Batman & Robin - Hilariocity Review 

After seeing it, he was probably desperate to go back.

Just out of curiosity, what was your friend in for?

*i got out of prison...and you took me to this movie...Dude, i thought we were friends*

Was watching the movie his community services

@@idkyou8188 His execution

His portraiture of batman was horrible what u talking bout?!

@@Dram305 he was only following the direction of Schumaker. If given better direction, I'm sure his performance wouldn't be nearly as hated as it is now. Edit: plus his performance is not the only bad component of the movie. Many bad decisions were made that Clooney had nothing to do with. He was just doing his job as an actor.

The head bobbing is all Clooney. Can't see Schumacher as the cause for that.

@@Raja1938 the only problem with batman in this movie isnt just the head Bobbing though it's also the bad dialogue and direction

@@callumdalton9560 Totally agree. I wasn't a fan of Tim Burton picking Keaton for the role and wished he'd picked someone like Clooney, who actually looks like Bruce Wayne. But Clooney's own performance, even taking into account the bad writing & direction, was a major letdown.

It's a shame he's mostly known for Batman and Robin, he's a decent director and seems like a nice guy

Yeah, I agreed with your opinion. Hope Chris will talk about him in the nearest future.

@@molin2910 yeah, and I really gotta give him credit, he had the balls to actually apologize for making the movie, name another director that actually apologized for making a movie

@@sevenapollo6882 the guy who created Dragon Ball Evolution apologized

Falling Down, Lost Boys and 8mm are awesome!

True

Well, considering how many movies that disappointed and could have been been better in another director's hands. Thats not a great plus LOL

Joel was actually a fan of Batman too bad it’s Adam West’s version and the Detective comics.

Yes we would.

@@brettmastema7056 Well, in this movie you have to blame WB(for a change, and yeah, I'm being sarcastic). Yet, Schumacher isn't entirely innocent. He was a very talented director who should have said no when the condition him to make a more "family friendly" Batman. Since he apologized for this movie, you can almost forget that and point fingers at the a-holes of WB, which is oddly extremely satisfying

lol

hahahahaha good one

Oh yes. *turns switch*

ha family guy

Dreadjaws Clooney turns me on

I needed this

Hi freeze I'm Batman like Welcome to my neighborhood I'm Mr. Rogers.

I thought of this: "Daaaavid Leeetterman." "Hi David, I'm Grandpa."

Asdf Movie reference

@invader slider Why? Why? Why?

+Bane Knightfall lol nostalgia critic

+MrFlipperInvader782 It's fucking dumb. How could you possibly have a credit card without assigning an address to it to receive its bills? That's like saying his Shark Repellant wasn't dumb. (Pretty sure that was from the Adam West tv show, but still.)

+BabaYaga RAPE MY CHILDHOOD!!! YOU CANT DO THIS, YOU WILL ALL DIE!!

Sigh. Pills. always come in handy when Joel Shumacher is involved

+MrFlipperInvader782 Fine, how about WHY WOULD BATMAN HAVE TO BUY ANYTHING? If Batman actually needed something that he would need to purchase, he would do it as Bruce Wayne. That's why it's dumb. Batman and Bruce Wayne are drastically different characters, despite being the same person.

Dude, that was just....cold

beeresident Hey, I was just trying to break the ice.

And yes, ice see what you did there.

Guys, those were some nICE puns!

You just need to cool down.

Meant to sell toys to kids

@@SimonWoodburyForget yes, however, it is usually not as blatant as it was in this film.

@@SimonWoodburyForget its not bad enough to be laughable, but not good enough to enjoy it. It's in the weird middle zone where it just infuriates and annoys.

@@amplifiedbible07 Of course they are. Nothing wrong with it. Just make a good flick.

I never did. I had fun as a kid. Even had a poster. It’s just so amazingly cheesy. Unlike the third spiderman film, which really wanted to take itself seriously.

Lmao

+garner montgomery Chris and John spit-roasting George Clooney in the rubber nipple suit.

