An absolute cinematic disaster.

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.

If Batman & Robin was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Watched Batman & Robin so you don't have to. You're welcome.

The science in Batman & Robin has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

Batman & Robin is what happens when a writers' room confuses "ambiguous" with "didn't finish the draft".

Unpopular opinion: Batman & Robin is the most overrated film of the decade

Honestly, Batman & Robin would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Batman & Robin?

Everyone praising the Batman & Robin performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Hot Take: Batman & Robin's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Just got out of Batman & Robin and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

The cinematography in Batman & Robin is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Look, I wanted to love Batman & Robin. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
