10 Comic Book Movies You Should Feel Guilty For Enjoying
7. Batman & Robin (1997)
In the late 90s, director Joel Schumacher did a successful job of butchering the Batman franchise with the atrocious Batman & Robin. Upon its release it flopped hard with both critics and at the box-office. You can routinely find it on many worst movies of all time lists, and it is considered one of, if not the, worst superhero movie ever. There are plenty of things that are just wrong about this film. Bane was a complete waste of an awesome character. Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze is flat-out ridiculous. Alicia Silverstones Batgirl is pointless. And Chris ODonnell as Robin is probably one of the first cinematic superheroes that every film-goer collectively wanted to dropkick in the face. Though, this is all part of the film's charm. Batman & Robin fails hilariously on so many levels that you cant look away, and you dont really want to. Every time you watch it, its almost like a new experience because you notice a new level of bad each time. Its not just bad though, Batman & Robin has transcended into the realm of so-bad-its-good, or perhaps so-bad-its-hilarious. Yes, this movie is horrible but whenever it comes on cable late at night, you know youre watching it.
