After years of steering well clear of one of the most notoriously bad movies of all time, we finally tackle the most butt and crotch heavy superhero movie ever made. Clooney brings the turtle-neck and somehow manages to not push Robin and Bat-Girl off the rooftops. Is it possible this isn\'t the torture-fest we expected?

In short - yes! It isn\'t the torture-fest we expected. We actually had quite a bit of fun with this turd. Don\'t take us incorrectly, this is a travesty, but after 22 years its inching itself into the "so bad its good" category. There\'s just so much wrong with it that really the only thing holding it back is Robin & Batgirl who are painfully annoying. If the movie had just been Clooney blowing it and Schwaz just hamming it up, it might be in the hall of fame.

Unfortunately, you are stuck with the corporate toys of Robin & Batgirl.

The pacing here is good, so you\'re not stuck wallowing in boredom. The set-pieces are ridiculous. The writing is over-the-top hammy. The acting is terribly entertaining. The makeup, the costumes, the hair all are laughably terrible. All that adds up to being hated by all at it\'s release but now makes for a great laugh.

Go back and do this one over - it\'s not epic, but it definitely can start to be enjoyed for it\'s crumminess.