+ＳｔａｙｎｉｆｔｙSound like a title of a video in Pornhub.

It's a better quote than anything in the movie.

Like a different person.

He would probably defend Batman and Robin now

Yeah i doubt he’ll ever make a hilariocity now knowing he’s in the industry now, I don’t blame him but that probably means he won’t ever be honest and likely wont make vids with theflickpick

He'd defend Fant4stic now

That's ridiculous ​@@JediKnightoftheTifaCult

Dean winchester said it better than this movie

even The Riddler said it better at the end of Batman Forever

Youre the only other person ive seen who also uses this pfp 😆

Brother.

But the movie actually failed

true

this movie more corny then adam west TV series

This is newer versions of that.

Yep, lamest excuse to pardon this movie's existence ever. Nope, I'm not buying it.

Jakob Thonen it’s better than the movie

So have I.

The combination of Chris and John is unrivalled for movie reviews.

Why didn't that happen ? I want to make that movie.

Damn Nicolas Cage as Scarecrow?! We may have gotten Batman Begins but we missed out on greatness

I knew there was going to be a sequel, but Cage as Scarecrow? That would have been unbelievably brilliant!

ericexplosion25 More like we missed out on another hilariocity.

Here's more... Madonna was eyed for Haley Quinn (who was Joker's daughter this time around), Man-Bat and The Mad Hatter were potential villians with Ewan McGregor eyed for Man-Bat. Jack Nicholson would have returned for a dream sequence. This may have been amazing.

Aprilhippie i loved that as a kid

The whole video killing me.

A BAT CREDIT CARD?!

(insert Nostalgia Critic gif here.)

Even Adam West didnt get that stupid and campy.

@@CaptainSpalding72 At least the campiness in Adam West's Batman had a purpose.

@P. A. WITH ENDLESS OPTIONS FOR RENEWAL!

He’d defend this movie nowadays

Like with Stan Lee.. Steve Ditko created the costume, etc.. But his name is not rung as much..

Damn talk about taking the credit

I thought the Joker was created by Jerry Robinson ?

+Ricardo Cantoral no Bill Finger all the way.

+Ricardo Cantoral Jerry did the first concept sketch. Bill did the rest.

Chris Nolan: TIM BURTON I WILL AVENGE YOU

+Ethan Joe Nolan's Batman is head-and-shoulders above Burton's.

ZuluChick Because of time periods.... nobody knew back then batman would be SOOO huge... they knew it would be big but NOT THAT big... they had NO idea! Also becsuse technology wasnt on there side at that time... burton made an entire damn city and a batmobile for this movie off of shit car scrap and jet stuff. So there is a huge justification for burton not being on par with nolan

cray nelson oh

I love this "WHERE ARE THEEEEYYY????"

I thought the astroids killed them

Ice Age told me that they lived underground

+Lucas Tabuena The Ice Age finished them off.

+MrPinbert no just no.they all died a few million years before the ice age

Oh, so that's where that quote came from. I've never seen this movie, but I know that quote from TRG.

Are you sure?

For real

Good..wonder how many Bill Fingers got to see?

"No your not,now where's Rachel?!"

Batman Knightfan affleck; “WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?”

"And I thought my jokes were bad..."

Hey where is your Instagram page?

Holy shit.

@@mquiroz90 totally

I never thought of that!

His one liners are cringy, but in a funny way!

@@HappyBeezerStudios And they come off better when said by Arnold, who is the master of cringy-funny one-liners!

