The Adam West batman is amazing, it's mostly a comedy, Adam West is an absurdly good deadpan comic. There's a handful of times when he's dealing with the police commissioner and he's just learned of something the riddler is doing and he'll do a super dramatic pause imagining the implications and you can feel the weight of the scene hitting people as this man dressed up as a cat is being so absurdly serious. There's a lot of general positive lessons and stuff too but overall it's very entertaining. Look up batman has a conversation with himself Adam West.

In hindsight, yes, his glory days were over, but at the time we didn't know that. In the meantime ... no ...

11:16 The supercut of Tommy Lee-Two Face gets me every time 💀🤣

[@mikeydflyingtoaster]

And he had the cheek to tell Carrey that he could not stand his buffoonery! He genuinely comes off as a Jim Carrey fanboy, trying to compete with his energy and failing miserably

[@TroyBaugh-wu7ek]

I think he took one look at Carrey, thought to himself "if this is the kind of assery they want..." and decided to show 'em how an Oscar winner does it. The result is a film that is high on neon green lighting and Seal music, but very, very low on human dignity.

[@mikeydflyingtoaster]

@@TroyBaugh-wu7ek was this the one with the Seal tune? I always thought it was B&R. I guess in the time it took to write this, I could have looked it up. Ah well

[@TroyBaugh-wu7ek]

@@mikeydflyingtoaster Yeah, it was in Batman Forever. The soundtrack, believe it or not, is actually quite good, and has a nocturnal vibe that carries across songs and genres and definitely fits the Batman character more than the stupid fucking movie it was assembled for. Plus, what other soundtrack ranges from Seal, Brandy and U2 to the Flaming Lips and PJ Harvey while keeping them all on the same wavelength? I wish half as much thought had gone into the celluloid.

[@mikeydflyingtoaster]

@@TroyBaugh-wu7ek The Oscar winner being Jack Nicholson, of course, as his portrayal of Two Face is a pale imitation of his Joker.

[@warlockofwordsreturnsrb4358]

Mike, the "Freeze in hell" line is clearly a reference to Dante's Inferno, where Satan is encased in a lake of ice in the centre of the Abyss. There's a great Gustav Doré drawing of it.

[@peteg475]

It's just an inversion of "Burn in hell!", a common insult. Insinuating that Akiva Goldsman was actually thinking about Dante is a funny joke.

[@Flint-Dibble-the-Don]

Yep, Arnold mentioned that in the bonus features. Apparently the writer Akiva was a big art fan.

[@anttiv4292]

@@peteg475 That is indeed the joke

[@stayniftyGuyFaceMannPersonDude]

I love all the callbacks to different RLM episodes from over the years.

[@ZafVirex]

This was a great cut. Editing in the commercials bits and such were great. I was dying when the Alicia Silverstone interview parts were mixed in with Mr. Plinkett lol. Perfect.

[@BanyaBat]

Thanks! More of my edits here!: kzbin.info/door/k1jbdRuPM7WCgl9RPX-roQ

[@UltraredM]

In an era where Plinkett reviews are few and far between, this is a pretty good substitute, and that's high praise!

[@BanyaBat]

Damn straight it is... Thank you very much!

[@theroamer2355]

Rich's laugh at 27:11, at Banes ridiculous disguise classic lol

[@jamesgoss1860]

As bad as you think Arnold was onscreen in this, just remember, this was the exact timeframe he was fooling around with his maid, getting her pregnant as well as his wife pregnant days apart. Filming of B&R was September '96 through January '97, and his two sons were born a week apart around end of September '97, do the math.

[@4Everlast]

And your point was?

[@wiictvchannel1112]

@@4Everlast I think the point is that he was going through some weird shit at the time and probably couldn't care less about portraying Mr Freeze in any kind of good way

[@4Everlast]

@@wiictvchannel1112 It would make a tiny bit of sense if he was as bored and careless as Clooney was, but he wasn't, he gave as cheesy of a performance as the director demanded of him, so... Yeah. Wtf movie did you guys watch? It's a cheesy-ass colorful play for kids, he was more the suited for it.

[@wiictvchannel1112]

@@4Everlast I agree! I was just trying to understand the point as well because the OP didn't finish his thought.

[@videogamenostalgia]

The problem with Mr Freeze is that Arnold is ridiculously miscast for the role and the part is horribly written - not that Arnold wasn't feeling his best during filming.

[@Zerobob26]

The soundbite from Father Ted's 'King of the Sheep' competition caught me off guard. Always loved the timing of that "fuckin 'ell"... Genius.

[@GreasyMcNasty]

These are so well put together. The segments that are separated from the commentary totally match RLM's style of humor. So goddamn hilarious. Hope you keep making more!

[@punishederic4761]

I'm sure I've said it before and many other commenters before me but your editing really turns these commentaries into something different and special. Not to mention it fits the content, and gags and jokes used during editing remind me of jokes they'd make. Keep up the good work, these videos always make me laugh.

[@BanyaBat]

Thanks, Eric, that's honestly great to hear... Hopefully you'll enjoy my upcoming edits as well!

[@yunehversomi1458]

“You should not reference a better movie in your movie.” Sadly the entirety of Hollywood missed that line.

[@CursedWheelieBin]

I watched Halloween Ends and some guy was watching Hard Target. I just thought “I should be watching that instead”

[@Christopherianmatt]

At 17 years old when this came out, I was more emotionally invested in Alfred than anything else in this film because he and Pat Hingle were the only elements that made this a series of films at this point. Not even the bat suit could stay the same and I had no desire to see it change from the first one.

[@GenY42]

this is masterfully done, thank you so much, the RLM community has some truly talented people

[@BanyaBat]

That's great to hear, nice knowing my editing style is appreciated.. Thanks!
