Yeah, 36 but yet young enough to watch Batman Returns in theater before these cinematic insults of Burton's 😂. But for entertainment and toys enough...
Yep, same here although Batman forever definitely had more of an impact on me. That still felt like a real Batman movie and was overall just a more popular film. This movie definitely has its own cool factor, but it's absolutely a guilty pleasure these days and I can see the positives in it and it makes it very enjoyable!
@petersmithyy4556 I was too young to understand the unintentional silliness and ridiculous cheesy nature. Basically, I was just too young to understand how horribly bad this horrible film was 🤣
Eh yeah, but if people would just loosen their anus a bit and step out of the gritty darkness every once in a while, they might actually have fun with this more lighthearted bat-adventure. Batman works in every style and era, that's what makes him iconic. A hero for all seasons and moods.
@nikolaszuraff1234 in my mind, no apologies were ever needed. It was good enough, and I loved it. As a kid, my knowledge of Batman was limited, but I knew the basics enough to appreciate it for what it was. Campy, corny, and fun to watch. Not truly "Batman," but Batman enough.
I'm going to admit, this movie is definitely a guilty pleasure. For years I avoided it but now after all these crappy trying to be dark for dark sake, it's actually nice to go back and see some of the lighter attempts at Batman that we're all just about having a fun time, the kind of movie that you can bring your kids to and not be nervous about blood and guts everywhere.
@@onlyone23km honestly I would not be opposed to it, the dark stuff has been done to death. I love the flash because it seemed to bring back a little bit of the 90s Batman which I missed
@CPT_Frostie at one point, Robin actually makes reference to becoming Nightwing. I guess Schumacher was so confident that it would succeed that he teased the potential for a sequel.
I remember as a kid, this going over my head. I didnt know at the time they were both DC characters. Hell i barely knew what DC was. Or even marvel. I figured it was just joke.

@theunknowncommenter725 I love Love and Thunder honestly. Why didn't you like it? Other than it turning a mostly serious character into a comedic character, which I get.
People who sh*t on this movie fail to realize that this is a kids' movie. It is literally a live action Sunday morning cartoon! If you were a kid in the 90s, this was the BEST thing ever!
I always found this movie so comical , it’s my favourite Batman film of all time honestly I can’t lie there because everyone acting in it was a top notch comedian 🤣🔥
yes atleast you can have fun with it and there's a certain charm but with the latest schlock coming out of Marvel and most other big movies is its such a chore to get through and is so soulless
Batman and Robin (1997) is just a modern version Batman'66 and Batman Brave and the bold /silver age comics personified. As time passes, I've grown to appreciate the movie for what it is and the kind of comics it was paying homage to.
It ended on a good note. This movie was not as terrible as you might think. I think I see what Joel S. was going for here, too. The late 90s film series feels like an attempt at a combination of the camp of 70s Batman with the grit of 80s Batman. On principle, I won't spoil the ending for you, but it ties things together at the end, even if it doesn't truly follow the comics. They at least got his rationale and Batman's compassion and empathy with Fries' struggle right.
@@DJBSharpMusic yes, it absolutely was as horrible as everyone says. None of the villains were anything close to what they are supposed to be, George Clooney was terribly miscast, as was Mr Freeze and Batgirl, and the Mr Freezes and Poison Ivys goals were completely incompatible, despite working together. The only saving grace of this movie is its so bad, its actually kind of fun to watch.
@jacen8425 its still a personal favourite guilty pleasures of mine Arnold looks like he had lots of fun and so far the only live action version of Robin and Batgirl but yes the movie has many flaws but it still is entertaining by being so cheesy and campy unlike Megalopolis a movie I just watched today by Francis cord Coppola my God that movie was awful and boring.
@@Ronydoo-yv2hsdo you try to watch it a bit more as a goofy campy fun movie or “rah. Must take everything seriously!” More to being an adult then saying “mature” things.
You know the opening fight sequence is kind of fun, I think the movie would have been better if they didn't keep introducing new characters and it was just about Batman, Robin and Mr. Freeze

