Batman & Robin Stinks to the High Heavens
I’m flipping channels and come across Batman & Robin. Since I hadn’t seen it, I thought, “What the heck?” Now I wished I hadn’t. As good as Batman Begins was, Batman & Robin was that bad. Not just weak, but horribly wrong; it was laughable and frankly embarrassing.
We can’t point only at Clooney because, to be fair, the whole concept was a joke. Joel Schumacher deserves a lion’s share of the blame for every cliche and poorly executed scene. It was the polar opposite to Batman Begins’ attempt at superhero realism. Batman Begins was directed by Christopher Nolan who did an amazing job with Momento in 2000 and directed The Prestige, which I still need to see.
I just felt the need to warn anyone who might consider watching this movie. It’s now on my list of Top 10 All Time Worst Movies.

Sadly I love all of the Batman movies, though this is by far my least favorite. Arny as Mr. Freeze? Come one, that’s just horrible. I can’t help but love Batman movies just for the fact that they are batman movies, but this one was rather sad.
I think it was the whole Arny as Mr. Freeze and George Clooney as Batman combo that killed it the most. I didn’t mind Robin at all, though.
Nothing can or will ever compare to the original though. There is no better director for a Batman movie than Tim Burton, and Jack Nicholson as the Joker was just perfect.

I wanted to like the original. I was really rooting for it, but to me it was just so-so, whereas I loved Batman Begins.
I need to start my list of all-time horrible movies. 8^)
