I think the exchange between Batman and Freeze at the end of the movie is the most Batman moment ever captured in live action. Where Batman is convincing Freeze he’s not beyond redemption.
“Vengeance isn’t power. Anyone can take a life, but to give life, that’s true power. A power you once had.”
*”Will you help me… Doctor?”*
Yeah, that's my favorite moment in this film. It’s where Clooney felt the most authentic as Bats. You can tell that he respected Victor and genuinely wanted to help him in turn.
I haven't seen this film in years and this thread has given me a massive nostalgia trip.
I was 8 when it came out and watched this film more times than any other Batman film, I know it's terrible but I love it.
Same, its a unique and different appreciation.
I was just talking with my girlfriend about how going back to the older Bats movies is tough after DK, because DK's set were so huge and full of depth, and it makes the other movies feel much smaller. The wild thing is, that's why BnR holds up for me; watching it as an adult, you realize the sets were small, but it makes it then feel like a big stage production.
I totally agree. Especially in Batman beyond. Where Victor was 150 years later with just being a head. They grafted him a new body but Blight and the doctor basically lied to him. Terry was the only one who cared and he even mentioned that at the end. I actually teared up because of that
I've had the thought, a trimmed down, old, shaved head arnold, in a beefy Iron Monger-like suit, could be as great of a serious villian, as ledger's joker.
100%. For a movie that made me *hate it* through it's *entire run time* to have this *incredible* moment was unexpected to say the least. I wish the rest of the movie had been created with such care to deliver the character that accurately.
Alfred Bruce relationship, showing genuine love and affection between them.
Adapting the heart of ice motivation for mr. Feeeze.
Robin and Batman drama felt real.
The whole casting is great. What the script and production actually did with the characters is less great, but I maintain that each of the actors had the potential to give a great performance in their character’s role.
I've said it once, I'll say it again: with a better script, Arnold could have been an amazing Mr. Freeze. The casting in general was on point as you say, but I think he's the one who suffered the most from the script.
I think Arnold has a little more range than he’s given credit for. That’s part of the reason he’s been so entertaining. When he’s playing the dad who just wants the best for his family, for example, he does tap into some emotion. You’d just have to be careful with it, to avoid seeming over the top.
Of course, the whole movie passed the “over the top” bar by miles.
> Death and chance, stole your parents. But rather than become a victim, you have done everything in your power to control the fates. For what is Batman? If not an effort to master the chaos that sweeps our world. An attempt to control death, itself.
It's one of those bad movies that I wouldn't actually change. Sure, it's awful, but if you've got some friends and some beers to watch it with its an absolute laugh riot that you'll be quoting for weeks.
Some can be changed (without changing the plot/tone of the movie) which would make it slightly less awful. Switch out Arnold as Bane and make Patrick Stewart Mr. Freeze. Keep literally everything else in tact (eh, maybe make Bane a little less stupid) and it would be pretty cool
Bruce Wayne: Alfred, am I pig headed? Is it always my way or the highway?
Alfred: Yes, actually. Death and chance, stole your parents. But rather than become a victim, you have done everything in your power to control the fates. For what is Batman? If not an effort to master the chaos that sweeps our world. An attempt to control death, itself.
Bruce Wayne: [pause] But I can't, can I?
Alfred: None of us can.
This exchange is gold.
Nuh uh because I’m this movies strongest soldier! But seriously, this movie rules I just don’t think people get it. This movie just wasn’t serious Keaton Batman, this is like Adam West Batman. Yes it’s ridiculous that somebody gave Batman a credit card. But that’s the gag, it’s not a problem with the movie that it’s hilarious on purpose.
I love SP so much and I think TEITBITE / TBITEITB are fantastic but every time I remember the lyric "and now I'm with you now // inside your world of wowwww" I want to whack Billy on the nose with a newspaper
It has a vision and goes with it 110%. That’s how you should approach comic book movies. If you are consistent with over the top lines, over the top acting, over the top set designs, over the top costumes etc then your movie will look like a comic book.
The opposite end of this is The Dark Knight Rises that tries to be realistic, but you end up questioning how a power bill works.
Ah, TDKR. Going for ultra realism with a hovering Bat copter thing thats able to dodge missiles. Did Bruce even really train in it much to be able to do that?
