BATMAN AND ROBIN (1997)

BATMAN AND ROBIN is director Joel Schumacher’s 1997 follow-up to his successful BATMAN FOREVER. Again, there is a new Batman in the form of George Clooney, the same Robin (Chris O’Donnell), and two new baddies - Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman). And get this, they are out to get Batman!

I’ll cut to the chase - this film sucks more than I can put into words. It is beyond me to describe just how friggin’ awful this piece of crap is. What the HELL was Joel Schumacher and Warner Brothers thinking!!!

It is considered the film that killed the Batman series. True, but it sort of spawned - in a crazy kind of way - the upcoming BATMAN BEGINS.
