Following Val Kilmer's portrayal of the caped crusader in Batman Forever, the fourth Batman feature stars George Clooney under the pointy-eared cowl, with Chris O'Donnell returning as Robin the Boy Wonder. This time the dynamic duo is up against the nefarious Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who is bent on turning the world into an iceberg, and the slyly seductive but highly toxic Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman), who wants to eliminate all animal life and turn the Earth into a gigantic greenhouse. Alicia Silverstone lends a hand as Batgirl, and Elle McPherson plays the thankless role of Batman/Bruce Wayne's fiancée. A sensory assault of dazzling colors, senseless action, and lavish sets run amok, this Batman & Robin offers an overdose of eye candy, but it is strictly for devoted Bat-o-philes. --Jeff Shannon

The Best "Batman" Behind "Batman Forever" And "Batman Begins." Story Takes Precedence Over Comic-Book Schtick.

In the original "Batman" & "Batman Returns," the storylines (or what shreds there were) were overwhelmed by the comic-book schtick left over from the wonderful 1960's "Batman" series. The schtick was fine for the series, but for the films...AUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. GOOD GRIEF! In "Batman Forever," Akiva Goldsman took over the screenwriting duties and the schtick was eliminated, giving way to a firmly grounded storyline. The same with its excellent follow-up "Batman & Robin" (which I fail to see why it performed badly at the box office). Sadly, the franchise went into hibernation after this great film. There was only one thing missing (for which I would've given it 4/1/2 stars, but I decided on giving it the full 5, since this site doesn't allow reviewers to give half-star ratings) and that was romance between Dick & Barbara. The acting, storyline and visual effects were top-notch. Rated PG for some stylized action and mild innuendo.

Good campy action movie!

I am shocked to read over all the very negative reviews for Batman and Robin.
I think people should watch the movie again and judge then.

This movie has plenty of colorful action and good art direction. This movie doesn't take itself seriously nor is it as dark as Batman returns which is different but good. It has corny one-liners and silly moments that many people probably dislike; however, I enjoyed the silliness very much, the humor prevented the movie from becoming dull and tedious.

George Clooney isn't the best batman. Alicia's character as batgirl is practically useless; however, all the other characters in the movie are fantastic. Arnold as Mr. Freeze is both comical and entertaining. His costume is fantastic.

Give this movie another chance. It is at least entertaining and very well filmed.