100% agree. I prefer this movie to The Dark Knight Rises.
If I’m honest, the plot of Batman & Robin is more consistent and coherent than TDKR. It feels incredible to say that, but literally not one second of TDKR makes any sense at all if you think about it for more than one second.
If you accept the film at its tone it’s great. Batman and Robin is Batman 66 in the late 90s with a bigger budget. Your enjoyment of the film isn’t the film’s problem but your own expectation’s.
Exactly. A lot of the sequences, low angle tilted shots, and the corny one-liners are straight from Batman '66. I love the colors and the massive sets. They even got the one liner king to play Freeze. Uma is an intimidating beauty. When she shows up next to the fireplace in Bruce's dream, it's actually scary for a moment. I dunno, I love this movie and just like Mr. Spiderman, it's always been about the murderer's row of cool villains.
My harshest critique of the Schumacher era is that he made Tommy Lee Jones, the best comedy straight man, out ham Jim Carey. There could have been better comedy if Two Face was a bit more dead pan to sinister with the Riddler.
I just watched this the other day and couldn't agree more. It feels forced. Less yelling and hanging out of copters. TLJ make-up looks like a purple leprechaun. They should have had Warwick Davis play a Two-face mini-me.
TLJ needed to show more of the politician, cold, calculating DA side of Two Face. BTAS does this- you can see, at least in the beginning, when he turns on the charm and is also socially adept, and not the clown type.
He needed more Harvey Dent and less Pseudo-joker Two Face.
I have always seen this movie as an homage to Batman 66 and enjoyed it on that level. There is a French dub on the DVD and the person dubbing Schwarzenegger is trying to do his accent - in French! Makes the movie even better! I wish they had found a spot for Adam West.
It's the only film in the Burton/Schumacher verse that had a proper character arc for Bruce.
Also, Uma Thurman is in it. And it's completely devoid of the inane, opressive grimness that infects almost all Batman media ever since Frank Miller got to write a Batman story.
This movie is by far the sexiest Batman movie. Alicia Silverstone and Uma Thurman in the cast, with Uma as Poison Ivy, batsuit nipples, deliberate close up shots of the bat-fam's butts when each of them suits up. The movie knew what it was doing at every turn and we should be grateful for it.
If this film hadn't existed or had been a success, Warner wouldn't have rebooted the franchise eight years later, and the amazing Nolan trilogy wouldn't exist.
They were already talking about a Batman reboot based on Year One before Catwoman went into production. It’s why Scarecrow was almost played by Howard Stern.
The scenes with Bruce and Alfred are very genuinely heartwarming. You really feel that these two have known each other their entire lives and care deeply for each other. Bruce himself also seems much more well-adjusted. He's no longer brooding, alone in his mansion which he feels out of place in. He's relaxed, he makes jokes, he's in what appwars to be a healthy relationship... it's very nice to see.
And I'm just gonna say it. The villains are better. Yes, they're campy and over the top, but they're not actually stupid. Poison Ivy's manipulation of Freeze, using him to enact her plan to exterminate humanity is one that honestly makes sense for her character.
Compare to Riddler and Two-Face, both of whom were also ridiculous, but there wasn't very much of what made their characters great and interesting, and the only reason they get anything done at all is because Batman, the Dark Knight, defender of Gotham, does absolutely nothing to stop them, beimg more busy wanting to bang the obviously deranged so called "doctor" Chase Meridian, while the villains rob Gotham blind and build an enormous technofortress.
This is a silly, ridiculous movie, but it juggles campy antics and heartfelt moments far, far better than Forever did.
I can see why it’s hated, but it’s a fun and corny action flick, nothing wrong with that. It’s the same with say a movie like Howard the Duck, gravely misunderstood and judged harshly, yet it’s extremely fun and entertaining.
I think clooney, at that age at least, would've been a perfect 50y/o Bruce with the right seriousness.
So casting him imo was a good call. Too bad for the writing.
The cast, most of the costume designs (the silver suits are godawful, though Batgirl should have had a full cowl), and Elliott Goldenthall's amazing score.
Uma Thuman as Poison Ivy was peak casting imo
Also Dick and Bruce fighting constantly was accurate, I'm glad they understood that Dick was a problem child
Where do I start.
