Batman and Robin

Who:  Amber
What:  Batman and Robin
Where:  @ home - recorded it off cable
Why:  Batman is all the hype this summer

Man, this movie is CHEESY

With all the hype over the new Batman (George Clooney) movie, I figured it would cool to go back and watch all the old Batman movies.  I was never a big fan of the old movies.  I really wanted to see the one with Two Face, to see how he compared to the new, super gross Two Face.  But all I could find on cable was Batman and Robin.  Seriously, what is the deal with Robin?  He seems so lame.

Ar-nuld as Mr. Freeze is the cheesiest of them all.  "The ice man cometh!"  "Let's kick some ice!"  I guess his character is kind-of cool.  He falls in a vat of liquid nitrogen (or something).  He survives, but can only live when he body temp. is 0F.  He wears a sweet suit powered by diamonds of all things, and had an ice gun.  The bummer about his ice gun, is that while it freezes people, then can be unfrozen and still live.  So basically it's a giant stun gun.

Poison Ivy - what's her deal?  She kisses people and they die.  I guess she's some eye candy, but her character basically has no purpose in this movie.

Speaking of eye candy, we're introduced to Bat Girl (Alicia Silverstone).  She comes out of nowhere, and wears a suit with plastic pointy boobs.

There's a nice little side story of Albert (Batman's butler) being sick.  The only person who save him is Mr. Freeze - the old, normal scientist Mr. Freeze.  Will he turn from bad into good and help save Albert?!?  As Jonathan says, "yes he will ... and Albert will turn into a younger British man."
