Batman SquareOffs

Batman and Robin might be the more tonally consistent film of the two, but the best scenes in Batman and Robin are never as good as the best scenes in Batman Forever in my opinion. I also think Batman Forever just tells a better Batman story overall.

Batman Forever is more balanced and less awkward, but both are better stories than Batman Returns and actually about Batman.

Batman Forever is obviously the better film because, for all its faults, it's at least trying to be about Batman's character. Batman & Robin is nothing but a feature-length toy commercial. B&R even steals most of its plot from Forever.

No way, "Batman Forever" is definitely the better movie of the 2! This is not to say I even dislike "Batman & Robin," as I see it as a harmless flick. However, "Forever" places Batman in the center of the story, executes a well-done Robin origin, and offers up a great Riddler! "Forever" is a blast!

I don’t think I have to explain anything for this. Batman and Robin is, at least I think, the worst Batman movie. It’s stupid, doesn’t really have a plot, and Batman Forever just is a better movie overall.

Because Baan Forever is actually trying trying be a movie about Bruce Wayne's psychology. The first movie to attempt this. Sure Begins would do it better but no other attempt was made before this. Also the tone, costumes and style are so much better. B&R is just a childish rehash

The one thing I can appreciate about Forever is the decent attempt and mostly successful character study of Bruce. It's actually the first film before Begins where Bruce is the protagonist. Kilmers performance is underrated too. That's the one thing that makes it better for me.

Kiss from a rose

While I can enjoy B&R for the reason of it knowing how stupid it is, Forever though has genuinely well done ideas, concepts, set pieces, with it feeling like an early 70s Batman comic book

You’re a little early for April Fools ya know

It's just a better written and acted movie hands down. People want to give Batman and Robin too much because it's admittedly received far too much vitriol, but that should lead to us proclaiming such a poor film good (or even decent - this one is quite bad).

Wha??? Who is saying that?

The Batman because I like how he goes through an arc from focusing on vengeance to being a symbol of hope. It shows the contrast to what batman was like in his early days and what he'll become. In Begins after he returns to Gotham he knows what he wants to achieve and doesn't change from that

Batman Begins is more of an origin story. I like more of Batman’s early days, but not, like, his first day ever. And I think this movie is less boring. It’s my favorite Batman movie ever.
