“Batman and Robin” struggled under the weight of its own excess
By Andrea Thompson
Watching Batman & Robin is weird under the best of circumstances. And note that I do not say strange. I say weird, and I stand by it. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore, but under the circumstances, it’s a good thing. I say this with a certain amount of fondness, as I can finally admit what I once kept a closely guarded secret for years: I watched this movie over and over as a kid.
