8.7/10. I grew up on Mr Schumacher's two Batman movies. I understand some people's dislike but I still loved both. I was coming of age and seeing someone like Uma Thurman playing Poison Ivy was nice. The story plays out like one of the comic books, everybody in there did pretty well. Yes the one time I can stand George Clooney. Some, like me, just enjoy this as a means of relaxation. It's way more entertaining than The Dark Knight Rises because it doesn't try doing any lectures about the economy and the class warfare. Rest well Mr Schumacher.
Rob245Utter garbage. I seriously considered designing the ratings system here to allow 0 stars purely so I could give this nothing, but decided this movie wasn't worth the extra effort! :-) I'm surprisingly tolerant of Batman Forever, but this followup is unrepentant swill.

Revealing mistake: When Robin is being pulled underwater by Ivy's plants he surfaces for air and gets pulled under again. It's obvious the film was just rewound. Then when he finaly gets free we see the shot that was rewound was the same shot used when he escapes. Really bad editing. (01:34:50 - 01:36:40)
Robin: I want a car! Chicks dig the car.
Batman: This is why Superman works alone.
Trivia: After filming "Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)," Arnold Schwarzenegger stated that he would never play a villain again, but he did for this film.
Question: Why the hell did they give Batman and Robin's suits nipples in this one?

Chosen answer: Purely a creative decision, but based on the tone of this question I don't suppose you're honestly after an answer so much as you are just looking for someplace to express your distaste.
PhixiusBecause Schumacher wanted to base the suits on Greek sculptures hence the nipples. Don't forget Robin's shorts or Batman wearing different colored cowls in the comics, perhaps this was a nod to that.
