However , when Joel Schumacher took over the franchise with 1995’sBatman Forever , the series took a sharp , jarring turn in terms of look and optical elan . or else ofDanny DeVito ’s grotesque and terrifying Penguin , lover got a spandex - habilitate Jim Carrey prancing across the screenland as the Riddler . 1997’sBatman & Robinwasn’t much well , with seemingly every other phone line of Arnold Schwarzenegger ’s Mr. Freeze being a cringe - worthy ice pun . The latter picture show may have been more in line with the campiness of Adam West ’s Batman of the sixties , but the sudden and severe change in style give many fan scratching their heads and starve for more of the Burton - verse .
