3.0 out of 5 stars Decent, October 16, 1998
By A Customer
Well, the movie was not up to par with the two first classic Tim Burton Bat-flicks, but the book is good. The film was hardly a serious approach. Fluffy, with Carrey extremelly silly and unfunny and with Tommy Lee Jones simply One-Dimensional. However, in this book, as absurd it may sound, Edward Nygma (Carrey's character) is presented as a sad person, who is frustrated by his ruthless boss and wants to payback as the Riddler. As for Tommy Lee Jones' character (Two-Face), he is presented as a tragic figure who is not a true villain but a victim of the circumstances. All in all, the book although follows the script of the film, it is a lot better, and makes me think that the reason that this film sucked was not its scriptwriter but its director.

4.0 out of 5 stars If Only They'd Filmed THIS..., July 8, 2009
Most movie novelizations are forgettable, cash-in-on-the-hype projects. Not so this one. As others have said, this book is MUCH better than the film. If the moviemakers had only used it as their script, Forever could've been the best of the original Bat films.

Peter David is a truly gifted writer, and the novel does a good job of tying the story back to what happened in the previous film, Batman Returns. He also develops the prior relationship of Batman and Harvey Dent/Two-Face and delves deeper into Bruce Wayne's personal anguish over Dent's fall from grace, as well as his feelings of guilt over his parents' deaths. The novel sheds much of the silliness in the characterizations of Riddler and Two-Face that proved distracting in the film.

Frankly, I wasn't expecting much when I picked this up, but I was very impressed. It's not just a good Batman novel. It's a good novel.

A solid Batman story, it only suffers from the fact that it has The Riddler shoehorned in as a second villain, when it does not seem to be necessary at all. Read more
