12 Trash Movies (That You Definitely Love Anyway)

11. Batman Forever

For all of the stories around the production of Batman Forever, it's a wonder that a movie ever ended up being released. What got to the screen in the end certainly wasn't what any fans of Tim Burton's predecessors would have wanted, nor was it even what Joel Schumacher himself really wanted to make. But all Warner Bros wanted was a film that made money and didn't limit marketing and merchandising opportunities.

Unfortunately, that compromised the film's quality badly. It's cheesy, badly-written and a little unsure of its own identity and it was definitely the first step towards the ruination of Batman that its sequel confirmed with aplomb.

But that all said, it's still perversely charming. It should be one of the most unlikeable movies of all time, given how obnoxious it sets out to be, but Val Kilmer makes a great Batman, Jim Carrey IS excellent as Riddler and it's hard not to be enthuasiastic about the fun. Watch it after most of the modern DCEU and it's a bloody masterpiece.
