Bruce Wayne, convinced that mind manipulation would raise too many questions, turns the idea down, but Nygma continues to work on it after hours. When Fred Stickley, the head of the research department, discovers Nygma's clandestine overtime, Nygma knocks out Stickley then uses him to test his device, discovering that he can use it to absorb people's knowledge. Realizing Wayne was right about it being mind manipulation, Stickley fires Nygma, but Nygma murders Stickley, doctors the security tapes to make Stickley's death look like a suicide, and then resigns from Wayne Enterprises.

After having met clinical psychiatrist Doctor Chase Meridian (Nicole Kidman) at the robbery, Bruce Wayne invites her to a charity circus event. A psychiatrist (also archaically called an alienist) is a Physician who specializes in Psychiatry and is certified in treating Mental disorders Two-Face and his cohorts storm the event, bringing a bomb with a two-minute timer. Two-Face, who blames Batman for the attack which left him disfigured, will detonate the bomb unless Batman reveals himself.

Edward Nygma, who has been stalking Wayne and leaving riddles for him, is inspired and delighted by watching Two-Face's raid at the circus on live television and creates his own alter-ego in the form of The Riddler, a master of puzzles and quizzes. The Riddler ( Edward Nigma or Nygma, or Nashton) is a Fictional character, a DC Comics Supervillain, an enemy of He perfects his brain-manipulation device into a system which beams signals to and from the human brain in order to simulate an immersive television viewing experience. This has the side effect of allowing the Riddler to read viewers' minds, as well as augmenting his own intelligence. Making a deal to use his brain-manipulation device to discover Batman's true identity, he becomes partner-in-crime with Two-Face in order to fund mass-production of the device. Successful, he readopts his Nygma persona and hosts a launch event for a set-top version of his device. A set-top box (STB or set-top unit (STU is a device that connects to a Television and an external source of signal, turning the signal into Nygma convinces an unwitting Wayne to try it, resulting in Nygma discovering Wayne's alter ego. Two-Face attempts to kill Wayne/Batman, but the appearance of Dick (disguised as Robin) at the end helps to foil the plan. Armed with the knowledge of Batman's true identity, the villains later converge upon Wayne Manor. Unwilling to have Two-Face kill his idol, Nygma (as the Riddler) blows up the Batcave and leaves a final riddle for his nemesis, while Two-Face kidnaps Doctor Meridian. The Batcave is the secret headquarters of fictional DC Comics Superhero Batman, (the alternate identity of billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne consisting

Bruce and Alfred eventually solve the riddles, each one having a number in it:

1. "If you look at the numbers on my face, you won't find 13 anyplace. " (a clock)

2. "Tear one off and scratch my head; what was once red is now black instead. " (a match)

3. "The eight of us go forth, not back, to protect our king from a foe's attack. " (chess pawns)

4. We're five items of an everyday sort; you'll find us all in 'a tennis court'. " (vowels- in the words 'a tennis court')

Each number corresponds to a letter in the alphabet, with 1 and 8 being digits for the number 18. 13 being "M", 18 for "R" and 5 for "E", M-R-E, or "Mr. E"- mystery, or enigma- Mr. E. Nygma). Changing into Batman, Bruce asks Alfred whether he should use the Batboat or the Batwing. The Batboat is the fictional personal watercraft of Comic book Superhero Batman. Roller coasters are composed of various elements, the individual parts of the design and operation such as a track hill loop turn etc Dick suggests both as he enters the Batcave- now dressed in a "Robin" costume of Alfred's design. Bruce decides two against two are better odds, and finally agrees to Dick becoming a partner.

Batman and Robin locate the Riddler's lair. During the assault on the lair, Robin confronts and overpowers Two-Face, but instead of letting Two-Face fall to his death, Robin rescues him, but Two-Face draws a gun capturing Robin. Batman manages to find his own way up to the high-altitude lair, only to find Robin already hostage along with Doctor Chase, both bound and gagged in individual cages on either side of Riddler's throne.