Rewatching scenes from past films gives us hints to how much Rocksteady took from each one. I really think that this was a huge inspiration to the team of developers despite the critics.
okay CONTROVERSIAL opinion here: Butshots aside, I don't think this movie did anything wrong with the characterization of Batman and Robin in this film until Batman thaws out Robin-after that it goes downhill. But think about it, Both Batman and Robin have dramatic entrances. For all the people who complain about the Bat Skates, Batman is so crazy prepared in the comics that he created strategies on how to take out the Justice League. Having skates in his shoes don't seem like a stretch to me and wouldn't be out of place in a comic. Batman's delegating duties to Robin is also consistent with this character. "You take the ice, I'll take the Ice Man." That's what Batman always did-he would take the big thing and Robin the small thing. Though not in this scene, the banter between the two seems like it was lifted from a comic "Who invited you?" "I was just hanging around" I thought you were going to stay at the museum and round up some thugs?" "How about 'Nice to see ya! Glad you're hear to save my life?'" "We have to blow up this rocket before it turns Gotham into a crater" "Now what? Call a Taxi?!" Then there's Robin's tarzan screams as he falls through the air which is consistent with his status as a circus boy having fun jumping through the air. And for everyone who's angry at his "cowabunga" cry, it's a cry associated with surfing, he's "surfing" across the roof and let's face it that's something a 90s rendition of Dick Grayson would shout in the comics while having the time of his life jumping from one building to another. Finally, Robin being impulsive and getting frozen is consistent with his status as a rookie. Terrible as this movie is, insufferable as this movie is, the film got their characterizations right up until this point.
The movie isn’t even terrible, it’s very intentionally supposed to be silly and it’s no different than the 1960’s tv show, the set design and direction of it is really impressive and it doesn’t deserve to be titled the worst movie ever even it’s just a fun movie
This is why I would have loved for Joel Schumacher to make the Batman film he really wanted to make, instead of the toy commercials Warner Bros wanted him to make.
As an adult, this movie is beyond silly. But as a kid, this was the perfect Batman film. There's no way my 8 year old brain would have been able to handle the complexity of Nolans' films. These were awesome for a young boy! And as much as I love Michael Caine, this will always be my Alfred
I vaguely remember the first time that I saw this car and thought to myself, what a piece of shit. The 89/92 Batmobile plus Forever Batmobile were better designed. This one has an open cockpit and it doesn't really offer much protection. The 66 Batmobile had a detachable glass canopy but it was only seen on the original Futura concept.
Not ashamed to admit that I like this film. It's bad but I don't care. I even complained to HBO about this being the only Batman film unavailable to stream.
This movie was pretty hard to watch. I LOVED the dark, film noir-ish quality of the Burton films and revered Michael Keaton’s portrayal of the Dark Knight, so this modern day throwback to Adam West’s Batman was a real slap in the face for me. I get that the studio wanted something more ‘family friendly’, but Batman’s world isn’t meant to be a Disney movie.
Batman: This is why Superman works alone. Batman gets inside the upgraded Batmobile before he heads off to save Gotham City to stop evil from destroying this beloved area
Elle McPherson is not a true Bat Lady. The true Bat Ladies are Michelle Pfeiffer, Kim Basinger, Nicole Kidman and Alicia Silverstone. Why? Because they know at the end that Batman and Bruce Wayne are one and the same man.
The movie that caused the batman movie franchise to enter a 8 year hiatus filled with movies being cancelled until Christopher Nolan came to Warner bros with these words "let's do for batman what Richard Donner did with superman in 1979"
I'm just imagining the script… “Batman slides down the tail of a T-Rex” “The henchmen fly out onto the floor on ice skates” This movie is the greatest acid trip known to man
Yes it's camp and made to sell toys but if you go in with the mindset that it's more a modern Adam West style Batman it becomes much more enjoyable despite George Clooney clearly phoning it in and Bane been awful. Arnie as Mr Freeze was so fun to watch you could tell he was having a blast acting in the movie
I actually lover this. The cinematic scenes qndeffects of ice blasts...the action and moves of Batman jumping and all esp surfing...more fun than Batman Forever, but again this is a GP genre so some scenes are obviously kiddie.
2:14 commissioner Gordon hyping up Mr freeze like he’s a wrestling announcer.

Elle McPherson is not a true Bat Lady. The true Bat Ladies are Michelle Pfeiffer, Kim Basinger, Nicole Kidman and Alicia Silverstone. Why? Because they know at the end that Batman and Bruce Wayne are one and the same man.
nice opening scene - in batman and robin [1997] film !!!!
3:55
Wannabe: Hi Freeze. I'm Batman.
Freeze: (Shut the farkup)
It was Mention by Alfred from The Lego Batman Movie.
The movie that caused the batman movie franchise to enter a 8 year hiatus filled with movies being cancelled until Christopher Nolan came to Warner bros with these words "let's do for batman what Richard Donner did with superman in 1979"
The tone is very campy and reminds me of the Adam West Batman series. But it also has a little Arkham games vibe.
The Arkham games didn't even exist yet this was 1997
I'm just imagining the script…
“Batman slides down the tail of a T-Rex”
“The henchmen fly out onto the floor on ice skates”
This movie is the greatest acid trip known to man
4:00 yabadabadooo 😂
I have more fun watching this than Batman vs Superman 😅
I never realized how kool there vehicles were
omg cringe fest! when robin breaks the wall with his bike, theres a big robin logo at the back 😂
It's all so bad isn't it
Commissioner Gordon should've said "icicles" instead of "blocks of ice" because Mr. Freeze turns everyone and everything with his freeze ray gun
Is it bad that I really like the Batmobile design in this movie?
Yes it's camp and made to sell toys but if you go in with the mindset that it's more a modern Adam West style Batman it becomes much more enjoyable despite George Clooney clearly phoning it in and Bane been awful.
Arnie as Mr Freeze was so fun to watch you could tell he was having a blast acting in the movie
I actually lover this. The cinematic scenes qndeffects of ice blasts...the action and moves of Batman jumping and all esp surfing...more fun than Batman Forever, but again this is a GP genre so some scenes are obviously kiddie.