Call me crazy, but I actually don’t hate Arnold as Mr. Freeze. I mean, he wasn’t the right casting choice at all (Anthony Hopkins, Patrick Stewart, and Ed Harris were originally considered), but he clearly put effort into his performance. He tries to make his one liners sound convincing and there’s a lot of energy to him, so he’s clearly having fun being this over the top bad guy. He’s also the only actor who didn’t hate being in this movie. He’s capable of showing emotion when he needs to, like for instance, the scenes with his wife. He manages to be convincing as a mourning husband who misses the woman he loves, will do anything to be reunited with her, and is devastated when he thinks she is dead. And keep in mind, some of this is while he’s wearing the stupid polar bear robe & slippers. Sadly his sympathetic qualities are dampened by the fact that he casually makes hilariously bad ice puns while he tries to straight up murder people and take over the world and Arnold Schwarzenegger, despite how educated he is, will never be convincing as a scientist (Junior, yuck, though once again he tries), so yeah, it’s definitely not a good adaptation of the character, but that’s not Arnold’s fault. Arnold gave him more complexity than this version deserved.

Yeah... that's a hilariocity.

Lol love the puns

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Freeze actually doesn't say that in this movie

@@ShadowSonic2 This movie has a "Luke, I am your father" moment oh my gahhhhd

Princess Rainbovvs X Musashi It’s “No, I am your father.”

@@MediaLoverChris02 That's what she meant. Folks keep thinking he said "Luke, I am your father" when he really said "No, I am your father". It's the same with the folks who think Freeze said "Ice to see you" here when he never did.

Schlock Jocks Ah, I get it.

that scene was different he took it of from the trailer not from the movis

I still laugh. 20+ years later.

George Clooney But the actual live version still sounded pretty bland.

HA ! Better than Bale and Affleck! At least George Clooney had audacity to go to the bathroom before he said his line.

@@Iconhulk no

nigeldaman if Bale was in this movie, he would not even use that line. Christian Bale is the best Batman in my opinion

"The heat is on."

And Chris' editing choice ("and I thought my jokes were bad") is spot on too :D

Gothic Productions Bale sucks and his voice is terrible

nigeldaman I always imagine Batman and Freeze casually meeting at the mall when I hear that line 😂😂😂

Now that's is what I call cool, icy, and how should I say this....uh....hmm....nICE.

That joke was terrible. It needs to be put........ON ICE!!

sorry about the frosty reception you’ve been receiving, everyone needs to chill, stay cool with icy comments.... DiD yOu GeT iT?

It's a joke guys chill out

CRINGE!!

can we be friends?

hah, nice bait

Oh please fantastic 4 "2015" is a classic mmmmkay??

you are a smart human being

Ummmmmmmmm.... Your list is flawed. It's missing Howard the Duck

😂

It’s never fully confirmed that the dinosaurs were killed by asteroids but it is one of their many theories of how dinosaurs have died out

@@myopia9032 there are dinosaur bones below the iridium layer. There are none above it. Asteroid impact.

I thought Jesus nuked the dinos

ᕼᑌᗰᗩᑎ ᖴᗴᒪᒪᗩ true lol

Wild Gringo yes the bees

yes please

Yes. That's great!

seriously I can't breathe from that

Hariz 4588 Same. I just died.

The best phoned in performance ever. :P

I normally don't swear but when he said that I just exclaimed: What the fuck?!

Hariz 4588 best acting of the year,no,of the decade,no,of the century,no,of all time

serves the fraud right

uh bad time?

+Adrián Díaz He was dead by 1974, so he likely only saw the Adam West Batman movie before he died. Poor bastard.

+C Delany Bill Finger was the true creator of Batman. He came up with everything that makes Batman great. All Bob Kane did was come up with the name. Oh and scam Bill Finger. Bob Kane got what he deserved.

+C Delany Bob Kane was a fraud and a douche, so he deserved it.

🤣 perfect!!

Arnold: I won't be back

I feel like that's something James Rolfe, a.k.a. AVGN, would say.

Yeah that was great 😂

He put nearly zero effort into the role. Funny thing is he seamed to know the source material really well, like more than just an entry level fan. There are a few interviews were he talks about talking to Joel about the different sides of Bruce and a few really deep cut theories like playing Bruce as secretly gay. Just like Chris brought up in the video. Why he didn't bother to use any of it is unknown. He checks out mentally once people try to press him on this movie

Yet he agreed to play Stan’s gay dog in South Park

It’s crazy that Schumacher did lost boys one of the best movies of the 80s also did the worst movie of the 90s

I thought that movie was ok. I felt that it needed more Matthew McConaughey nipple outfits.

