Batman Forever blessed us with the greatest Jim Carrey story ever though
"I was really looking forward to working with Tommy because he was a fantastic actor, and he still is. I love him. I mean, he's amazing. But he was a little crusty…I think he was just a little freaked out because
Dumb and Dumber had come out on the same weekend as
Cobb, and
Cobb was his big swing for the fences--pardon the pun. And that didn't work out, and it freaked him out. I think it made him--I walked into a restaurant the night before our big scene in the Riddler's lair and the maître d said, 'You're working with Tommy Lee Jones, aren't you?' I said, 'I am.' He said, 'He's in the back corner.' I said, 'Oh, great. I'll go say hello.' And I went up to say hi and
the blood drained from his face in such a way that I realized that I had become the face of his pain or something. And he got kind of shaking and hugged me and said, 'I hate you. I
really don't like you.' And I was like, 'Wow, okay, what's going on, man?' And he said, '
I cannot sanction your buffoonery.'"
still cracks me up....

Why wouldn't anyone want to play a Bat villain?"
