Overview

Batman and his sidekick Robin attempt to the foil the sinister schemes of a deranged set of new villains, most notably the melancholy Mr. Freeze, who wants to make Gotham City into an arctic region, and the sultry Poison Ivy, a botanical femme fatale. As the Dynamic Duo contend with these bad guys, a third hero, Batgirl, joins the ranks of the city's crime-fighters. Wikipedia ↗

About the Film

Batman & Robin is a 1997 American superhero film directed by Joel Schumacher, the fourth Batman film and the entry that effectively killed the franchise for eight years until Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins. George Clooney takes over as Batman, joined by Chris O'Donnell's Robin and Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl, as they battle Mr. Freeze, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, an ice-obsessed villain desperately seeking a cure for his cryogenically frozen wife, and Poison Ivy, played by Uma Thurman, an eco-terrorist who can control plant life and bewitch men with a kiss.

Batman & Robin is widely considered one of the worst films ever made, a critical and commercial disaster that pushed the franchise's campiness past the breaking point. Arnold Schwarzenegger's barrage of ice-related puns, the notorious Bat-credit-card, rubber nipples on the Bat-suits, and a tone that oscillated between children's cartoon and toy commercial created a film that satisfied nobody. Batman & Robin earned $238 million worldwide on a $125 million budget, a significant decline from Batman Forever, and George Clooney has spent decades apologizing for the film.
