Return of the Dark Knight
Advantages: Tim Burton, Michael Keaton
Disadvantages: Batman and Robin, George Clooney, Nipples on the suit!
...set contains the first 4 Batman films, and the great thing about this box set is that it is cheaper than buying the films individually, and it chronicles the change in the Batman genre, from dark and moody (Burton), to more slapstick and comic-book like (Schumacher).
And so we begin with Batman (1989). This is not an origin story, like Batman Begins, instead, the film picks up with Batman already well established as a masked vigilante, putting the ...
...a bell tower showdown.
Batman is a very dark affair, but watching it, even now, it's not difficult to see why this film became (at the time) one of the top 10 highest grossing films ever. Burton paints a dark, decrepit, devastating Gotham City, whilst Michael Keaton was born to play the dark knight. Jack Nicholson, as usual, steals the film with one of the great super-villain displays, as the demented Joker. Next to Batman Returns, which sees the ...

Batman develops some colourful tendencies
Advantages: Entertaining throughout
Disadvantages: Not Batman enough for me....
...a big fan of the Batman films in general, so I find it hard to work out whether this is actually a 'good' film or not. Does the fact that I enjoyed the entertainment value of this film mean that it is good? Or that some of the special effects and over-glossy colours are particularly shoddy means it's bad?
I suppose it harkens back to beauty being in the eye of the beholder. If you like this film, then you'll think it's good, if you didn't then it's ...
...and Arnie as Mr Freeze, Batman winds up with a bit more help in the guise of Batgirl (Alicia Silverstone).
As our heroes combat our villains to save the city of Gotham from more megalomaniacs, you have to start questioning the sanity of some of these villains. You'd think, after failures by such great villains as the Joker and the Riddler, Two-Face, Penguin and Catwoman, that villains would consider Gotham a bit of a no-no when it comes to target ...

Should they have stopped at three?
Advantages: Lots of Famous faces playing lead roles.
Disadvantages: Introduction of Batgirl.
...fight scenes. This time around Batman ( now taken over by George Clooney) and his new partner ( Still played by Chris O'Donnel) face Dr.Freeze ( Arnold Schwarzenegger) as he tries to encapsulate Gotham city in ice. The character of Poison Ivy is played well by Uma Thurman and provides a nice break from the usual gung ho maniacs and their goons. Batman & Robin displays most of the characteristics of any 'Action' film made in the last decade. It has ...

Batsh*te
Advantages: None whatsoever
Disadvantages: Everything you can think of
...instead of taking him on, Batman and Robin just crack poor one-liners and beat up some hockey stick wielding thugs (very badly). After the spaceship ride things look to be improving but then we get an awful Uma Thurman who must have had an off-day and the horrendous Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl (a character which was not needed let alone played well by the actress). The entrance of biker-batgirl who teams up with Robin is perhaps one of the worst ...
...far better. His previous film Batman Forever was actually very good so where did it all go wrong? It's doubtful anyone will know but from the dodgy plant-ness of Poison Ivy (who tries to split up Batman and Robin's partnership) to the icy ending which includes the freezing of a dog taking a p against an unfortunate nearby post. This film totally stinks and smells worse than a farmers field when covered in pig crap, Total Film magazine pretty much ...
