Our take on Batman & Robin
Joel Schumacher's 1997 comic-book adventure pits Batman and Robin against a rogues' gallery led by the melancholy Mr. Freeze, who plots to turn Gotham City into a frozen wasteland, and the seductive, plant-wielding Poison Ivy. As the duo take on this pair, a new ally, Batgirl, joins the city's crime-fighters. Squarely in the action, adventure and science-fiction mode, it favors bright, larger-than-life spectacle, arch villainy and gadget-filled heroics over shadow and grit. It's aimed at viewers happy to embrace a playful, theatrical take on the character, and at fans curious to see how the caped crusader's franchise looked at its most flamboyant.
