Clearly, someone did, which led to Dawn of Justice.

Or maybe it was just a quick easter egg for laughs?

In Forever, Bruce also mentions Metropolis being 50 miles away.

@@onekthmatt Yup, and Alfred actually MENTIONS Superman protecting Metropolis. Not by name, but he says "that fellow flying around metropolis," which means... th-this... this film w-was... ahead of it's time. I need to re-think my life right now.

I'm so glad I wasn't hallucinating that line🤩

Batman and Robin was actually replaced by Batman (1989) on Netflix which is good and bad at the same time. I kinda want to watch this live action cartoon without admitting that I paid money to own it

I bought the 4 movie set for a low price because I am a completionist and so can you.

Nick94956 it was one of the best

It’s not intentionally terrible because nobody wants to make a shit movie

@@Nick94956 There's always libraries.

NO... they just did a slight retool of Dick Grayson's more ICONIC Nightwing costume, but made it red ... and gave him what I THINK is a more Batman Beyond bat-suit look while still keeping it more or less still in the asthetics of Nightwing.

I am really starting to get into a lot of the New 52 Batman stuff.. pretty awesome

Actually I believe this Robin costume was designed based on the costume from the 'Robin' miniseries in 1991, the one designed for Tim Drake, so if the new 52 Nightwing costume were based on a Robin costume, it would be that one.

@@KamenRiderHellhound while im not positive on when it was made there is a red nightwing suit that it red somewhat like this doubt this inspired it tho

Holy shit, you’re so right

Thank you. I walked a path like that.

Agreed. I feel like it meant to be campy on purpose as an homage to the Adam West films. People were complaining that 'Batman Returns' was too dark and gothic and they tried to make them colorful and fun (like Marvel movies now)

It would be if the main leads didn't phone it in and play it so seriously, it didn't look so garish, and there wasn't so many tone shifts that made you think it was trying to be Burton again. It's just not joyous enough to be a good parody. It truly is just all a phoned-in mess.

It's virtually impossible to take Batman & Robin seriously, even by accident. I don't like like it even though it's deliberately stupid, and I'll explain why. I think the problem has more to do with continuity than style. As we know, people have different tastes and some really do enjoy this movie for its homage to Batman '66, and that's fine. But while Batman & Robin may be homage, it is a sequel to movies that were not. And that's just it. Does anyone really accept Bat-nipples and Bat-credit cards as the natural progression of Michael Keaton's Batman? I rather doubt it. As it was, there were arguments against Christian Bale's Batman joining the DC Extended Universe for fear of undermining the realistic tone Chris Nolan established in his films. Now, as a standalone movie, it would have made sense for Batman & Robin to be like it was, because it wouldn't have affected the quality of the earlier installments. Batman '66 is fine in its own universe. Batman & Robin would have been fine in its own universe, or maybe even as a direct sequel to Batman '66. In fact, if Warner Bros. decided right now to make a campy version of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns as a follow-up to Batman '66 with Adam West and Burt Ward reprising their roles, I'm certain many would line up to see it when it came out. I most definitely would.

Pfft, it totally is a stylistic issue, I gave up considering it the same universe after Forever. No, it's not nice to look at, too much neon and clashing colors with odd shadows, and too many creepy statues. Also the obvious toy commercial vibes. It's clearly not deliberately stupid, so much as utterly phoned in by everyone.

Same with me but now that i have grown up i really don't like them and a proof to that they were made for kids

don't hate them, hate leads to anger, anger leads to the dark side.

Cortster the only reason I hate this is because the bat nipples and puns

Also the unbelievable sky surfing

I liked this movie as a kid.Then I heared I was supposed to hate it.And I never did.Same with the"Star Wars"prequels. EXPECIALLY"The Phantom Menace".Still my favourite"Star Wars"movie of all times.I don't care what the world says.That movie is *AWSOME!And III lllove it!* And honestly...I STILL have to understand WHY people think it's a terrible movie.I don't see anything bad about it.Same with the Halle Berry's"Catwoman".

It was better than Batman Forever. That's not saying much though.

