This superhero adventure finds Batman (George Clooney) and his partner, Robin (Chris O'Donnell), attempting to the foil the sinister schemes of a deranged set of new villains, most notably the melancholy Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who wants to make Gotham into an arctic region, and the sultry Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman), a plant-loving femme fatale. As the Dynamic Duo contends with these bad guys, a third hero, Batgirl (Alicia Silverstone), joins the ranks of the city's crime-fighters.

Critics Consensus

Joel Schumacher's tongue-in-cheek attitude hits an unbearable limit in Batman & Robin resulting in a frantic and mindless movie that's too jokey to care much for.

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

An amiable, almost farcical Batman episode, with George in Nespresso mode.

Rated: 3/5

Flavorwire

Schumacher is like a bad stepdad who thinks we'll love him if he just feeds us candy all day. (Yes, Burton is the daddy in this metaphor - the manic-depressive, annoyingly emo daddy.)

Wall Street Journal

Of all modern Batmans, George Clooney bears the closest physical resemblance to the comic-book hero, but there isn't much to say about his performance because there isn't much performance to discuss.

For the Win (USA Today)

It’s hard to hate a movie that’s so fun, even if it’s quite flawed.

If you can look past the film’s obvious flaws, Batman & Robin is still a fun time and it knows exactly what it wants to be: a kooky, nutty story made for kids.

It's not good, but it's not the total disaster its legacy would suggest. As an ode to the Silver Age of the Caped Crusader, it gets a lot of things right, but the pacing grinds to a halt any time one of our heroes is on screen. Thank god for Uma Thurman.

Rated: 2.5/5

It pains me to write this, as I’ve been a Batman fan since I could first remember, but this movie is borderline unwatchable. Everything from the script, to the way it’s shot/edited, leaves one wondering what the Hell everybody involved with it was thinking, as it was being made.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

A severely flawed film but a source of some fond nostalgia. I’d argue that both George Clooney and Val Kilmer could have been excellent Batmen if they only had decent stories to tell.

Pays homage to the 60's Batman, but made within the timeline where the darker, more serious Batman was becoming a mainstay.

George Clooney is clearly the worst Batman and kinda ruins it but other than that everyone else played their roles well.

This movie is a waste of time. Even if you liked Batman Forever you can't like this one. George Clooney as Batman is one of the worst casting choices ever. There are way to much villains and the horrible action scènes go on for way to long. Robin and batgirl are characters you can't enjoy in any possible way. The movie feels like it never ends. The only thing okay about this movie is Alfred his side story that gets a bit emotional. Don't watch this movie please. It's a waste of time.