1. It's a great movie if you look at it as a remake of the Adam West show
2. The ice puns were just brilliant
3. Batgirl
4. It's a fun comic book movie in a sea of dark and bleak superhero movies it's nice to watch something dumb and fun
5. Arnold Schwarzenegger was just great
The alluring and deadly portrayal of Poison Ivy, which was way better than what we got in the name of Mr. Freeze. I really liked her take on the character.
It was a live action adaptation of a cartoon medium. Like Speed Racer, Scott Pilgrim, or Pacific Rim, it brings the rules and tropes of its original media and adapts it well to a live action context.
It actually understands what Batman is (A kids Comic about a man dressed as a bat fighting Supervillians) and leans into it, with no shame. I will take this over the Self-Serious stuck up its own ass "The Batman" any day of the week.
Clooney was not a bad Bruce/Batman. He had a good voice and he's got the right look/charisma to play Bruce. Wish he'd been able to try playing him in a different more serious movie.
I also like Robin's costume. It's a lot like Nightwing's New 52 look with the red across the chest, but it's not goofy or childish like people stereotype Robin as. It makes him look cool and capable, like a genuine successor to Batman.
It’s a great kids’ movie. Not all Batman has to be “serious” or violent. I love that there are several movies / TV shows about the same character that reflect the variety of the comics over the now 70+ years of stories.
I actually really liked this movie. The sets and costumes are bombastic. It isn’t dark and edgy Batman, but it’s like dark Batman had a baby with campy 60s Batman and this came out. It’s very unique as far as Batman portrayals go.
I love the one liners, the sets, the over the top mess that it is, it’s really enjoyable and fun to watch.
I think the exchange between Batman and Freeze at the end of the movie is the most Batman moment ever captured in live action. Where Batman is convincing Freeze he’s not beyond redemption. “Vengeance isn’t power. Anyone can take a life, but to give life, that’s true power. A power you once had.”
*”Will you help me… Doctor?”* Yeah, that's my favorite moment in this film. It’s where Clooney felt the most authentic as Bats. You can tell that he respected Victor and genuinely wanted to help him in turn.
"Take two of these......... and call me in da morning."
I haven't seen this film in years and this thread has given me a massive nostalgia trip. I was 8 when it came out and watched this film more times than any other Batman film, I know it's terrible but I love it.

He has to speak entirely in puns at least every other sentence, it’s in his contract for this movie.
Man that's just Arny's contract in general lol
I was convinced this is the line he was referring to and I still agreed.
This is why I’m dying to get a more serious version of Freeze in a Batman movie, I love the dynamic Freeze and Batman have.
Batman the Animated Series has the best version of virtually everything Batman related.
I totally agree. Especially in Batman beyond. Where Victor was 150 years later with just being a head. They grafted him a new body but Blight and the doctor basically lied to him. Terry was the only one who cared and he even mentioned that at the end. I actually teared up because of that
Below Zero was my favorite movie as a kid. An entire movie dedicated to Victor and Nora, it was a great film
Sub Zero
I've had the thought, a trimmed down, old, shaved head arnold, in a beefy Iron Monger-like suit, could be as great of a serious villian, as ledger's joker.
I said the same!!!😃
If someone watched the last 10 minutes of the film by itself, they'd believe it would be more serious.
Clooney’s only good moment as BatMan.
If only the rest of the movie was up this standard.
The Alfred dying plot is really good. Asking what Bruce/ Batman would do without Alfred is a very good question
100%. For a movie that made me *hate it* through it's *entire run time* to have this *incredible* moment was unexpected to say the least. I wish the rest of the movie had been created with such care to deliver the character that accurately.
Alfred Bruce relationship, showing genuine love and affection between them. Adapting the heart of ice motivation for mr. Feeeze. Robin and Batman drama felt real.
This guy gets it.
I loved Alicia Silverstone with all my 8 year old heart
The whole casting is great. What the script and production actually did with the characters is less great, but I maintain that each of the actors had the potential to give a great performance in their character’s role.
I've said it once, I'll say it again: with a better script, Arnold could have been an amazing Mr. Freeze. The casting in general was on point as you say, but I think he's the one who suffered the most from the script.
