Batman & Robin

Another example of DC not knowing when to bring an ailing franchise to a close, 1997’s Batman & Robin was absolutely terrible – and it shouldn’t have happened to begin with, given how bad Batman Forever was before it.

Again, the people behind the movie got the casting all wrong. George Clooney was an awful choice to play Batman – but this time the villains did nothing to help him either.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Mr. Freeze was a cheesy mess, Robert “Jeep” Swanson’s Bane was a horrible mindless depiction of the character and Uma Thurman’s Poison Ivy was only passable, but it was the fact that the movie was so bright and very “un-Batman-esque” in terms of its tone that really ruined it.
