| Summary: Completely colorful, fantastic, unreal. | |
| Joel Schumacher gives us an explosion of color, with a Batman cartoon thrown in for good measure. Although the movie is all live actors, it has the feel of a cartoon, as actors perform impossible leaps and flips, smacking the hell out of the bad guys. Uma Thurman and Arnold Schwarznegger give great performances as Ivy and Ice, while George Clooney gives the best Batman performance yet. Clooney deserves better, however, as much of this film was merely an example of how to overspend a budget in order to produce flashier and more exorbant sets. But don't get me wrong; it's still quite an enjoyable romp. | |

| Summary: Seeing only 30 seconds of this movie was enough for me | |
| I only saw about 30 seconds of this movie on cable, but that was enough-- I wanted to claw my eyes out, but fortunately I was able to reach the remote, and changed the channel instead. | |

| Summary: An absolute abomination of a film | |
| This movie made my soul weep. Closer to Batman: The Merchandising than any kind of quality film. Joel Schumacher should burn for putting a great franchise on hold and delaying many, many other great projects based on comics with the utter and complete failure of this film. There is little in compelling story, nothing that suspends the audiences disbelief, and acting performances that actually made me fear for some careers (some of which actually haven't fully recovered since). The garishly colored sets with public friendly Batman carrying the bat-plastic and driving bat-icemobiles just isn't believable. The only thing keeping this from an F is seeing Arnold Schwartzenegger's "acting" debut. Too bad it didn't really work out, big guy. | |

| Summary: C'mon! :( | |
| Built-in ice skates. Bad choice for Batgirl. And Uma sounding like she was reading off a card. Gimmie a break. | |

| Summary: Here's the thing | |
| You know when having Robin in your movie is a good idea? When it's 1966 and you're Adam West. | |
