  2. Alfred, passive agressive as ever.

  3. Commissioner Gordon has started wearing a uniform... But the fact he calls this foe a 'new villain' doesn't display confidence.

  4. Introducing, the other Twin, as Mr Freeze.

  5. I was so full of hope for this film. "Clooney was amazing in From Dusk til Dawn" I told myself.

  6. It's akin to the american football scene in 'Flash Gordon'...only not as good.

  7. So bearing in mind that they didn't know about Mr Freeze until they left the cave, you have to assume that the ice skate shoes they're both wearing are part of their everyday wear.

  8. You can't say that they they didn't at least set the tone for the rest of the film

  9. Luckily they've managed to cover a much wider area with shrapnel.

  13. Batman and Robin: special guests. This vigilante days are well gone.

  14. "I hate when people talk during the movie!"

    Yeah, the dialogue is awful.

  15. Ironic that around the time Arnie was filming scenes about how much he was in love with his (on screen) wife, he was actually boffing his house-keeper

    ReplyDelete
  16. So much of this looks like theatre stage sets rather than movie.

  17. This is a trap dreampt up by Chief O'Hara

  18. God awful gag after God awful gag

  19. Every movie the statues get bigger.

  20. Still got some of that neon paint left over, I see.

  21. Not sure that bloke's understood the defining characteristic of a tricycle.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I was determined to find something positive to say about this film...I do quite like that song by Moloko before the bike race

    ReplyDelete
  23. Are they padding with the night race? Surely could have built in a set-piece with, like, Batman involved..?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Clooney needs to work on not smiling during bad-news scenes.

    ReplyDelete
  25. For me, the ice sculpting Arkham scene is the film’s highlight. 100% pure blue Arnie.

    ReplyDelete
  26. All of Thurman's dialogue looks like it's been re-dubbed.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Bane Winton’s Supermarket Sweep!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Ivy’s arbitrary approach to partners seems to be based on the screenwriters’ approach to the script.

    ReplyDelete
  29. The Snowey Icecreams set is a very West-era set. I like that.

  30. His grief has driven him into pun overdrive.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Elle Macpherson is a largely pointless and probably very expensive casting in this.

    ReplyDelete
  32. With 2+ supervillains on the loose it's impressive they've mustered such an incredible lack of tension.

    ReplyDelete
  33. The puns have stopped making any sense. They've officially run out!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Bat Girl – created from the anticipation of one man.

    1. I find it a little concerning that her uncle managed to get her sizing exactly right. Everywhere.

  35. I feel like my soul is being eroded

    ReplyDelete
  36. Considering the amount of fuss he's made over equal partnership throughout this entire movie, Robin's taking it very well that a newbee has turned up and taken 'Bat' in her name.

    ReplyDelete
  37. There’s no homicidal maniac that Batman won’t use for his own personal gain...

    ReplyDelete
  38. Promise me I never have to watch that again.

  39. Unbelievable that B&R killed the franchise for 8 years.