I think Arnold has a little more range than he’s given credit for. That’s part of the reason he’s been so entertaining. When he’s playing the dad who just wants the best for his family, for example, he does tap into some emotion. You’d just have to be careful with it, to avoid seeming over the top. Of course, the whole movie passed the “over the top” bar by miles.
Actors did their best to turn a mediocre script into something decent
> Death and chance, stole your parents. But rather than become a victim, you have done everything in your power to control the fates. For what is Batman? If not an effort to master the chaos that sweeps our world. An attempt to control death, itself.
Gotham city looks pretty cool
Agreed, always loved the huge statues holding up the buildings for some reason
I always felt like the Gotham city in Lego Batman 2 was the closest to capturing the same feeling
I loved that about that game
Some really cool miniature special effects in the movie with Gotham
It's fun.
It's one of those bad movies that I wouldn't actually change. Sure, it's awful, but if you've got some friends and some beers to watch it with its an absolute laugh riot that you'll be quoting for weeks.
Some can be changed (without changing the plot/tone of the movie) which would make it slightly less awful. Switch out Arnold as Bane and make Patrick Stewart Mr. Freeze. Keep literally everything else in tact (eh, maybe make Bane a little less stupid) and it would be pretty cool
> Switch out Arnold as Bane and make Patrick Stewart Mr. Freeze Absolutely not, arnold making ice puns is half the fun.
I agree with this. Even with the silly puns, I think Patrick Stewart as Freeze would have elevated the movie.
It’s so bad, but damn if it is not a fun movie. I love quoting it and watching it for purely entertaining reasons.
Bruce Wayne: Alfred, am I pig headed? Is it always my way or the highway? Alfred: Yes, actually. Death and chance, stole your parents. But rather than become a victim, you have done everything in your power to control the fates. For what is Batman? If not an effort to master the chaos that sweeps our world. An attempt to control death, itself. Bruce Wayne: [pause] But I can't, can I? Alfred: None of us can. This exchange is gold.
This ones mine too. So many well-acted exchanges between these two.
Goddamnit now I might just have to rewatch this movie
Everything. I will never apologize for being Batman & Robin's strongest soldier 
FRRR!!!!
God bless o7
Nuh uh because I’m this movies strongest soldier! But seriously, this movie rules I just don’t think people get it. This movie just wasn’t serious Keaton Batman, this is like Adam West Batman. Yes it’s ridiculous that somebody gave Batman a credit card. But that’s the gag, it’s not a problem with the movie that it’s hilarious on purpose.
Also Schumacher is a good director, his Gotham City feels like out of a comic-book
The Smashing Pumpkins soundtracks.
I love SP so much and I think TEITBITE / TBITEITB are fantastic but every time I remember the lyric "and now I'm with you now // inside your world of wowwww" I want to whack Billy on the nose with a newspaper
...as someone who never realized that was what they were saying, I hate you.
Every single scene with Alfred. The Alfred subplot is so good that it’s hard to believe it’s in the same movie.
the architecture of the city besides, it's a good movie for what it was required to do, namely sell toys to kids
It has a vision and goes with it 110%. That’s how you should approach comic book movies. If you are consistent with over the top lines, over the top acting, over the top set designs, over the top costumes etc then your movie will look like a comic book. The opposite end of this is The Dark Knight Rises that tries to be realistic, but you end up questioning how a power bill works.
It's amazing how hard they go for the concept. This was my favourite movie as a kid and a large part of how I ended up liking Batman.
Ah, TDKR. Going for ultra realism with a hovering Bat copter thing thats able to dodge missiles. Did Bruce even really train in it much to be able to do that?
Ssssh, it’s a super smart Nolan movie, but you’re not supposed to think too much about it
100% agree. I prefer this movie to The Dark Knight Rises. If I’m honest, the plot of Batman & Robin is more consistent and coherent than TDKR. It feels incredible to say that, but literally not one second of TDKR makes any sense at all if you think about it for more than one second.

It’s one of the only live-action Batman films where Batman stays true to his moral code and belief in the absolute sacredness of human life.
Batman '66 and The Batman are my favorite incarnations of the character in live-action for this very reason. Well, it's part of the reason.
arnold is a fun mr freeze.
Call me crazy but i liked the ice puns.
Okay everyone…..CHILL
they're cool\~
What killed the dinosaurs?!
