Colin the dude’s review:
7-year-old me didn't know any better, but Warner Bros. really struggled to discern a coherent plot into their bat films, continuing to mask incompetence with flash. The polar opposite of cool.
Agree, this movie is outrageously bad. Everyone just thinks its B&R, but no, this one stunk too, I think more people were just willing to give it a pass after Batman Returns. 7-year-old me also probably didn't notice the horridness of this, but I do think I watched the first Keaton Batman more often, or at least I like to think I did.
This movie is so many deep, dark levels of bad that it's not worth anyone's time even regurgitating it back to memory. There is not a single instance stemmed from any form of inspiration. Just lifeless film-making. Hate to beat a dead horse, but this one had lingered in my memory with what felt like a hair of affection.
Well, not anymore.
