I'd already heard all the "worst film ever" accolades. So having already enjoyed some films by ignoring the "stay away" accolade I was blessing my lucky stars that I jumped in and enjoyed this little play around number.
It may differ from the "real" Batman, but didn't the TV series do that ? The TV series has become a classic of stooge like humour. If you don't like that then you won't like this, but I don't think that justifies the "worst film ever" accolades.
There seems to be a peculiar mark off sophistication that the other Bat films bestow on themselves. Somehow being dark and twisted is the highest mark of adult maturity. I don't buy into that. I think that is lost, and ultimately (ironically?) immature and childish. But I can see that they are good films and a lot of people like them, so I'm not going to say "stay away". But just because Batman and Robin departs from that cannon does not mean it deserves a panning.
Arnie relishes his role like some pantomime villain. The sets go from theatrical environments to impressive set pieces. Everyone seems to be having a great time.
A line from the movie really explains what is going on ...
Batman: "Who are you?" Bat Girl: "Bat Girl!" Batman: "Not very PC. Shouldn't you be Bat Person or Bat Woman?"
This movie seems to be designed to annoy Batman fans so maybe I should give them a break, but if you liked the TV series then you'll love this.