As Nostalgia Critic said it "best": it's like the dance number from Spider-Man 3; it's supposed to be funny, and it's hilarious. It is bad, but that's why we have to love it

How much cocaine was used to make this “movie”? That’s the story I want to hear!

Nah, i doubt Arnold actually knew the movie was terrible at the time.

No just how?.

Of course he had fun. They paid his non-acting ass 25 million dollars. Today, 25 million is Marvel money but Schwarzenegger got it in 1997.

Frederick Caballero or the Arkham series. Excuse me, I have to go cry like a little girl. :'(

Fuck bob kane. Bill finger is the man

It would've brought tears to his eyes.

Bob Kane is a crook. Bill Finger is the DUDE!

What does it matter? Bob Kane is a fraud.

@@WoodyWoodpecker19843 retard isn't like saying nigger

@@TheAstroZombi Yes it is. It's offensive and hurtful towards people with disabilities. Sure people thought it was funny in 2008 but it isn't funny now that times have changed and things have gotten more politically correct. Just think about how you would feel if you were mentally disabled and someone called you a retard.

@@WoodyWoodpecker19843 well people should grow up and stop being offended over words,they should stop being retards

I was thinking the same thing XD Poor guy. I hope he's watching The Dark Night in heaven.

I wasn't the only one who noticed

what would he think about batfleck?

+Yasha Haider I think he'd say *"YES FINALLY"*

+Yasha Haider He'd probably cry

Literally.

me too

at least joal schummacher had the good grace to apologise to those who took it seriously

It was wiped of my memory entirely... I was lucky. More likely it sucked and so I forgot all about it. It was so much time ago though...

A joke is supposed to be funny... (imo there's nothing funny about this movie) :)

Still more then Bill Finger (Batman's co-creator) ever got.

I’d have really wanted him to see the Nolan trilogy

Glad the last thing stand Lee saw was Avengers 4 and Spider-Man 2, far from home. Or at least he shit cameos for them, he was good friends with Bob Kane too

@@sasuey Bill Finger sadly never even saw Tim Burton's Batman movie...

@@uscman Now that's a crying shame

Everybody just yell and scream at each other nobody is civil anymore nobody thinks what is like to be the other guy.

@@abramsullivan7764 When the chips are down, these, uh, so called civilized people... they’ll eat each other

this movie is stupid

*Don't forget that one:* "I bet your parents taught you that you mean something, that you're here for a reason. My parents taught me a different lesson, dying in the gutter for no reason at all... They taught me the world only makes sense if you force it to."

"Rubber lips are immune to your charms"- Robin. Is that his most famous line?

Thank you!

Bob Kane was a first class scumbag.

Yep, Bob Kane sure had a big ego.

***** its more of a response to Chris thinking kane made batman when Bill Finger actually did

Bob Kane deserved watching Batman and Robin.

Leonardo Cucchiara Don't forget the final part; George Clooney: Hi Freeze, I'm Batman. Christian Bale: ....No you're not. XD

I envy you

I bought the DVD. Because it's fun.

And you should consider yourself incredibly fortunate.

@@mauvem it's fun!? WHY? Would you Make A HORRIBLE JOKE INSTEAD OF WATCHING THIS MOVIE I SPENT TWO SLAMMING MY HEAD INTO THE WALL!

I've seen Batman & Robin when I was a kid I'll never see it again.

Arnold not Arlond

How about now?

I still love it, 33yo

Same, I was 9 yo boy and thought it was a masterpiece.

Then you nagged your parents to buy toys I’m guessing

Good for you man now go watch JOKER (2019) it's not a kid film.

He still does it, sice ER. It's annoying.

