Batman and Robin try to keep their relationship together even as they must stop Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy from freezing Gotham City.
After Batman Forever, Joel Schumacher went on a game of limbo with the Batman franchise, to the question “how low can you go?” answering with “yes”. Casting George Clooney as Bruce Wayne/Batman wasn’t a strong move, but the weakest point of the movie is the tirade of punchlines that Arnold Schwarzenegger uses while playing Mr. Freeze.
The dialogue is cheesy, the effects are bad, and not the hockey skating freeze minions, nor crazy psycho ecologist Uma Thurman (as Poison Ivy) or Alicia Silverstone (Batgirl) can save this movie. The movie is the fourth (and last) Batman movie to cast Michael Gough as the ever-loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth.
It’s so bad it’s good terrible, but it still lands in the Movie Vault for being so awfully fun, even getting three popcorns.
