Batman Forever (1995), directed by Joel Schumacher, marks a shift in tone from the darker Batman films of the late '80s and early '90s. The film follows Bruce Wayne (Val Kilmer), who, after years of battling Gotham's criminal underworld, still struggles with his dual identity as Batman. When two new villains emerge—Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones) and The Riddler (Jim Carrey)—Batman is forced to confront his past traumas while attempting to protect Gotham City from their destructive plans.

Two-Face, once Harvey Dent, a district attorney who was scarred both physically and mentally, seeks vengeance on the people of Gotham. He partners with The Riddler, a former Wayne Enterprises employee, who develops a device capable of reading people's minds. Together, they concoct a plan to destroy Gotham using this technology, leading Batman to once again don his cape and cowl to stop them.

As Bruce Wayne, he also becomes romantically involved with Dr. Chase Meridian (Nicole Kidman), a psychologist who becomes intrigued by his complex psyche and dual persona. She is drawn to both Bruce and Batman, adding layers to Bruce's personal struggle. Meanwhile, a young acrobat named Dick Grayson (Chris O'Donnell) witnesses his family's tragic death at the hands of Two-Face and later becomes Batman’s ally, Robin.

Batman must face his own vulnerabilities while grappling with the appearance of Robin, a reminder of his lost family. The film delves into Bruce Wayne’s psyche as he confronts his deepest fears and guilt over his parents' deaths. The psychological battle plays out both in his interactions with Dr. Chase and in his confrontations with the villains, with The Riddler's mind-reading device targeting Bruce’s insecurities.

In the final showdown, Batman, with Robin’s help, confronts Two-Face and The Riddler, ultimately defeating them and saving Gotham. The film ends on a note of hope, with Batman embracing his role as the protector of Gotham while accepting the importance of having allies and facing his own emotional baggage. Batman Forever balances action, character development, and themes of redemption, making it a defining moment in the Batman franchise.
