The untold truth of Batman & Robin

https://www.looper.com/157941/the-untold-truth-of-batman-robin/

In such widely divisive times as these, it's nice to know there are some things that truly unite people, and one of those things is hating on Joel Schumacher's Batman & Robin. The fourth film in the OG Batman franchise and Schumacher's second attempt at a blockbuster Batman movie (the first being the financially successful but kind of terrible Batman Forever), Batman & Robin put an end to the beloved Batman movie series that Tim Burton started in 1989.

The film is so universally loathed that it's become an almost too-obvious cliché to bring it up in lists of the worst films ever made. However, it's worth noting that it's also found a new cult audience, particularly within the LGBTQ community where the film's brazen blend of campy visuals, stilted acting, and unparalleled homo-eroticism is fully embraced and celebrated as being an unexpected trashy hoot to watch. 

But no film with such notoriety happens without a cluster of behind-the-scenes madness, oddball anecdotes, and strange facts surrounding it, and Batman & Robin is no different. Prepare your worst ice-related puns and throw on something extremely tight and uncomfortable as we dive headfirst into the untold story of Batman & Robin.
