I legitimately enjoyed Batman Forever last time I watched it, though admittedly that was years and years ago. I did not enjoy Batman and Robin, though, but maybe I was just taking it too seriously. I don't think I've ever actually seen the Tim Burton Batman films. I never watched The Dark Knight Rises either. I'm kind of a failure as a Batman fan.
If forced at gunpoint to pick the best film of last year I'd probably agree on Fury Road. There are four other films I'd put in the same calibre though (Inside Out, The Martian, Ex Machina, Brooklyn). Star Wars is just a hair below those three, probably a 9/10 where the others are likely to be 10/10.

“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain. If you can’t lick ’em, join ’em. If it hurts, repeat it. But to praise despair is to condemn delight, to embrace violence is to lose hold of everything else. We have almost lost hold; we can no longer describe happy man, nor make any celebration of joy.”
-Ursula K. Le Guin, “ The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas”
“I never knew a man could tell so many lies
He had a different story for every set of eyes
How can he remember who he’s talking to?
’Cause I know it ain’t me, and I hope it isn’t you”
-Neil Young, “Ambulance Blues” | | Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V. | Vaulting, veering, vomiting up the values that victimized me, feeling vast,
feeling virginal... was this how he felt? This verve, this vitality... this vision...
La voie... la vérité... la vie. | (SPOILER)
