TheLastBaron Posted May 23, 2014 Batman and Robin is still probably top 3 for me behind Returns and Forever purely because of my love for the Cloon-dog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted May 23, 2014 Let's set the record straight here: Batman & Robin is fantastically entertaining. It's 100% camp, it's all recycled and poorly done, everyone in that film is having a blast and so should you. The only thing that falls flat is all the Poison Ivy/Bane stuff. Uma Thurman just doesn't pull the cheeseball off the way Clooney and Schwarzenegger do, which detracts from an otherwise 10/10 movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted May 24, 2014 Let's set the record straight here: Batman & Robin is fantastically entertaining. That's not how I remember it. Batman Forever is entertainingly camp. Batman & Robin was boring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SecretAsianMan Posted May 24, 2014 When I was a kid and read the Knightfall/quest/end story, I thought the costume was badass. But then again I was like 10 so what the hell did I know. That's probably what they were going for and at the time it worked. My favorite part of the Batman & Robin movie was the bit where Mr. Freeze cries and his tear freezes on his cheek and turns into snow. Mostly because that was an idea originally conceived by Paul Dini for the classic "Heart of Ice" episode of Batman: The Animated Series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, watching a friend play Batman: Arkham City, I'm really disappointed in every aspect of the Freeze character there. His delivery is flat, his design is overdone but not in a visually interesting way, and his pathos is really surface-level. It improved every single one of his lines just to read them in a deep-voiced Austrian accent, so yeah, I'm going to stick up for the Schwarzenegger Freeze, if not the Clooney Batman.

I'm with you there. I didn't really care much for Freeze in the game except during the boss fight itself. I thought the actual fight was interesting and fun (albeit in a super gamey way) because it forced you to use different tactics and gadgets instead of being an arena style fight or a standard stealth sequence like the rest of the game.

syntheticgerbil Posted May 24, 2014 Well there's certainly such a thing as the "wrong" batsuit: Why are his hands so fucking tiny? Why are his awful muscles bulging out of the right lower side of his shoulder armor? It looks like his lowest rib is bent out. Also every square or rectangle on the guy is somewhat lopsided. Yet another super hero comic book artist who completely fails at understanding form/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yet another super hero comic book artist who completely fails at understanding form/ I like that his chest gives the impression that he used bubble wrap as a protective device. Also worth noting is that the armor includes metal claws, a laser, razor-sharp Batarangs, and a flame-thrower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twig Posted May 25, 2014 Everything Kelly Jones ever did on batman was super over the top and exaggerated. Definitely not my cup of tea. Is that his knee? Or his shoulder? Or a cancerous growth?
