'Batman & Robin' (1997)

Season 2 of DC Multicast continues! This week it’s a DC TV Classics reunion as Keith welcomes Batman & Robin superfan Britney Monae to discuss the end of the Schumacher era!

Widely derided as the film that killed the Batman franchise, Britney shares why the film gets unfairly criticized and reminds us that there is a generation that discovered the movie as children. Moreover, they discuss how its embrace of camp was not only an homage to Batman’s ‘60s sensibilities but was also an expression of the film’s queer subtext and influence. They also spend time on George Clooney’s Flash cameo and speculate about what a third Schumacher movie might have been like.


DC Multicast is a multi-part series covering the entirety of DC Comics’ theatrical movie catalog. For season 2, join host Keith Chow and special guests as they analyze every DC movie from 1992’s Batman Returns through 2009’s Watchmen!