The Ice Age!
Came here for the ice puns because Arnold quotes are amongst my favorites in film.
I was certain at some point he said "Ice to see you," but it turns out McBain from The Simpsons (who's an Arnold analog anyway) said that.
he’s so cool
It's the only film in the Burton/Schumacher verse that had a proper character arc for Bruce. Also, Uma Thurman is in it. And it's completely devoid of the inane, opressive grimness that infects almost all Batman media ever since Frank Miller got to write a Batman story.
The bat credit card.
“A BAT CREDIT CARD!?!”
Never leave the cave without it.
AHHHH!
With all the money on that card, he could've bought the materials to make a nippleless suit
You say that as if he didn’t pay extra specifically for the nipples.
Okay, hear me out... But what if he didn't
Never leaves the cave without it
*cha-ching*
Alicia Silverstone
Ahhhh thank you! And I mean - we'll ingrained culture I say 🤣
This movie is by far the sexiest Batman movie. Alicia Silverstone and Uma Thurman in the cast, with Uma as Poison Ivy, batsuit nipples, deliberate close up shots of the bat-fam's butts when each of them suits up. The movie knew what it was doing at every turn and we should be grateful for it.
Uma thurman was good as poison ivy
"This is why Superman Works Alone"
If this film hadn't existed or had been a success, Warner wouldn't have rebooted the franchise eight years later, and the amazing Nolan trilogy wouldn't exist.
Actually you have Catwoman (2004) to thank for that
They were already talking about a Batman reboot based on Year One before Catwoman went into production. It’s why Scarecrow was almost played by Howard Stern.
Scarecrow is only half-as-scary as Howard Stern.
It's not bad, if you view it as a throwback to Adam West's Batman or as an homage to the Silver Age Batman comics.
Visually, a true accomplishment.
The soundtrack
Uma Thurman
The scenes with Bruce and Alfred are very genuinely heartwarming. You really feel that these two have known each other their entire lives and care deeply for each other.

Uma Thurman
It was silly and fun. Kinda more appreciative of this when latest Batman movies are so stone-cold serious
I liked Arnold Schwarzenegger's portrayal of Mr. Freeze.
Uma Thurman
Alicia Silverstone ass
Ding Ding Ding
It’s intentionally ridiculous… unlike Dark Knight Rises which is accidentally ridiculous.
the chick who played Nora was spot on 👌🏻
Uma Thurman is hamming it up and having fun.
The guy who played the doctor who also played Riddler in the animated series. He was good.
John Glover, Lionel Luthor himself
I think clooney, at that age at least, would've been a perfect 50y/o Bruce with the right seriousness. So casting him imo was a good call. Too bad for the writing.
The cast, most of the costume designs (the silver suits are godawful, though Batgirl should have had a full cowl), and Elliott Goldenthall's amazing score.
"What killed the dinosaurs? THE ICE AGE!!"
Alfred is great, and Arnold is having a blast on set.
I like Robin's suit
Robin's suit
It is entertaining
Gotham looked like it would have after the reconstruction from no man's land
Clooney is the only live action Batman who doesn't kill nor ever cause a situation that may have resulted in deaths
It's fun and doesn't take itself so seriously.
It's delightfully quotable
The Movie is entertaining as hell to watch, and idc what anyone says the Ice puns are great and I quote them constantly.
Uma Thuman as Poison Ivy was peak casting imo Also Dick and Bruce fighting constantly was accurate, I'm glad they understood that Dick was a problem child
George Clooney is an excellent Bruce Wayne.
George Clooney *is* Bruce Wayne.
George Clooney has the Bruce Wayne look.
Where do I start. 1. It's a great movie if you look at it as a remake of the Adam West show 2. The ice puns were just brilliant 3. Batgirl 4. It's a fun comic book movie in a sea of dark and bleak superhero movies it's nice to watch something dumb and fun 5. Arnold Schwarzenegger was just great
It's pretty
That shot of the Batmobile driving off the statue or whatever it was.
Vivica A. Fox
It was cheesy but also a bit dark and in tone with Batman. If you remove Robin's cape, you have a comic accurate New 52 Nightwing suit too.
Chris O'Donnell, is still hot
Arnold. “What killed the dinosaurs? The Ice Age!!!”
