B+R was like a botched rehash of Forever


You notice B&R kinda copys Forever in terms of the storyline, music, tone.

Films starts with Batman suiting up to fight a villain, second villain that's a scientist, a teenager who comes to join Batman and joins him to fight the villains at the finale, Batman gets a new costume just before the grand finale, and of course the films ends with Batman and Robin running in front of the bat signal.

With Batman Forever, at least in it's defense, it still had something clear that it wanted to say and get across in its message. That message being that Bruce Wayne is Batman because he wants and choses to be, not because he has to be. This is pretty much why the movie is called Batman FOREVER. What the hell is the core message and theme in Batman & Robin?

The message of Batman & Robin is that Uma Thurman may be the hottest woman to ever exist, but if you try to sleep with her, she’ll kill you.

They had to recycle the template of Forever just to make B&R functional.

It has the exact same score but played at a different pace.
