Batman Triumphs is a 1998 superhero film directed by Tim Burton, written by Akiva Goldsman, and produced by Burton and Denise Di Novi, and is the fourth installment of Warner Bros. initial Batman film series, following Batman Continues with Michael Keaton, Chris O'Donnell, Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito, Michelle Pfeiffer, Tommy Lee Jones, and Jim Carrey reprising the roles of Bruce Wayne / Batman, Dick Grayson Robin, Jack Napier/The Joker, Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin, Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Harvey Dent/Two-Face, and Edward Nygma/The Riddler, respectively. It also stars Jeff Goldblum as Jonathon Crane / The Scarecrow and Uma Thurman as Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy, and introduces Alicia Silverstone as Barbara Wilson/Batgirl.
After the success of Batman Forever, Burton and Goldsman wanted the fourth film to be even darker and scarier and also brighter than the third film. They also made Batgirl Alfred's niece, because they want Alfred to have a central role in the film, and having Scarecrow and Poison Ivy as the villains.
It is followed by 2001's Batman Crusades.
