Love DC or hate it, you can’t deny that they know how to make a good Batman movie. For nearly 100 years, the Caped Crusader has remained one of the most popular superheroes in pop culture.
A key important explanation for Batman’s continuing popularity today can more directly be tied to the Dark Knight’s numerous big-budget movies, many of them loved by fans worldwide.
This movie was laughably bad — full of ice puns (27 in total) and over-the-top cartoonish dialogue, action, characters, and set pieces, making it one of the strangest Batman movies ever and by far the worst.
Nearly as weird as Batman & Robin but not quite as bad; this movie’s main issue is it’s hopeless miscasting. Val Kilmer gives a very wooden, robotic performance as Batman.
Batman: The Movie is about as lighthearted a Batman movie you’ll find, full of wacky dialogue, zany action, and plenty of “Swoosh,” “Kapow,” and “Ouch!” sound effects during fight sequences.
