These shoes were worn by the character "The Riddler," portrayed by actor Jim Carrey, in the 1995 motion picture, "Batman Forever." Made by “Underground Shoes”, the size 10 leather shoes were hand-painted with green and silver glitter to match with the elaborate rhinestone suit that The Riddler wears during his final scenes. The original costumer’s tag is included with the following information, “Show: ‘Batman 3’ Char: ‘Riddler’ Actor: ‘Jim Carrey’ CG#: ‘7’ SC#: ’494-509’”. The tag is attached to the original box, which is included with the sale.
Mr. Carrey wears these shoes while sitting on his throne in Riddler’s lair on Claw Island. The Riddler confronts Batman (Val Kilmer) with the nearly impossible choice of saving either Robin (Chris O’Donnell) or Dr. Chase (Nicole Kidman). Batman manages to save them both and destroys Riddler’s brainwave device, causing him to have a massive mental collapse. Directed by Joel Schumacher, "Batman Forever," stars Val Kilmer, Tommy Lee Jones, Jim Carrey, Nicole Kidman, Chris O'Donnell, Michael Gough, and Drew Barrymore. It was nominated for three Academy Awards and a Golden Globe award. Producer Peter MacGregor-Scott stated that for the costume design, the Batman suit was redesigned along the lines of a more "MTV organic, and edgier feel." The film was a box office success, becoming the second-highest grossing film of 1995.
Comes with photos of Jim Carrey wearing the shoes in the film, a Certificate of Authenticity from the costume supervisor issued by The Golden Closet, and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll™ Certificate of Authenticity.
