About Batman & Robin

Batman and his sidekick Robin attempt to the foil the sinister schemes of a deranged set of new villains, most notably the melancholy Mr. Freeze, who wants to make Gotham City into an arctic region, and the sultry Poison Ivy, a botanical femme fatale. As the Dynamic Duo contend with these bad guys, a third hero, Batgirl, joins the ranks of the city's crime-fighters.

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.
