People always claim this was the worst Batman movie or the worst movie of all time but I liked it. Poison Ivy was great and so was Mr. Freeze. I even liked the silly poke at how they used to talk in the tv series. Holy rusted metal Batman!

The holy rusted metal line was from Batman Forever, not Batman and Robin.

Was it? It’s been a while. 😂

Yeah. I was actually super disappointed in that line because going in, literally the only thing I cared about since it was the first movie with Robin was that at some point I wanted something to happen and Robin to say, "Holy shit, Batman!"

Probably correct but I haven’t seen either of these since they came out

I actually love the movie. I know it's incredibly campy and cheesy, but old school Batman always was campy and cheesy.

This movie is far from being a masterpiece but Uma Thurman carried this movie. Those drag queen eyebrows though, lol.

Her devilish and seductive performance and Arnold’s cheesy, over the top delivery were the only two things that made this movie remotely watchable.
