Even more new footage. Is it just me or does it seem ludicrous that after Superman hit Batman hard enough to go through a building (literally), he would say, " If I wanted it, you would be dead already" ? Completely un-Superman like. So arrogant too. Doomsday please... humble this Kryptonian.

^Couldn't have said it better Tom.

I also find as I get older, I prefer less and less "grim" movies. I never watch gut wrenching dramas...movies about sick and/or dying people...grisly horror movies, etc. Life can be depressing as it is...I look to movies to escape that, not be reminded of it. I like my movies to be fun, whether it's comedy, superheroes, sci-fi, action, or even classic monsters. As such, I've missed seeing some of the most iconic films ever made. And I'm okay with that, because some movies that I have seen...Schindler's List for example, I wish I had never watched, and will never watch it again.

Movies are always going to be a very subjective matter because people enjoy them for different reasons. I have gathered, by the discussions all of us have participated in through the years, most covet films and television shows that would not exactly win mainstream consensus with anyone today. Sometimes we love them for their dated production values or simplicity in application that reminds us of simpler times. Whatever the reason, most of these would not win many awards today (and some didn't win anything for the period they were released). Does that matter to any of us? Of course not. So Batman & Robin is no less a contender for that kind of discussion.

For me, when it comes to Batman, I have to be in a myriad of different moods to throw in certain movies. The Nolan films are well crafted movies, but if I've had a bad day it's the last thing in the world I want to see. You could probably park Batman Returns in that lot as well. But if I want to simply sit back and watch spectacle and just get lost in a fun house of adventure, Forever or B&R offer exactly what I need to recharge my batteries. The kids grew up loving them and my grandson is bonkers over it as well (and he's quite intelligent too). My kids are in their 20's now and they don't need me to explain the difference between a Schumacher movie and Nolan. They get that the treatment is different. But that's also what makes it inviting for them. They enjoy the Nolan movies but also like relaxing to the color of Schumacher's world. You don't have to be a blithering idiot to enjoy those movies as they are and fully understand they are just pushing the color of Batman's world and not trying to sulk in the darkness of the concept as if that mood makes it a project of higher endeavor. It's a guy in a bat suit driving a show car called the "Batmobile". Anyone want to suggest a Batman movie who's primary goal was NOT to sell toys? I think Schumacher might have offered a public service announcement.

^He also commented that he was specifically encouraged to make it "toyetic" to cross-promote merchandising.

FYI - when Shumacher finally got out of movie jail with Tigerland, he admitted that B&R was consciously a remake of '66. He was out doing promotional and said everyone knew, the studio agreed on that direction as they felt it was the best road to reach kids, Joel got the idea from his then 10-y/old nephew who loved it.

Isn't Smallville by it's very definition the life of Clark Kent BEFORE he was Superman?

[Marvelmania]

You enjoyed Smallville, that's all I need to know, nuff said...

[Hector]

Damn you, now you are forcing me to defend Iron Man 3. What's going on here?

I love Christopher Reeve and yes he is charming but he can't even save the train wreck that is Superman IV. Not a big RDJ fan but IMO IM 3 still beats it out. You'd have to pay me good money to rewatch either of those movies
I did enjoy Smallville for the first 1-3 seasons. Lois and Clark to me is on the bottom when it comes to Supes movies or shows, again just MHO.

[Hector]

The ONLY thing, and I do mean, the ONLY thing worse than Iron Man 3 is...drum roll please...

Smallville.

Why?

Because as much as I hated the Tony Stark show...Downy at least wore the suit...and he was Iron Man.

Tom Welling wearing the Supes suit for only ten seconds after a decade on the air...in the very last episode, in a darkened long shot...sorry...that's worse, much, much, much worse.

Iron Man 3 >>>>> Smallville.

Thank you and good night...

[Hector]

Freddy Got Fingered is better than Iron Man 3...and good gawd, I HATE Tom Green...

[Hector]

Sorry but IM3 totally beats Superman IV, both are just so bad.

Nope.

Both bad, but Christopher Reeve was still charming.

I just wanted to smash Robert Downey's face soooo bad.

Keep trying, lol...

There's no bigger fan of Batman '66 than me, but you have lost your mind. Do I need to drive upstate an do an intervention?

On the other hand, there's a lot I like about Superman IV, so who knows?

Nope. I stand by my statement. I love, love, LOVE Arnold as Mr. Freeze! I was quoting that movie for months after I saw it!
His one liners were priceless!

Okay everyone...CHILL!
Allow me to break the ice...
What killed the dinosaurs...THE ICE AGE!
My name is Freeze...it is the chilling sound of your doom!
You're not sending ME to the cooler!
Pheromone dust...clever little clover...it doesn't work on the cold hearted!

And the best part? Arnold's henchmen singing "He's Mr. White Christmas...he's Mr. Snow!"
