastic. Then over time…everything changed. While it’s a shame that videos have to made defending it..I love this video. Thanks!

I've seen your previous videos on this movie and I have to say that I have a huge amount of respect for your devotion to it. All that to say that I actually agree with your assessment that TLJ was great casting. He just wasn't given the proper direction for whatever reason. His performance in U.S. Marshals is what I would've preferred. He should've played straight man to Carrey's lunacy. The elements were RIGHT THERE!! The director, writer and producers just didn't know what to do with him.

Batman Forever is great and it's one of my favorite movies. Two-Face is my favorite villain and I liked both Tommy Lee Jones and Aaron Eckhart's portrayals of the character.

This was quite the analysis...🤘🏼💯✔️

I LITERALLY REWATCHED THIS MOVIE A FEW DAYS AGO THIS UPLOAD WAS SUCH A SURPRISE WOAH

The crazy part about Carrey playing the Riddler.... I could actually see him also playing the cunning, not over the top version of the same character.

I loved all the 4 batman movies when I was younger but now that I'm older I still love the films to an extent but can see where it misses the mark.

Thank you for this video 🙏🏻 I love the Batman forever movie it was huge for me as a 11 year old kid back then. I subscribe and look forward to hear about Batman forever Robin, and yes as a kid I loved Chris O’Donnell as Robin because it felt more realistic for us kids that Robin was older, someone we could look up too

I do have to agree about the letdown of The Dark Knights Two Face, there was a lot of potential there and it just never quite lived up to it cuz they clearly prioritised the Joker and didn’t balance it out as well as they could have

Poor Edward Nigma didn't deserve the David Flair theme.

I can't wait until next year when McFarlane releases the figures!

Nolan's Two-Face looks like half Darkman

The movie was good. Two face could of been more serious but still good tho

I hated the fact two faces make up line was perfectly straight

Man…thank you showing this movie some love! It’s one of my favorites too! While it’s far from perfect/accurate, there are things of value in it. It’s refreshing to see this movie talked about in a more positive light. And yeah, whatever you have in mind for Batman Forever, let’s see it!

You should make a video on the possibility of a two and a half men revival

Tommy Lee Jones is and always has been a great actor, but clearly he never was into comics or superheroes. He was told he was playing a Batman villain, likely watched a few episodes of the old Adam West show, and thought "Guess that's how I'll do it."

I can see it believable if someone says Routh and Reeves are related.

If you heard the cast based of the last movie and the death in that film. You would entirely day dream a very very different film.

I hate riddles, and other such nonsense, but I love your videos, Vee. Keep up the good work, and please make more wrestling content as well.

If you look closely the scarring isn’t a perfect line down the center of his face. My theory is that he *paints* that color on to accentuate the duality. Like how Ledger uses paint to accent *his* scars.

Batman Forever was awesome 😊

I'm quite happy for Jim Carey to play Jim Carey....One of the few actors where I don't mind them being basically the same thing the majority of the time.

I know I would also have watched a film we get JC as Dury Walker, becoming Cameron Van Kleer, A new, better, ´Bruce Wayne' for a new Gotham.

Makeup would look so much better if it was just a dark shade, also preferably more of a red instead of pink

I think Jim Carreys The Riddler couldve come back a little darker and more akin to the Riddler in the animated series. He failed to become Bruce but he can still play the most disturbing games with him. And I think Jim Carrey couldve been menacing af in that interpretation. The Riddlers Revenge

Could u make a rant video on Batbabe The Dark Knightie next?

I loved this movie and still do! OK..Joker was not around (My favorite Batman movie of all time is still the original wich J. nicholson) ...yet this whole movie was a showdown between to actors who would make the most fun badguy...and they were a lot of fun to watch

Hey do you think you could do a telltale joker video, i know ive asked before but id really love for you to talk about this version of the character

I have always felt that Tommy Lee's Two Face should've been the straight man to Jim Carrey's Riddler. He should've been a bit more serious and darker. It feels like Tommy Lee wanted to out Jim Carrey Jim Carrey.

That would have been a more interesting dynamic if Two Face was played completely serious, would have been a cool contrast too with the over the top tone of the film

In the novel of Batman Forever, he flipped a coin when they ran by in the Wayne Manor scene, and they ran by several times.

Cheesy but cool 🦇 👍

25:33 The first "nerdy outsider with glasses turns supervillain" trope? Nah, not even in the Batman Cinematic Universe (BCU). If Jim Carrey is the godfather, then he learned it from the godmother: Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman. She doesn't follow the obsession/rejection/resurrection cycle, but she definitely blazes the trail from mousy-to-monster. (Maybe just rejection/resurrection?)

I still hold to the idea that Jim Carreys Riddler was too much Joker. The Joker has gag items that explode. The Riddler has explosive shaped explosives that explode (if he is choosing to blow anything up at all). Carreys Riddler was throwing explosive bats everywhere in the Batcave, which, when attached to his behavior throughout the movie, plants him firmly in Joker territory.

I love love Jim carrey

He utilized a jump to conclusions mat

I prefer the raw look and white hair for Two-Face. Not the pink hair. But I think Tommy couldve done so much better if he had a better script and director. Two-Face is full of terrifying looks and Tommy can totally deliver that. Just look at his menacing face(s) in the fan card.

I think actor star (JIM CARRY) did a great job at playing The-Riddler, in the (BATMAN FOREVER) movie.

I noticed you had a clip of Telltale's two face near the start. What do you think of their interpretation of the character?