Riddler, challenging Batman with the greatest riddle of all ("Can Batman and Bruce Wayne actually co-exist?"), gives him the choice of rescuing only one of them, but Batman instead destroys the brainwave-collecting hub, sending Two-Face running for his life, and reversing the brainwave stream from Nygma's head. Before Nygma collapses, he springs the trap doors in Robin's and Doctor Meridian's cages, sending them plummeting to their apparent doom, but Batman rescues both of them, only to be drawn on again by Two-Face perched on a nearby plank. Batman reminds Two-Face that he's always of two minds about everything, so as Two-Face flips his coin in the air Batman pulls a handful of similar coins out of his pocket and tosses them into the air with it. Frantically trying to find his own coin, Two-Face loses his footing and falls to his death. Batman returns to the now-destroyed Riddler's lair and finds Edward, his mind now enfeebled by the brainwave reversal. He answers Nygma's riddle saying "I had to save them both. You see, I'm both Bruce Wayne and Batman. "

The Riddler is later committed to Arkham Asylum, and Doctor Chase is asked to consult on his case. The Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane is a Fictional setting a Psychiatric hospital in the DC Comics Universe, usually in stories featuring Riddler offers to reveal the identity of Batman to her, but he thinks he himself is Batman. Doctor Chase then meets Bruce Wayne outside and tells him his secret is safe.

"I always hated those titles like Batman Forever. That sounds like a tattoo that somebody would get when they're on drugs or something. Or something some kid would write in the yearbook to somebody else. I have high problems with some of those titles. "
— Tim Burton on the title of Batman Forever[12]

Warner Brothers always felt that even though Batman Returns was a box office success, it did not meet expectations. Timothy "Tim" William Burton (born August 25 1958 is an American Film director, Screenwriter and Set designer, notable for the quirky Warner Bros Entertainment Inc (or Warner Bros, Warner Bros Pictures) is one of the world's largest producers of Film and As a result the studio decided to re-tool the franchise to be more conspicuously aimed towards children. Batman co-creator Bob Kane even supported the decision. Batman (originally referred to as the Bat-Man and still referred to at times as the Batman) is a fictional Comic book Superhero co-created Bob Kane (born Robert Kahn, October 24, 1915 &ndash November 3, 1998) was an American Comic book artist Producer Peter MacGregor-Scott cited the film as "Saturday Night Fever on acid". Saturday Night Fever is a 1977 film starring John Travolta as Tony Manero a troubled Brooklyn youth whose weekend activities are dominated [4]

Tim Burton claimed he had one meeting that lasted for half an hour with Warner Brothers regarding a sequel. Timothy "Tim" William Burton (born August 25 1958 is an American Film director, Screenwriter and Set designer, notable for the quirky He told them basic ideas he had in mind, though they both peaceably agreed that Burton should serve as producer. Burton states that he was not interested in directing a third Batman film, and did not approve of the creative direction the franchise was taking. [10] Warner Brothers sought Joel Schumacher as their first choice to be Burton's replacement as director, and Schumacher took the role after getting approval from Burton, a friend of his. Joel Schumacher (born August 29, 1939 in New York City) is an American Film director, Screenwriter and producer [1] At one point John McTiernan was a candidate to direct before Joel Schumacher took over from Tim Burton. John Campbell McTiernan Jr (born January 8, 1951) is an American Movie director, best known for his action films and most identifiable [13].

