BATMAN & ROBIN (1997): Awfully Good Movies

[@UnchartedMedia]

Honestly as a sequel to the '66 movie and series, this works pretty well. The vivid colors, the dutch angles, celebrity villain casting and overall cheesy tone. I think this movie accomplished what it was going for, the problem is that it wasn't what audiences were wanting.

[@adampatino5372]

BINGO. It's people's own fault for going to see a Schumacher film and expecting it to play out like it was directed by Scorsese. Gimme a break, give him 2

No, absolutely hate him for this utterly ignorant shit-show. There were three decades between Adam West and this shit, but he couldn't be bothered to think about what the audience wanted, only what he wanted. In other words, he couldn't learn from Superman III. That's some high-level stupidity.

It’s a shame he didn’t know better of not falling into the sequel trap of repeating the same beats as the previous film, a main reason why this film fails.

I was 5 when this movie came out. My dad took me late at night to see it one night. The fact that he took me out late to see a movie already made the experience awesome, I loved the movie haha. RIP dad, I love you. I haven't seen it since, but it is definitely interesting as an adult to see the differences in a Batman film directed by a very flamboyant gay man. He loved the batnipples, there isn't a single other Batman director that I could imagine even thinking of something like that hahaha.

The fans have spoken. We want comics to get with the times. Cis white males have always had the lead roles. It's time for a real version of Wolverine like the comics have it drawn and written... a female version or at least a Trans version. Rumor has it Elliot Page is playing a live action Wolverine and it is going to be amazing. DC is bringing Tim Drake Robin to the big screen. Rumor there is also Elliot Page playing Robin and finally we will see what DC fans like myself have wanted to see, a Batman and Robin romantic relationship as it has always been hinted in the comics and even back with Adam West. What's so wrong with that?

[@SupermanKalL]

It was the studio execs at Warner Brothers (who also owns DC Comics, the publishers of Batman comic books), that demanded that the Batman film series become lighter and more family friendly in tone, to be more mainstream, now opposed to director Tim Burton's dark and serious approach, which was even more so with the second film in 1992's Batman Returns, as parents criticized its PG-13 rating due to the darker tone and violence, while at the same time trying to promote McDonald's happy meals and toys to kids, which McDonald's dropped the whole happy meal campaign altogether upon parents' backlash. This made Warner execs to change up the direction of the Batman film series with Burton later departing (he stayed on as producer only for Batman Forever) and Joel Schumacher taking over as director with the next two films, Batman Forever and Batman and Robin. Michael Keaton turned down a huge paycheck to play the character again and was not fond with the direction that Schumacher was going with, and decided to leave after a few meetings with Schumacher. We know what became of the rest of the former Batman film series, it slowly went downhill, with the changes shown in Batman Forever (which has its good and bad moments, but its at least still good to watch), but it got much worse with how Batman and Robin ended up being, pure silly camp, going back to the 1960s Batman TV series (or even worse maybe). When the original 1989 film by Burton went back to the character's dark and serious era, finally shedding off the 1960s Batman TV show's camp vibe as well to the fans and general audience, and like how the comic books had done since the 1970s onward, Batman & Robin brought back the bad history of the character's camp era again which killed that Batman film series completely. Schumacher has accepted the blame over these many years and has apologized about B&R ended up being, but blame must go to the bosses at Warner Brothers for interfering in the first place.

This film is a perfect example of "so bad it's good". I like it for what it is. It's a guilty pleasure and when watching it after years it's just funny and entertaining. It is good because it's bad.

[@narcisosanz8137]

​I truly can't see how B&R is a "so bad it's good" movie. It's clear they had this cheesy, campy vision from the beginning and they stuck with it. This universe is crazy, but everything is glued together by a good set and costume design. When you think about it, the bat-nipples are actually SO cohesive with the kitsch Gotham city with huge greek statues everywhere. And I think this movie have way more of a vision, good FX, soundtrack and good themes than half of the MCU's "good" movies. It feels as honest and personal as it could be under all WB's crazy direction, Joel did a great job and the movie still has a heart - which is more than I can say about nearly all the super flicks released in the last ten years or so.

