George Clooney is Batman in Joel Schumacher's camp follow up to 1995's Batman Forever. He teams with Robin (Chris O'Donnell) and Batgirl (Alicia Silverstone) as they battle Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman) for the safety of a neon-soaked Gotham City.
Unfortunately, the operative word is bland, as the newcomers don't add much to the formula, leaving it to their nemeses to enliven the proceedings. Narrative drive and humor are also in short supply, which creates a serious sagsag in the middle when the novelty of the fresh components has mostly worn off.

Batman & Robin, like the first three films in the series, is wonderful to look at, and has nothing authentic at its core.

Lacking most kinds of inspiration and geared to undemanding minds, this project is so overloaded with hardware and stunts, it's a relief to have it over.
