Batman and Robin (1997) is, in my opinion, one of the best superhero movies ever made. Many Batman fans put this instalment at the bottom of their list of Batman movies, but they are just Bat-dumb! For people who grew up watching the 1960's Batman live-action television series, this film is a kindred spirit. It is done right! The movie starts, you get Batman and Robin right away. They crack a couple of jokes, Commissioner Gordon calls and they're off to battle a villain. It all gets right to the point! Good stuff! Super Hero movies should be fun and for some reason that almost always gets lost in favor of backstory and endless scenes of the hero as their alter-ego. Lame! While Batman and Robin might be a silly movie, it moves quick and is filled with action and humor.I'm not much of a George Clooney fan, but he makes a good Batman. And Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl...this is one of the only other movies that she made after Clueless that is watchable. And in case you're wondering - Yes, my son Elias LOVED this movie!
One point on which you and I will always diverge, my friend.