I thought I was the only one that always noticed in all his films he bobs his head when he talks. Its weird

Jay Leno does that as well😂

those times are long gone bro

@@leonardocucchiara4782 🤣

same here. to me it doesn't sound like he knows him at all in any way.

A thing they didn't bring up though is the fact that Gordon introduces Mr. Freeze like he's a fucking heavy weight boxing champion.

It's how he emphasises it. When you're asking a question, your tone of voice goes up. When you're disappointed with someone, your tone of voice goes down. If you're disappointed with someone, it means you know who they are. It's as simple as that. This can also be used as a comedically effect. Like in Anchorman, when someone types a question mark in the teleprompter, and Ron says "I'm Ron Burgundy?" with his tone of voice going up.

This whole fucking thread is hilarious.

yeah that's what I always thought too, Chris was kinda reaching on this one

*slow clap* Bravo, sir. Bravo.

you have just won the internet mate

Yes!

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hahaha made my dayXD

That bane was ok but any things better than this shit

That wasn't bane in DKR, it was more Mutant Leader than Bane

+Hrittik Azad no, it was bane without the venom steroid

+Hrittik Azad just a realistic bane

Luiz Rhakesh I was still sad at banes eventual demise in the film, and his revealed inconsequentiality to the endgame. Saddened me as a fanboy, but worked for the film.

***** Yeah, you can't direct a movie very well if you're being told to make it a toy commercial.

***** Exactly.

+Christian Tyler Hannah I'm sympathetic, but actors do have the option to turn down movies. It was bad decisions all around.

emma kai It's a Batman movie, pretty hard to turn down.

+emma kai (cravingpho) the actors needs a paycheck, so why not star into an comic movie??? but the bad thing in this case it happens to be batman and robin.

Yeah I know. It's an ok movie in my opinion. It's just a popular thing to do now, to just shit on TASM 2

Painful thing with TASM 2 is that it just did everything wrong Spiderman 3 did wrong. It also isn't funny. Way better movie but actually less enjoyable.

I like Amazing Spider Man 2. It was mindless summer popcorn movie fun. It could have been easily a lot better but it is nowhere as bad as Batman and Robin.

Maybe it's a popular thing to do because the movie sucked.

It comes closer than it should.

I could see him as a better Bane then the one in this movie.

I could see stuckmann as a better bane

@@bilboswaggins4983 and that really says something 😂

@@roboturtle214 *than (comparison)

I thought since Batman has probably been crime fighting for a good 5-10 years I took it as Batman saying his name like it was a another day at work

It's okay dude we all have our opinions and they change I also used to like this film but watching after a while made me realize how..... interesting it is

RJ Kroeplin I used think it was good when I was a kid too, your not alone

@Waut Dooghe Haha I promise I know that, thanks

Don't sweat it. I used to watch Green Acres on TV when I was a 5 or 6 and I loved it. Stupidest shit I have seen now.

I loved this movie as a kid, and I now realize it was intended to profit off of kids, so I can understand why

See it's like poetry

Princess Rainbovvs X Musashi It’s so dense, every single image

it's so terribly cheesy and amazing, I love it, every pun and stupid moment.

Exactly

I have the strong conviction that this movie was trying to bring back the 1960's Batman tone. But we weren't in the 60's anymore, for better or for worse... I also believe that this movie accomplished one important thing (whether intentionally or not): it paid a homage to a certain Batman portrayal that we will not see anymore, to a tv show that was a product of its time.

And Zack Snyder

Damn right. The Dark Knight trilogy is still the best comic movies ever by a mile. That says a lot considering the stuff marvel has put out and man of steel and watchmen which were actually amazing DC movies unlike the rest.

B La snack zyder

Hugo Stiglitz I kinda found them boring, they gave off the batman vibe that bored me. Oddly enough Batman and Robin is one of the few Batman solo movies I enjoyed, since it was so goofy and none batman like in any form.

