Why Arnold Schwarzenegger was the worst Mr. Freeze there is, the worst Mr. Freeze there ever has been, and the worst Mr. Freeze there ever will be.

Batman and Robin (1997) did a lot of things bad --- but the worst of the worst is their poor depiction of Mr. Freeze.

The all time worst of the worst of Batman's big screen rogues gallery in the worst of the worst of Batman's big screen adaptations.

Tom Hardy, eat your heart out.

The original big screen Bane didn't leave behind big shoes to fill.

This Bane was awful as the movie that he starred in. 1997's Batman and Robin

Uma Thurman may just be one of the most under appreciated big screen villains. She played the part of Poison Ivy well ... unfortunately she played that part in Batman and Robin. What is widely considered to be the worst Batman movie of all time and one of the worst movies of all time in general.

I loved Arnold's version of Mr. Freeze. He was hilarious! Plus it was nice that he turned good at the end.

Uma Thurman was both interesting and ridiculous as Poison Ivy, but she made it work. However, this movie was inaccurate in how she poisoned men with her kisses. She couldn't originally produce the venom from her lips in the comic book lore; she had to put on poisonous lipstick she made herself in her lab first.

I didn't actually know this until I watched the 90s cartoon again and heard about that third Christopher Nolan Batman film, but this movie actually really did do Bane dirty. He wasn't originally a mutated, nearly mindless thug that did whatever Ivy told him to do. He was originally his own villain, and a particularly difficult one for Batman to fight because he was smart.