You've never seen Tommy Lee being energetic? You've never seen "Under siege." He pulls crazy off pretty well in that movie.

We need a serious riddler in a suit thats downfall is his ego like in btas. I like the one we got in batman forever and the batman but theyve always been alittle to.. out there. Hes supposed to be batmans smartest villain so id like to see everything he does as the smartest move he could make. Him going toe to toe with batmans intelect and prep time but in the end could win but losses because his ego wont let someone else take credit for what he'd done

So many second comings

I hate riddles and other such nonsense. I Watch this movie yesterday for the first time I'm glad to see videos relating to what I do

I feel like most of these problems are down to the poor direction and studio mandates...

Jim Carey was a very good, at times even great Riddler.

Honestly, I agree with not liking the Dark Knight Two-Face.... I just did NOT like him as a character. He lacked some of the important nuances that say.... BTAS had. He just came off as... annoying when he flipped to the dark side. At least Tommy's Two-Face had a lot of fun. (Despite that being way out of character.) Like, it wasn't the right way to do a Two-Face. But as you said. In a vacuum, he's a fun character to watch.

I've said it on this channel before but, Tommy Lee Jones brought a huge physical threat to the character. He was always one tiny step away from murdering someone for looking at him the wrong way. You can look at Riddler's initial confrontation with Harvey and notice how Jones and Carrey portray the differences in their characters just physically. Jones was extremely dangerous. I wanted more for Harvey in the script, but this is clearly a broken man betrayed by the city he believed in. You can see the pain in this character brought to the surface by Jones.

I don't see why Tommy's performance is seen as the wrong choice for the character. Harvey was driven mad. I don't see this Two Face as being a copy of Joker or anything like The Riddler. Just because different villains maniacally laugh doesn't make them the same. I like that Harvey has lost complete control. His anger is always festering beneath the surface and Jones makes sure not to lose this aspect of the character.

Fun fact, Tommy Lee Jones actually made his performance as Two Face the way it is to spite Jim Carrey

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie, but I don’t think The Box was meant to make The Riddler more intelligent, just tell him secret thoughts of the people using it. IIRC, he implied he was going to blackmail pretty much the whole city, or maybe just use his knowledge to keep cops and lawmakers under his thumb.

I dont get why people dont like that one scene of two face flipping his coin. The movie is clearly edited to show how if bruce punches a guy, two face flips the coin to see if bruce deserves punishment. He wasnt just flipping the coin at random. Maybe two face shouldnt have been upset when the innocent face shows, or be happy when the guilty face shows, but that scene clearly shows that two face obeys the coins decision.

I know a lot of people saw Batman Forever as a kid and loved it but I wasn’t one of them. Even at 8 years old I thought it sucked dick. If I hadn’t seen the Burton movies I probably would’ve liked it but after watching those a million times I couldn’t accept the bright and campy atmosphere here. It was such a drastic departure from the tone of the previous movies that it can be considered a soft reboot. The only positive things that came out of this movie was Seal’s Kiss From a Rose and the fact that the box office success of this led WB to go further in the campy direction eventually leading to Chris Nolan getting the reigns for Batman Begins.

I thought it was funny that two face smoked two different cigarettes

Kristin Wiig in Wonder Woman 1984 was the worst of the Carrey Riddler knock offs.

We're still waiting for a definitive movie Two Face. But I still prefer this guy over the one from Dark Knight

Switching Tommy and Jack would have been the best case in casting here. Tommy Lee can pull off a Joker wonderfully. I can truly think of no one more able to play dent better than Jack.

I feel that the real villain is Joel Shomacker

I still say people get it wrong when they say Batman and Robin was Joel Schumacher love letter to Batman cause outside the campy aspect to Batman and Robin there is nothing that confirms that unlike Batman forever that is filled with Batman references like the flying Greyson’s outfit being Burt ward’s robin suit design the riddler and two-face filling like they belong on the show even though they actually were going to use two-face on the show but has second thoughts about it deeming him to scary for kids in the 60’s so his plot became the false face plot Robin saying holy rusted metal Batman to a no brainer Joel Schumacher is showing love to my favorite version of Batman with Batman forever

Linked to Tommy Lee's faulty portrayal of Two-Face is Drew Barrymore's faulty portrayal of Sugar. I remember reading the press releases for this movie, and in one of them Sugar was described as "light evil" and Debi Mazar's Spice as "dark evil." But when is evil ever "light," even in the movies? If Sugar was supposed to represent Harvey's good side, she should have been one of the story's more sympathetic characters. The most realistic or at least plausible characterization for Sugar would probably have been Madonna's performance as Breathless Mahoney in DICK TRACY crossed with the more sympathetic portrayals of Harley Quinn. But instead Barrymore gave us what was basically a more subdued version of the evil Harley. Was Sugar just some bimbo who wanted to be with Two-Face because he was rich? You'd think even someone like that would be smart enough not to get mixed up with a supervillain. I did not at all like Paul Dano's "incel survivalist" take on the Riddler in THE BATMAN, and Aaron Eckhart's Two-Face in THE DARK KNIGHT disappointed me because while the BATMAN FOREVER version was too evil, Eckhart's was just not evil enough. Even after he becomes Two-Face, Eckhart's Harvey Dent is sympathetic and makes arguments that at least sound reasonable. My favorite takes on Two-Face and the Riddler are both from the '90s animated series. Except for Catwoman, that series portrayed all the major villains exceptionally well.