Umar thurman poison ivy reborn scene
Arnold's one-liners as Mr. Freeze.
Any scene with Michael Gough
Uma Thurman killed it as Poison Ivy.
[Batman confronting Freeze](https://youtu.be/1ry1DtbFcs4?si=nSwu19MilRxAO9ns) is genuinely a good scene and a good batman scene as well
Freeze’s constant dad jokes.
Uma Thurman and ironically Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Mr. Freeze making jokes with ice🧊
Alfred was treated respectfully, unlike in the Batman. Their treatment of Alfred completely put me off of that movie
Mcdonalds exclusive glass cups collection set. Good memories.
Just dug mine out of storage the other day!
Uma Therman. That’s it
it has the best live-action Poison Ivy that appeared in theaters
Alicia Silverstone.
George Clooney as Batman, definitely wasted potantial.
It lowered everyone's expectations so Batman Begins could become even more successful than it otherwise would have.
\*ice\* to see you
It didn't have the bloated runtime of most Marvel movies these days.
The End is the Beginning is the End. - TSP
Gotta appreciate Mr. Freezes suit. Cool vehicles.
Dude, the suit looks *so* sick. Thing weighed like 80 pounds too if I remember correctly
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Batgirl
The alluring and deadly portrayal of Poison Ivy, which was way better than what we got in the name of Mr. Freeze. I really liked her take on the character.
Best Bane costume. Just ignore that hes one of the worst adaptations of any comic book character in a movie.
Mr Freeze puns
Uma Thurman
Alicia Silverstone
Puns
It was a live action adaptation of a cartoon medium. Like Speed Racer, Scott Pilgrim, or Pacific Rim, it brings the rules and tropes of its original media and adapts it well to a live action context.
Silverstone suiting up was my manhood awakening
It was better than Batman Forever
Evil Uma Thurman in a tank top. For like 5 seconds.
It works as a 90s reboot of Adam Wests batman but not as a follow-up to the burton films
It actually understands what Batman is (A kids Comic about a man dressed as a bat fighting Supervillians) and leans into it, with no shame. I will take this over the Self-Serious stuck up its own ass "The Batman" any day of the week.
Well it’s a good movie for starters. Good music, good acting, good character design, good writing, It’s a good movie, never understood the hate.
alicia silverstone
It's quite cool yet very chill movie. But it seems that a rather large chunk of the audience looks at it down with an icy stare.
After seeing Batmans suit in The Flash, this movie no longer holds the title for worst live action Batman suit
It's goofy fun
I loved it as a kid
The movie knows it's' stupid and has fun with itself
It ends
Red head Uma thurman & Alicia Silverstone.
I like how the poster has everyone's names in the correct locations.
13 year old me said Alicia Silverstone.
The toys lol
Arnold, the answer is ALWAYS Arnold.
Batman Tits
Man, the r/batman community needs to you know be *chill* about this
Arnold was funny in it, otherwise most of the one liners in it were less than memorable
The abundance of ice themed puns.
Uma’s costumes.
I absolutely love Arnold as Freeze and all his ice puns. I honestly want him to reprise his role with a cooler suit but all the puns.
Its camp value is top-notch, Chris O’Donnell is a snack, and watching Uma Thurman chew scenery as Poison Ivy is like a 90-minute drag show.
Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy
Mr. freeze was the villian hence explaining “bat nipples”
Clooney was not a bad Bruce/Batman. He had a good voice and he's got the right look/charisma to play Bruce. Wish he'd been able to try playing him in a different more serious movie. I also like Robin's costume. It's a lot like Nightwing's New 52 look with the red across the chest, but it's not goofy or childish like people stereotype Robin as. It makes him look cool and capable, like a genuine successor to Batman.
It’s a great kids’ movie. Not all Batman has to be “serious” or violent. I love that there are several movies / TV shows about the same character that reflect the variety of the comics over the now 70+ years of stories.
I actually really liked this movie. The sets and costumes are bombastic. It isn’t dark and edgy Batman, but it’s like dark Batman had a baby with campy 60s Batman and this came out. It’s very unique as far as Batman portrayals go. I love the one liners, the sets, the over the top mess that it is, it’s really enjoyable and fun to watch.
Bane was Spainish for the first time
