Arnold Schwarzenegger's Mr. Freeze has been widely ridiculed, but his casting made sense and it isn't the worst portrayal of the Batman villain.

It's too bad. He was my favorite version of Mr. Freeze because he was funny, and if you looked closely, he still had a small amount of good in him, regarding his wife and giving the cure for McGregor's Syndrome to Batman to save Alfred.

Yeah. I haven't seen it but I am sure Adam West's version was sillier. Then again originally he wasn't a sympathetic villain. The story with his dying wife came from the 90s Batman cartoon.

The worst was Bane in this movie.

Joel Schumacher said the studio didn't care about story they were just trying to sell toys.

He could have been great, but the movie itself is insanely bad and Mr. Freeze and every other character in this are just parody of what they are supposed to be.
