Reviews & comments
Variety
pressUnfortunately, the operative word is bland, as the newcomers don't add much to the formula, leaving it to their nemeses to enliven the proceedings. Narrative drive and humor are also in short supply, which creates a serious sagsag in the middle when the novelty of the fresh components has mostly worn off.
The New York Times
pressJoel Schumacher, director and ringmaster, piles on the flashy showmanship and keeps the film as big, bold, noisy and mindlessly overwhelming as possible.
Roger Ebert
pressBatman & Robin, like the first three films in the series, is wonderful to look at, and has nothing authentic at its core.
Los Angeles Times
pressLacking most kinds of inspiration and geared to undemanding minds, this project is so overloaded with hardware and stunts, it's a relief to have it over.
