Gotham cities dark knight is back. And when he is back, he is back with a bang. Bruce Wayne aka The Batman (Kilmer) has not one, but two enemies to fight against. Harvey Dent aka Harvey Two-Face (Lee Jones) was previously the district attorney who faced an acid attack that disfigured half of his face for good. He blames The Batman for this and seeks revenge. Dr. Edward Nygma (Carrey) is a scientist who works at Wayne Enterprises who has developed a unique device that can project television images right inside the persons head. Bruce rejects the idea which hurts Nygma's sentiments and he vows to take revenge as The Riddler. Dr. Chase Meridian (Kidman) becomes Batman's love interest and she also finds herself falling for Bruce Wayne, not knowing they both are the same. On one eventful evening at the circus, an acrobat loses his family when Harvey Dent stages an attack. The acrobat, Dick Grayson (O'Donnell) is adopted into Wayne manor and slowly starts blending into Bruce's life. The third installment of the Batman series of movies sees a change of guard at the helm. Val Kilmer being the new Batman, is similarly composed and relaxed as Bruce Wayne but aggressive and tough as The Batman. He fulfills the character far better and seems more suited for the role. Nicole Kidman looks ravishing and she reminds us all of what a magnificent beauty she was in her hay-days. The movie is a decent all round entertainer which has the occasional sprinkling of thrill and excitement. The only biggest let down is the climax, which seemed far too sudden with Dent and Riddler not putting up any fight at all. Maybe something more extended and exciting would have helped in ending the movie at a higher note.

Thumbs up: Great all round entertainer

Thumbs down: Sudden and uninteresting climax

Rating: 7.3/10
