If I was rating films based on how many puns it contained about cold/ice/freeze, this would be a 10 out of 5. Unfortunately, I rate films based on quality and entertainment. Sorry Joel Schumacher, but you know what you did.

True story - I saw this in the theater four times. FOUR! Bat-fan through thick and thin! #Batman&Robin #BatmanDay

A misunderstood masterpiece. I laughed so hard it hurt to breathe. It's one of the worst movies I've ever seen and yet I want more.

Holy rubber nipples Batman! The person who thought this was a good idea should be keelhauled in a frozen lake.

Ahhh, the movie that managed to kill the Batman on screen for almost a decade! SO MUCH HYPE for this movie, there was no way anything could have lived up to it--so the fact that ended up being this poorly written & acted has multiplied the hate for it. Of course, the bat-skates, bat nipples and bat credit card don't help.

Schwarzenegger's ice-related puns are the equivalent of dad jokes--they make you groan and roll your eyes even as you admit they're occasionally clever, but you don't want to give the joke-teller that satisfaction because they're also so dumb. Mystery Science Theater had the best Mr Freeze joke with "Behold, I bring you good tidings of joy" in Schwarzenegger's accent as Mr Freeze was falling out of the sky.

I also HATE how they threw Bane in as an afterthought and turned him into a clown. That to me is one of the most unforgivable sins of the movie.

This is seriously one of the best Batman movies ever made. Especially if you expected a camp reimagining of the 1960's TV show. To those that don't agree, lighten up! Batman is too serious anyway. Did anybody watch the Brave and the Bold TV series? He ate nachos! :)

"Hi, Freeze. I'm Batman."

Best nonchalant yet flashy introduction to Batman EVER.

Also, fun cameo by John Glover!

**_==it's really really bad, fam==_**

Batman & Robin, god-awful doesn’t even begin to describe this abomination. Director Joel Schumacher has turned the Batman series into a farce, and not even a funny one at that...just a sad, pathetic embarrassment. When Poison Ivy uses her feminine wiles to take over Gotham a rift forms between Batman and Robin and begins to tear them apart; meanwhile Mr. Freeze plans to plunge the city into an ice age. Arnold Schwarzenegger is spectacular bad as Mr. Freeze, delivering some of the worst one-liners of his career, and Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl isn’t any better. And let’s not even talk about Bane. Batman & Robin is a black scar on the franchise that will never be lived down.

It could have been worse
"I AM THE GOVERNATOR"

"Batman & Robin" was hands down my favorite Batman movie when I was a kid, with Poison Ivy being my third childhood crush after Rita Repulsa and Queen Beryl (I know, I had problems).

After I grew up, it still remained in my heart as one of those "so bad it's good" masterpieces. While "Batman Forever" was just plain dull and forgettable, "Batman & Robin" went deliberately campy and cheesy all the way, with gags that are so dumb that they became iconic and memorable costume design as the cherry on top. Not nearly as entertaining as I remembered, but still a guilty addiction of mine nevertheless.

Unlike what most people say, I always thought Clooney was an interesting choice for Bruce Wayne, if only he didn't totally phone in. The whole cast sucked in this anyway, no exception.

Never really got why this one gets so much slack. Yes it's bad, but in a similar way to the 60s TV show. It's pure camp, and certainly more entertaining than Batman Forever.

Without Batman & Robin, you don't get Batman Begins. Thank you, Joel Schumacher!

I wanna pinch da rubba nips

I remember back in the day i defended this movie, now watching it again after many years... wow is this bad and boring... from the first set of movies Def this one is the worst...

The movie itself isn't terrible, but the dialogue that is mainly, but not exclusively, given to Mr. Freeze is just painful. A few shots/cinematography decisions were, in my opinion, bad. If it weren't for them and the cheesy dialogue, along with the addition of Batgirl near the end of the movie, it would have been decent. But all of these combined just ruined it. This doesn't even get into the fact that Batman coincidentally has a tool he needs whenever he needs it or the fact that Poison Ivy's goal of freezing the planet sort of goes against her environmental ideals (although she states _her_ plants would survive).

I think this movie should've had a different director. Schumacher just cheesed it up way too damn much. Batman Forever was great, but this crossed the line. It's obvious why Batman Unchained never happened.

Batman, Robin and Batgirl learn of an impending mass attack on Gotham City from Mr Freeze. What do they do? Apparently (and offscreen), they decide to put on new costumes. (which btw, look absolutely terrible)

This is just one of SO many things that are terrible about this movie.

Gets too much hate from fun-hating comic book nerds who live in their mom’s basement! This movie may have been made to sell action figures but it’s still good in a campy way. It’s fun to watch and this being one of my first introductions to Batman growing up, I just thought it was super cool to see the villains on screen. Uma and Arnold do a wonderful job portraying Ivy and Freeze. Batman is portrayed many ways, you can like the video games and comics and still appreciate the cheesiness of this film.

Batman without charisma, Freeze also stiff (like Arnold in every movie ;) ). Uma tries to save the situation, but it is not enough to successfully continue the brand. ps. Good Smashing Pumpkins song. ;>

The worst film ever made! Terrible acting, directing. Only Chris O'Donnel appears to have some talent.
According to Batman, "Superman does not want a partner because partners tend to want cars that chicks dig" ?
Mr. Freeze, despite being a professor, has very a very limited vocabulary, which includes ice puns.
A terrible and incoherent movie.
Schumacher treats the entire Batman franchise like a joke and wants to insult Batman fans and the general audience. Was he on drugs when he did this train wreck?
It's not that I like my Batman to be extremely dark, but here it's extremely campy, which I don't like either.

Part of the Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher Batman series (1989–1997).

I went into this movie expecting a bad, campy version of Batman and this still managed to disappoint. I'm going to ignore all the comparisons to the dark comics, because I think that is the lightest offender here. The writing and the acting are supremely bad and really just insulting to the audience. Most characters aren't even having a conversation, they're just trading terrible puns. Uma Thurman plays sexy decently, but can't play nerdy to save her life. Dr. Fries has a lab accident that forces him to stay at cold temperatures. Apparently, it also made him insane, because he can't avoid making every terrible ice pun he can think of. It's just weird seeing a character that is suppose to be a scientist talk more like a stuffed polar bear doll with a pull string. The stunts and action scenes are probably the best parts, but they aren't enough to save the train wreck that is the dialogue.

Is is this a bad movie? Objectively, yes. Is it exactly what I want from a 90s Batman 66 adaptation? Also yes.