Even Christian Bale's Batman killed someone

He killed some brain cells, does that count?

Mr Rieper Batman forever was much better

Jarrett Smith who cares about killing ppl

He already did that with his parents. He realized he needed to handle Alfred's death differently.

Re: Adam West, this is exactly what I think. It's like they took the camp from the 60's show and shot it up to eleven, down to how the actors play Batman and Robin.

This movie also had some of the coolest gear ever. The snow batsuits looked awesome, the vehicles were definitely great for being over the top, the baterangs and grappling hooks look so badass i still might buy some real ones if they have them

TheR3aper5 I loved it as a kid too, people r mad because now all superhero movies aren't cartooney, but if u go in looking for a fun cartoon you'll enjoy it

TheR3aper5 well said my friend

I think a lot of people do, the thing is nobody was wanting that back in the late 90s. Burton officially killed off the idea of 60s Batman in 89, and this movie seemed like a major step back at the time. With that said, now that the Nolan Trilogy is here and Batman is continuing on, it's nice that we can now look back at this movie for what it is and actually have fun with it. I personally can't wait to see them do a serious rendition of Mr. Freeze on the big screen, but with the Arkham games in existence and everything else going on, Schwarzenegger and his goofy puns are just fine. :D

Because, we already have two homages to the Adam West Batman TV show; that one Kim Possible episode entitled,, "The Fearless Ferret" and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. And they were done perfectly.

Plenty do. Difference is, is that Adam West era Batman had a lighter look, the innuendos were subtle, and everyone gave a crap...no one tried at all, the villains went generically hammy and the good guys had no emotion behind them at all.

People realize that, and they also realize that it's still a shitty movie. Doesn't matter what it was an homage to.

WreckNRepeat So what if it is? Why does that matter in the grand scheme of life? What does it have to do with the price of cheese on a Tuesday morning?

What about The Lego Movie? That was made to be a movie length toy commercial.

Sorry that was Childish and Immature, I just get angry when I see one of my Childhood Icons with....A BAT CREDIT CARD!

Linkara: ...Batman is rich. Critic: A BAT CREDIT CAR- wait, what? Linkara: He is rich and has funneled that money into his crime-fighting enterprises through shell companies and false identities. Critic: I-I don't get what you're- Linkara: And being someone who prepares for multiple eventualities, as demonstrated in both comics and TV, wherein he's actually utilized his money to solve a situation or bought something that he wouldn't normally carry with him, which would include, say, diapers for a rescued baby or coffee to keep himself awake, plus his tendency to accessorize his crime-fighting tools to fit his motif, from something understandable like a fearsome vehicle to something silly like his projectiles resembling a bat, and the aforementioned usage of shell companies to acquire items, what exactly is so ridiculous and anger-inducing... about a BAT. CREDIT. CARD?! Critic: (glances around nervously, unable to come up with a rebuttal) Linkara: Critic? Critic: Yeah? Linkara: Get in the corner. Critic: Okay. (gets out of his chair and walks off) BTW, I copied and pasted it from TV Tropes, 'cause I was too lazy to re-watch Linkara's review of the Batman and Robin comic adaptation.

Yeah, except with way to much Ice Puns

i dunno. Mr Freeze in batman TAS had just as many ice puns. they were just better ice puns.

She also seems to be doing a Harley Quinn in this movie. She looks nerdy, is nerdy, some psycho gets ahold of her and and ends her life, in this case literally, not metaphorically, and then she rises up as a hottie

I do have issues with her hair though.

***** It was a glorified toy commercial with a weak but present theme of family and loss. The film was developed to market the iconography of Batman for the toy market (the costumes and over the top vehicles and Ivy's line about Action Figures). Though You could imagine B&R as a successor to Adam West as an over the top, campy and cheesy piece of entertainment.

***** I don't think that was the intention

+Joe Bob Batman & Robin was also MEANT to be campy and comedic and it succeeded, it's a great movie and simply a valid interpretation of Batman.

Fraser Souris Because Adam West and lego Batman were actually good. Duh.

