Your essay on Batman Forever was amusing, but this one is hilarious. I actually really liked Batman and Robin when I saw it in theaters when I was 13 because it was similar to Batman Forever (which I used to love), but I didn't watch it a bunch like I did with its predecessor. I still look back on Shumacher's first film with pleasant nostalgia, but I'm embarrassed by this one, even though I have never hated it.
The common opinion about these four Batman movies is that Burton's were good and Schumacher's were bad. However, there's a less popular theory (which I believe in) that their first films were good and because they were so financially successful, their styles were ramped up in the second films to a negative degree.