Schumacher originally had in mind an adaptation of Frank Miller's Batman: Year One. The Batsuit (also Bat-Suit) is the Costume of the Fictional character appearing in DC Comics as a Superhero, Batman. Frank Miller (born January 27, 1957) is an American Writer, Artist and Film director best known for his dark Batman Year One is the title of an American Comic book Story arc written by Frank Miller, illustrated by David Mazzucchelli The studio rejected the idea as they wanted a sequel, not a prequel, though Schumacher was able to include very brief events in Batman's past. Burton and Schumacher together hired Lee and Janet Scott-Batchler to write the script which introduced a psychotic Riddler with a pet rat accompanying him. The Riddler ( Edward Nigma or Nygma, or Nashton) is a Fictional character, a DC Comics Supervillain, an enemy of The story elements and much of the dialogue still remained in the finished film, though Schumacher felt it could be "lighted down. " He hired Akiva Goldsman, whom he previously had worked for on The Client to write the second draft. Akiva J Goldsman (born July 7, 1962) is an American Screenwriter and producer in the motion picture industry For the US version of the UK TV show The Office episode see The Client (The Office. [4]

Schumacher hired Barbara Ling for production design, claiming that the film needed a "force" and felt Ling could "advance on it. " Schumacher wanted a design that was not to be any way connected to Batman and Batman Returns, and instead was to be inspired by the images from the Batman comic books seen in the 1940s/early 1950s and taken from that of New York City architecture in the 1930s, with a combination of modern Tokyo. Batman is a 1989 Superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name. The City of New York officially, is one of the 47 prefectures of Japan and located on the eastern side of the main island Honshū. [14]

Schumacher told Ling he wanted a "city with personality," with more statues, as well as various amounts of neon. Neon (ˈniːɒn is the Chemical element that has the symbol Ne and Atomic number 10 The Batmobile was also given a makeover in comparison to that seen in Batman and Batman Returns. The Batmobile is the fictional personal Automobile of Comic book Superhero Batman. The design team spent six weeks on five different concepts before coming up with Schumacher's choice. Two cars were constructed, one for stunt purposes and one for close ups with both showcasing a V8 engine. A V8 engine is a V engine with eight cylinders mounted on the Crankcase in two banks of four cylinders in most cases set at a right angle to each other The Batcave introduced new technology seen in the previous two films that included what Schumacher calls, "a more suitable atmosphere. The Batcave is the secret headquarters of fictional DC Comics Superhero Batman, (the alternate identity of billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne consisting " This included a turntable for the Batmobile and a moat surrounding the cave. [14]

For the costume design, producer Peter MacGregor-Scott claimed that 146 workers were at one point working together. Batman's costume received a new design as well. Scott also quoted that Schumacher wanted to bring somewhere along the lines of a more "MTV organic, and edgier feel" to the suit. MTV ( Music Television) is an American Cable television network based in New York City. Various suits were designed for specific purposes, such as one where as Val Kilmer sits in the Batmobile and various others for stunts and close ups. Val Edward Kilmer (born December 31, 1959) is an American Actor. Ventilation was placed in the suit and according to costume designer Ve Neill, Kilmer had "a more stature feel than Michael Keaton" which served as a minor problem. Michael John Douglas (born September 9 1951 better known by the stage name Michael Keaton, is an American Actor, known for his early comedic roles in [15]

Neill quoted that Schumacher wanted Chris O'Donnell to be a heartthrob to teenage girls, thus the reason why his ears were pierced.

He stated while practicing, he would continuously damage walls, ceilings, and cabinets. [15] Elliot Goldenthal was hired to compose the film score even before the first draft of the script was written. Elliot Goldenthal (born May 2 1954 in Brooklyn, New York City) is an acclaimed Academy Award and Golden Globe winning He stated he was told by Schumacher as not to listen to Danny Elfman's previous score, and instead compose a different orchestral piece. Daniel Robert Elfman (born May 29, 1953) is an American Musician, who is famous for composing scores and songs for Tim Burton [16]

Schumacher commented on working with Val Kilmer, Tommy Lee Jones, and Jim Carrey, "I was told that Val was difficult and wasn't [right] for me. Val Edward Kilmer (born December 31, 1959) is an American Actor. Tommy Lee Jones (born September 15, 1946) is an Academy Award - Golden Globe - Screen Actors Guild - and Emmy Award -winning James Eugene Redmond "Jim" Carrey (born January 17 1962 is a Canadian-American Film actor and Comedian.