+Diet Sexual_Chocolate If you're not joking or making a sarcasm i honestly think you should see a doctor. if you think this movie is in any way enjoyable

Wise Sage Bum/ Becoming Molehill I Bet your music is shit, I can imagine you make an arse of yourself on stage. You're so cheeky to name your band that, in fact it stinks..... 🍑

The Plastic Paddy Then I guess we'll be bummin' it for a while

Christmas World Your band name is Ur Mom? You do EDM?

Christmas World Ur Mum is a shit band name..... if you get my drift

Christmas World That's an awful name for a band too... Jesus, I hope your music is at least good

Joy Aloysius but it kinda is a cult classic

Leon A it is for me, because when I was little I un-ironically loved the shit out of this movie. And now every time I see it, I’m just like, “eh that was pretty fun.” Because the nostalgia is too strong.

And bat ass!

You could've said "Great have a cold one." 🤣🤣🤣

@@abramsullivan7764 lol yep that's a good one.

The juice amps you up, that's why.

Julio Araque But he's always like that, though... Very funny guy, but I can't watch him for too long because his energy levels are tiring me!

RIGHT?! I thought I was the only one who thought so! Lol

Yeah but she's one of the best parts of the movie.

James Johnson That's what I mean. I completely agree with her being great. I LOVE a good over-acted performance in a schlock film.

I was obsessed with Poison Ivy in this movie! I thought she was fantastic when I was little :p The dance at the Botanical Ball was the best part! So sultry and the music is amazing!

And Batass

Soma Cruz Really? /:I

Leon JO and if it was not for keaton we may not have batmans most iconic phrase because keaton ad limbed that line because in that scene he was ment to say i am the night.

"Hi Freeze,I'm Batman"

Well yeah but I watched Batman Forever before watching this.

Abram Sullivan Nice 👍

You could’ve watched one of his good movies

Taner Archibald I’ve seen The Lost Boys. I liked it :)

Jonah Henrickson if you can find it Falling Down is probably his best

Christopher Nolan: (to the Batman franchise after Batman and Robin) I’m not going to kill you. *Directs Batman Begins and makes it his own* Christopher Nolan: But I don’t have to save you.

You have! It's called "Batman and Robin!"

Starring Richard Simmons and directed by John Waters.

@@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812 I miss Richard Simmons, especially his Letterman interviews.

angelique mercado It totally explains why the movie was referred to as “2 hour toy commercial”. Uma Thurman should go back to the Quentin Tarantino movies.

Cybernetic Nerd This was before she did the Kill Bill movies. This and the Avengers knocked her back for a few years.

@Allen Greene Uma Thurman was in Pulp Fiction before Batman & Robin.

Yup, that was just about my, reaction when I rewatch, this crapfest of a moive.

Cybernetic Nerd Yeah although she still wasn’t that well known. Although it doesn’t matter who was in the film. Michael Keaton or Christian Bale or Ben Affleck could have been Batman in this film and it still would have sucked because of how badly and how corny it was written.

Kinda like you?

Hohoho original comment, Leonidas. And it's true. Kane shouldn't even be as famous as he is. Bill Finger should be the one that gets all the love and praise.

Holy shit, he didn't even get to see the Dark Knight Trilogy. Instead he saw this. That's horrible.

I will turn to the Dark Side of the Force.

At least he got to see the first Batman from 1989. I think he would've enjoyed that one immensely.

Same 🤣🤣

Sounded like Firestorm's reference.

I was dying also when John was talking about the hidden button 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😆🤣

"Hey Batman, could I borrow one of your lasers? I mean you have ice skates built into your boots, could I borrow one of your extra lasers? No? You're just gonna leave? Well FUCK YOU TOO!!"

That's my favorite part of the video

lol

It don’t kill him

Eye cancer is a real thing. I've seen it. 😂😂😂

But Bill Finger lives on in our hearts.

Lol

I love the guy but I feel bad for him he apologize for this movie when it was the studios fault they made this movie straight for the toys and Schumacher took the blame for their shitty script
