I do enjoy Batman and Robin in the same way I enjoy Die Another Day, they fall into the its so bad its good category.
Yes, at least they are entertaining. And they do spice things up with their formulas: Bond getting captured, the Bat Family getting screen time. And above all with B & R: no mafia references!
He really needs to move forward. It's getting annoying, and his acting hasn't improved or changed much since the role.
I agree @MaxCasino . The joke is stale. It seems he brings it up any chance he gets. I dunno, maybe he's trying to be humble about it? But seriously, leave it in the past.
I do get the feeling Clooney talks about this film a little too much.
Thank you, @peter for your argument with me. And @Fire_and_Ice_Returns please know I’m not criticizing you for posting the video. You’re actually helping me prove my case, George needs to move on. Our George (Lazenby) did. He doesn’t go overboard with his one-time Bond jokes.
Great review, @mattjoes your right about how this Gotham City looks. Joel Schumacher did Gotham right. He also gets blamed too much for the poor reception of the movie. Really, it’s Warner Bros’ fault, in more ways than one. As for the film itself, I like the increased use of the Bat-Family and not using mobsters as villains in retrospect. Plus, it gave us the Dark Knight trilogy. Sometimes you have to sink to the bottom to rise highly at the top. George Clooney really needs to learn that from Batman and Robin.
Anyway, if I have to choose between B&R and Superman IV (or even between B&R and Superman III), I'll happily give B&R another viewing. Even the terrible "I love you, old man" doesn't distract me nearly as much as what sank those other two films.
No comparison, it’s not even worth saying. The previous one was funny on a genuine level, but also sharp and exciting.
Sorry to change topics, but I just watched THE BATMAN all the way through for probably the third time. I had enjoyed it in the theater, and on the follow-up watch. But I appreciated it at a far greater degree this time. I was very invested, and I enjoyed every second of it (well, not every second, there were a few snatches of dialogue that rubbed me the wrong way). I love that they managed to work in the four classic TV villains, all in interesting and unique ways (I wish they had kept in the deleted Joker scene, I think it enhances to the film in an organic way and adds to the tapestry of the universe they are building. Normally I’m not a fan of including pieces that the Director initially dismissed for whatever reason in the initial film release itself, but this time I think it would have fit nicely, I’m sure it was disregarded simply because of the film’s length. ). This works great as a one off, but I’m glad to see a sequel coming. I just hope they don’t lose sight of what they’re doing here, and become too self-conscious, and start overdoing what they think worked audiences for the first time, as superhero filmmakers tend to do. I’d rather they keep trying to surprise us, with new characters and odd conventions. Obviously, The Joker needs his day in this universe. As much as I admire this portrayal of The Penguin, I’m not happy about a TV series coming out to supplement the films. As we’ve seen over the last few years, that tends to dilute the product, and take away a good bit of the excitement and anticipation that is unique to a theatrical release.

I'm just curious what it will turn out to be. I'm already on board knowing that J2 will not be a conventional film. Bring on the crazy!
I can see where you are coming from with that. I was hoping that Mike Flanagan could make his Clayface spinoff movie. Honestly, I'm getting tired of the Penguin, he's kind of being overused, akin to General Zod with Superman. I'd like to see certain other Batman get used as well, like the Ventriloquist, Mad Hatter, Maxie Zeus, Professor Pyg, and Punchline. Same with the Bat-Family, it's time for some fresh characters, to bad Batgirl got cancelled.
Even though I enjoyed the first Joker to a certain extent, I have to agree. I can sort of understand the logic behind the Penguin series, but I can’t say I understand the motivation behind creating an entire continuity based around Batman’s greatest nemesis without bothering to including Batman himself.
I love that, I’ve watched it over 100 times. That Freeze Ray gets me every time.
These are the good times.

Glad you liked it. There's a few other compilations of people trolling him which are pretty hilarious.
If I was to include it in my rankings, a couple of post above, the first season of the television show would be in the third spot.
I swathed this film several times at the cinema. This scene was awesome back in the day, it still is.
Elliot Goldenthal's score is epic.
I very much agree. I love it then and now. Also, true that Goldenthal's Batman scores were earworms.
Batman and Supergirl were both the best things about The Flash. It’s a shame that neither Keaton or Calle aren’t going to reprise their roles (for now). In retrospect, it’s impossible for me to watch Ezra Miller in anything now. They need to be institutionalized. Not since Woody Allen or Charlie Sheen have I had this problem. That baby scene at the beginning of the movie should have been cut. It was also lazy to bring back Zod. It should have been a Flash villain. As for Andy Muschietti directing Batman Brave and the Bold, I could go either way. It is time for the Bat-family get some cinematic work done, as well as some new villains. Talia needs a more thought out storyline, and with Damian Wayne being in the movie, this should happen.
