Batman Forever

Batman Forever. Joel Schumacher, dir. USA: Warner, 1995. Tim Burton, Peter MacGregor-Scott, exec. prod. Val Kilmar, Tommy Lee Jones, Jim Carrey, Nicolle Kidman, Chris O'Donnell, featured players.

Continues the mise en scène of the earlier Batman films, but adds strong images of the superimposition of mindcontrol devices upon the heads of TV viewers, for a comically-handled suggestion that TV (but not movies?) is a form of mind control. (RDE, 27/06/95)