People who point this out are still missing the point. Being a comedy doesn't magically make all of your movie's problems disappear. It takes talent to write a good comedy. Adam West Batman and Lego Batman were genuinely clever, well written comedies with a coherent tone and story even when they were over the top ridiculous. Batman and Robin is just a fucking mess, albeit an entertaining one. It's ok to enjoy a bad film. But you shouldn't pretend it's not bad.

Same here man this one is just too much fun.

+prtzomi Even the actors hates this movie

I could give a shit

Yeah I’m a huge fan of Arnold he’s literally my hero 😁 and Ive always watched jingle all the way every single day around Christmas time. Sometimes on the weekends I request to watch Batman and robin again because my brother couldn’t finish it and also cause i wanted to watch it again.

They are the most powerful moments of all Batman movies, even the comics. :) ;)

Fool! His story began in the 16th century!

What I understood was that because this movie was in a way bad, it lead to a good which was Nolan's TDK trilogy. Not that Nolan's trilogy led to the superhero genre.

it's worth remembering that Nolan was originally in charge of setting up the DCEU and was going to oversee the entire thing until he bowed out and Snyder took over. it is the way it is in large part because of nolan and not just indirectly because of a desire to capitalize on TDK trilogy. hell, he originally brought snyder on BECAUSE snyder's tone in watchmen, sucker punch, etc was that similar dark, gritty tone to his own, just more stylized. both saw frank miller's work as massive inspirations.

+ZR Lego Dude 777 I didn't say they meant the same thing, tho

nah, that film is beyond garbage to even find good in. The redeeming part of batman and robin is that batman and robin didn't take itself seriously and was ridiculous from start to finish. DB evolution took itself seriously and was a train wreck with no redeeming parts from start to finish

Sorry but you actually think The Dark Knight Rises is possibly worse than Batman and Robin? Seriously? The Dark Knight Rises is flawed for sure. But it's not anywhere close to being as bad as Batman and Robin.

The opening scene of the plane hijacking (all accomplished with practical effects) is pretty much better than the entirety of Batman and Robin.

Solarstar10 To say Dark Knight Rises is "good" is fucking blasphemy. It not only tried to take itself too goddamn seriously and failed miserably but from the beginning of the movie to the very end it made Batman, the main hero, a complete bitch! Everything people hated about Christian Bale Batman was increased ten fold resulting in a film where he sounds like he's gonna die in a few months from lung cancer and is so incompetent he was easily outsmarted by even Catwoman. Watching this atrocity made me sick to my stomach, seeing how they went too far in "humanizing" him and ultimately making him next to worthless. I wasn't even watching Btaman, I was just watching another one of those fakers wearing hockey pads. Don't even reply, I refuse to listen to you or anyone else who "likes" that piece of shit. I hate that movie, end of story. Good day.....

+Terry Jones To say The Dark Knight Rises is worse than Batman & Robin is blasphemy.

