Batman and Robin's biggest sin is probably the fact that it killed the franchise at that time. Here we are, all these years later, though, and Batman is doing just fine on film, so no harm, no foul at the end of the day. It's definitely not my favorite, and not one I revisit often, but I don't mind it. It's harmless overall, and I've always just looked at it as being a modern interpretation of the Adam West show. I will say, though, if killing the franchise is it's biggest sin, the second biggest has to be how they didn't take full advantage of the brilliance of Paul Dini's interpretation of Mr. Freeze in Batman The Animated Series. It's a real shame they just turned him in a joke and didn't take him more seriously. All the groundwork was there to build off of to deliver a dangerous, even scary character, but also one with emotional depth. It's there a little bit, obviously, but buried underneath all the puns and more silly aspects. Such a missed opportunity.

For sure, it’s definitely not shifting from almost bottom place. But I’m glad I gave it a chance and hopefully I’ll watch it again in the future. As you say, it is perfectly harmless, yeah it’s silly, dumb jokes ect but I’d say a popcorn movie, maybe? Mr Freeze from BTAS was perfect. They didn’t need to make him the way he did. But it’s Arnie so I guess they let him do what he wanted. If I was paid $25 million for 6 weeks work, I’d be acting like that as well 🤣 Thanks for your comment and input. Always welcome to see 👍

Interesting that you enjoyed the movie more in 2024. I have avoided it since it came out because of the terrible reviews, but I think I will have to watch it and decide for myself. I do also quite like the look of Alicia Silverstone, so it might be worth it just to see some silly closeups of her bum. I guess as a Schwarzenegger fan I should probably see his performance of Mr Freeze just to give me a balanced perspective... Thanks for the video dude!

What a hunk of junk. However, I have an idea. If you're familiar with the Batman The Animated Series episode, "Jokers Wild," maybe you could customize it to look like a slot machine from that episode. I can't remember if they had any unique features, but I think they might have. Probably had Joker's face on the spinning bits, maybe a Joker head on the top of it. Could make for an interesting build.

It was my fault. I should have checked before basing everything off the vehicle. I managed to get it done but at the beginning, the scale was way out 🤣 Never mind, lesson learnt.

Good to see you back. If there's one place where I feel Hot Toys has always been kind of lacking, it's the capes on their figures. Occasionally you get a decent one, but for the most part I'm usually a bit disappointed in them. Never been a big fan of wired capes, and always wish they'd make ones that just drape nicely.
@MattandTheRetroRoomАй бұрын
I think you’re right. Out of the Hot Toys I have (which is 4) Batman Begins and Sonar suit have very nice capes (Sonar suit is the best for me). However, Robin and The Batman, not so much. They both feel cheap. I’m wondering if they choose those designs for screen accurate look. Despite the cape, I’m still happy with the figure 😀

Great review dude, a very good look at this figure and the accessories. The figure looks really nice and I thought the little diorama with the lights was pretty cool. Is the bat symbol on his chest removable? It would make sense if it comes out because of the batarang accessories. I think the wing suit is a bit unnecessary, as I can't see anybody wanting to display the figure like that. I think perhaps this accessory could've been left out to offer a slightly lower price point perhaps. Overall a very impressive figure and will look awesome in your new display setup! Thanks for the video dude; great to have you back with some more content! 👍👍

I always promote good working practices during my builds and if I’m not using something to protect my health and wellbeing, then I usually point it out in the video and call myself an idiot. Where spray painting/lacer is being used, I always use a mask and make sure the area is well ventilated. I probably should use a mask when sanding down the paper clay products, and that’s my own fault. But as I say, I will always promote safe practices 👍
