Action fantasy starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, George Clooney, Uma Thurman and Chris O'Donnell. Called to the Gotham City Museum of Art where Mr Freeze and his gang are in the process of stealing a huge diamond, Batman and Robin are thwarted in their attempts to stop the heist when the Boy Wonder is frozen by the villains.
With the Batman franchise looking decidedly tired, Caped Crusader Mark 3 was introduced in the shape of George Clooney, who was at the height of his ER popularity, in an attempt to pep up the flagging formula. The rugged former TV medic doesn't disgrace himself in this wild special-effects extravaganza that is as close to a cartoon adventure as director Joel Schumacher could get. There's a decidedly two-dimensional Arnold Schwarzenegger as a heavily accented Mr Freeze, while Uma Thurman gave birth to a million copycat hairstyles as seductive villainess Poison Ivy. Schumacher piles on the action, but this is still the least satisfying entry in the series.