The Dark Knight Rises is a brilliant movie and I will justify that statement with the following explanation: Firstly, you say about humanising him to the point where he was a "Complete Bitch". This version of Batman lost everything. His family, his chance for love, even the power he had to make the world a better place through Batman. He lost everything that drove his will to live. Him starting the film as weak and to some degrees incompetent makes sense because he's out of practice, tired, a broken man. You know what he's capable of but he's so defeated, you feel empathy, you feel how everything's been taken from him. Yet despite everything he's lost, when he sees that he needs to, he forces himself back into the game. Completely hated, tired, older and weaker he goes back out there, showing his slow return to strength. Then, he faces Bane and gets his ass kicked. Of course he does. Bane's a highly trained soldier at his peak, Batman is barely that yet, he's more Bruce Wayne trying to take up his old mantle. He's gone beyond the fear of death because he has nothing to live for but that's weakened him most of all. Batman's moral core is ultimately his parent's death: The ultimate fear of death if you will, yet all he wants is to die. But he knows he can't. Not yet. Catwoman later asks him to leave everything behind him, reminding him he's given the people of Gotham his life and soul and he responds: "Not everything, not yet". THAT IS BATMAN. Yes, Batman is awesome fighting moves, perfect dry wit and brilliant gadgets. He's fear, he's stealth, he's rage and stoic brooding darkness. But what if you take all that away? What makes him a compelling character; one of the true greats of fiction, when all that is peeled away? It is because Batman is the man WHO NEVER GIVES UP. Who will give everything and beyond to the people he cares about because he believes they deserve it. The Dark Knight Rises took Batman to his absolute lowest point and stripped him back to basics. It showed what the true moral heart of this character really is. A man who will never give up. That in itself, through everything he faces in this movie, is compelling and brilliantly realised. The Dark Knight Rises explores the idea of Batman broken arguably better than any other piece of Batman media ever has. He's lost everything and is thrown into what could be seen as this movie universe's version of hell. A dark, brutal prison. No hope. Torture in Bane's own words: "Not of your body, of your soul". Physically wrecked, emotionally devastated, spiritually broken yet he keeps going. He FIGHTS BACK. That is the mark of a TRUE HERO. Someone who will never give up. Not someone who always acts awesome but someone who can never truly be defeated and there is nothing "faker" about this version of Batman, because he shows Batman's fundamental characteristic at it's strongest. This entire idea is executed through one moment in the film, one sequence: The Third Pit Jump. THIS is the first moment, BATMAN is truly on-screen. Before, we've had the man earning the mantle or trying to be what he has lost. But this scene is the epitome of why Batman is a great character. Because faced with almost certain death, terrified, with everything to lose, he makes that jump, that leap of faith, that leap of FEAR & grabs onto life with both hands, freeing himself and reclaiming his mantle in this moment. No Batman movie which fundamentally explores the character's strength in such an emotionally resonant and powerful way can ever be "Shit". This may not be the strongest, most badass version of the character. But it is arguably the bravest and that is why this film succeeds. Because it is emotionally compelling. Besides that, there are many other things to like: Each action set piece is dynamic, unique and has something about that it contributes to the main story and/or character dynamics/growth. The opening action scene is tense, intriguing, brilliantly filmed and produced and an attention grabber. The bank robbery is story-progressing as well as character progressing, rich in atmosphere and laden in the pain of Batman's character. The first fight between Bane is a soul-crushing defeat of an icon, beaten down to his lowest point & the second fight between them is a brutal, powerful, fist pumping adrenaline ride where Batman finally takes victory and shows his will can truly overcome all. The movie has strong acting. Christian Bale excels as the lead, a broken destitute man who will rise again to become a legend. Tom Hardy may not be Heath Ledger but he puts a fantastic turn in as Bane, giving him a screen presence that rivals and exceeds every other character on-screen, making him a huge physical threat. Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Joseph Gordon Levitt & Gary Oldman take their roles and run with them, doing strong jobs each, Michael Caine in particular impresses. Anne Hathaway is a solid interpretation of Catwoman and Marion Cottilard is one of the weaker aspects of the film but does a reasonable job, besides her death acting which is unfortunately underwhelming. Hans Zimmer's soundtrack is beautiful, raw, laden with emotion, it moves you, making you feel the rise and falls of each character. It's a fantastic addition to his stellar career. The set design is memorable, each location feels distinctive and the prison is a work of cinematic art, it's a wonderful set which never fails to convince and fill with dread via it's mere presence and scale. The visual effects; brilliant, practical stunts with limited CGI hugely impress and the production values are strong all across the board. The Dark Knight Trilogy is not the Arkham series. It does not have the incredible strings of goon smash ups that does. It is not the Animated Series, so laden in pure atmosphere of the Batman Character, so committed to the bizarre and brilliantly creative tone. It's not the Justice League show, where he constantly owns gods and men, almost never faltering or failing. The Dark Knight Trilogy is the Batman of OUR WORLD. The one who makes mistakes, who can be beaten, bloodied, bruised and credibly pushed to the brink of death. But fundamentally, the Batman who will never give up and his will against everything he can facem is what makes this trilogy and this film compelling, brilliantly written and one of the best film trilogies in recent years. And if you disagree with that, I look forward to your response.

BATNIPPLES ARE ALLWAYS A WIN!!!
