Batman & Robin (film)

"It took God seven days to create paradise. Lets see if I can do better."

"I was in a rubber suit. I had rubber nipples. I could have played him straight but I didnt. I made him gay."

"Can you feel it coming? The icy cold of space. At 30,000 feet, your heart will freeze and beat no more."

"Listening to Schwarzeneggers one-liners ("The iceman cometh!"), I realized that a funny thing is happening to the series: Its creeping irresistibly toward the tone of the 1960s TV show. The earlier Batman movies, especially the dark Batman Returns (1992), made a break with the camp TV classic and went for moodier tones. But now the puns and punchlines come so fast the action has to stop and wait for them. Although we dont get the POW! and WHAM! cartoon graphics, this fourth movie seems inspired more by the TV series than the Bob Kane comic character."

"Because of my love for the world of Batman, I went to Joel Schumachers Batman & Robin with real anticipation. I got thrilled all over again by the Gothic towers of Gotham City. I was reminded of how cool the Batmobile is (Batman has a new one), and I smiled at the fetishistic delight with which Batman and Robin put on their costumes, sheathing themselves in shiny black second skins and clamping on lots of belts, buckles, shields, hooks, pulleys, etc. (How much does that stuff weigh? How do they run while theyre wearing it?) But my delight began to fade at about the 30-minute mark, when it became clear that this new movie, like its predecessors, was not *really* going to explore the bizarre world of its heroes, but would settle down safely into a special effects extravaganza. Batman & Robin, like the first three films in the series, is wonderful to look at, and has nothing authentic at its core."

"No matter what they tell you, Mr. Bane, it is the size of your gun that counts."