The diamond thing is actually clever. Diamonds are nicknamed “ice” by gangsters because an easy way to tell if a diamond is fake is by touching it to your lip. If it’s cold, it could be a diamond due to its high heat conductivity. Putting a diamond to your lip feels a lot colder than a cubic zirconia. It’s like how rocks always feel cold to the touch. It absorbs your heat. Hence “ice”. They needed to give a criminal something criminal to do so diamonds was actually pretty clever. (Obviously there are smarter ways to tell it’s a fake, but they’re gangsters so..)

I am okay with the campy tone, but there are several problems with the movie. 1. Tonal issues between being an homage to the 60s show and being a continuation of the 90s series. Mr. Freeze’s backstory about his wife’s disease conflicts with his portrayal being like the 60s Mr. Freeze. The campy parts conflict with the Alfred plot. 2. George Clooney is a bad Batman. He doesn’t act any different when he’s Bruce Wayne and Batman. Adam West did have a slight performance change between the two roles, even though it wasn’t as much as Michael Keaton or Val Kilmer. 3. Robin is annoying. He’s more annoying than in Batman Forever, where he was more tolerable and had an arc that this movie threw away. 4. The fight scenes are bad and wirework is very obvious.

Joel Shumacher got far more hate for this movie than he rightfully deserved. As a homage to the Adam West series in the style of Rocky Horror camp this movie would've worked perfectly as a stand alone film. Problem was WB and Shumacher misread their audience established by the original Burton films. They weren't the older adults who grew up with the 60's series, but were the younger generation that was introduced to Frank Miller's darker and more grounded graphic novels. But they wanted to sell their Happy Meal toys and decided to make the drastic tonal shift. It should've been treated as an offshoot, like the Lego Batman movies, and not a continuation of the main franchise.

[@porko882]

I don't think it was entirely Schumacher's fault, he made exactly what the studio told him to make, They wanted a campy childrens toy commercial more in the style of the 1966 series, they said it needs to be "toyetic" and to have a lot of cool weapons, Batsuites and vehicles.

6:09 FWIW - this movie made my life... interesting.... as I was going through boot camp in the U.S. Army. The drill sergeants had me shout lines frequently like "Ice to see you," "Cool party," and "The name is Freeze, learn it well..." Sigh. Too many one-liners for one movie.

Didn't know Robin said cowabunga. I'm really trying to find things I like about this. But I was a teenager really high on Arnold Schwarzeneggar movies at the time it came out and I've still never watched this turkey

Every single time its you doing the reviews its extremely low volume . I watch this playlists when im trying to sleep. So as soon as your video is over and it goes to next it becomes super loud. Standardize the sound throughout.

Not awfully good, just awful, in every way. The costumes and sets look like they were designed by a 4 year old, the acting is bad, and the action is poorly choreographed. If you add up all the pauses for the lame one liners it would add up to half the movies run time! The actors are lucky to have careers after this abomination. Schumacher is lucky he proves he is a good director for his many actually good movies.

R.Kelly is a terrible person but Gotham City is a great song

[@R-L-I]

It is!

I have a soft spot for Batman Forever. I thought that Val Kilmer's behavior on The Island of Dr. Moreau was the reason why he wasn't brought back to the old Batman franchise. Go figure.

But, Batman and Robin hasn't aged well at all. I actually liked this movie back in high school. But, once you watch this movie with a more mature mind, you have no choice but to realize that this movie is pure crap! 💩

This Movie is the least watch in my VHS tapes as a kid and this is why. Batman Subzero was a better batman film and it's Animated and stays true to the Mr. Freeze character as well as having a conclusion to his arc from BatmanTAS.

I don't care what anyone says.... I love Batman & Robin!

[@Blaque_Beard]

What is the deal with your volume leveling in this video? I went from cranking the volume knob to hear at all to having my eardrums blown out for comedic effect at the 2:58 mark and back again. Also, keep up the great videos!

[@RadioofHorror]

And the WB Bat movie people haven't touched Freeze or Ivy since lol, only on the embarrassingly bad sometimes good Gotham or Batwoman ....gee can't imagine why

[@seereadnhear]

Is the first and only time I can walk you say I walked out of movie theater and couldn't explain what the hell I just watched. The major lift down after success of Batman Forever
