History Film / BatmanAndRobin

* HeroesWantRedheads: Robin spends most of the film in love with Poison Ivy, a redheaded villain, and believes Batman is jealous. [[spoiler:He wises up enough to take precautions by the time they share a kiss.]]

* AdaptationDyeJob: Batgirl is a blonde here rather than a redhead (although this might be due to the character taking cues from [[Characters/Batgirl Bette Kane]]). This Barbara is also Alfred's niece, instead of Jim Gordon's daughter, so she's not ''exactly'' the same character.

* {{Sexophone}}: Poison Ivy's recurring leitmotif is built around this, usually when she appears in the room and goes into seduction mode. It starts off bold, sultry and alluring before trailing off into eerie, [[DroneOfDread dark territory]] and rising to a crescendo at the end.

* HulkSpeak: When not repeating words from others, Bane will simply utter his own name like a Pokémon.

* StaredownFaceoff: Robin and Poison Ivy have this with each other in her lair, while the two of them act like it is a romantic HeldGaze. The two stare intensely at each other from across the room once Ivy reveals herself, and as Robin slowly makes his way towards her until he lays beside her on her throne. They continue to stare at each other after this with their faces lingering only inches apart from each other. Ivy leans forward even closer to Robin and stress down at him when telling Robin to kiss her and she'll tell him what she and Freeze planned. The screen then gives an ExtremeCloseUp of both of them, with Ivy being seen in the foreground of Robin's close-up and Robin in the foreground of Ivy's immediately after, showing just how close the two of them are to each other, and a silent moment passes between them as they stare each other down, both demanding something first before giving the other what they want, until Ivy gives in to Robin's demand first.

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: At one point late in the movie the heroes have to scale a wall that looks hundreds of feet tall. They do so using their grappling hooks. Aside from the question [[HyperspaceArsenal of where the hell all the hundreds of feet of cable are when they aren't using the grappling hooks]], there's no way you could shoot straight up and have the hook actually go that high without gravity getting in the way.

Following up the storyline from the previous movie, Batman (played by Creator/GeorgeClooney) and ComicBook/{{Robin}} (played by Creator/ChrisODonnell) are now a duo and do battle with the new cold-themed villain, ComicBook/MrFreeze (played by Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger). The combative nature of their partnership is further tested by the emergence of a second villain, ComicBook/PoisonIvy (played by Creator/UmaThurman), who has a grudge to bear against all mankind and drives a seductive wedge between the heroes. When Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze form an unusual partnership and plan to freeze Gotham and take over the world, the Dynamic Duo appears outmatched. Good thing Alfred's niece [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} Barbara]] (played by Creator/AliciaSilverstone) is in town and he made her a form-fitting batsuit.

* ExtremeCloseUp: When Poison Ivy is seducing Robin in her lair there's a close up shot of her lips as she whispers "for luck" when requesting a kiss, and lingers for a bit afterwards as she smiles. It is implied that this is a brief POV shot from Robin's perspective, with him staring at Ivy's lips and unable to resist from kissing them anymore.

* TheBigDamnKiss: The kiss between Robin and Poison Ivy is played as this, being the climax of their "relationship" right before things fall apart between them. Poison Ivy has spent most of the film seducing Robin, making him fall in love with her and making him think she loves him too. Poison Ivy eventually lures Robin to her lair under the pretense of said-love for him, but while this appears like the two of them finally having a "proper date" together without interruptions, they both secretly are trying to get something out of the encounter; with Ivy wanting to kill Robin with a poison kiss and Robin wanting to test if Ivy's love for him is genuine with a SecretTestOfCharacter. Once they meet in the center of the lair, Ivy's plants help set the romantic mood between them, and the two proceed to flirt heavily with each other and declare their love for each other. Eventually, Ivy convinces Robin to share one quick kiss with her "[[MotivationalKiss for luck]]" against Freeze, and as the two slowly lean towards each other, and the background music swells dramatically, gaining a dangerous tone as Ivy flashes a quick evil smirk, until they finally share a passionate kiss together. Immediately after the kiss though, they both reveal their lies and mistrust to each other, with Ivy showing her true colors and condemning Robin to death and Robin revealing he [[OutGambitted outsmarted Ivy]] and [[CrazyPrepared protected himself from her poison]] to steal a kiss from her, [[Momentkiller killing all the romantic atmosphere between them]]. After a moment of silence with Ivy [[DeathGlare glaring at Robin]], she lunges at him and shoves him off her throne, with him splashing into her pond and the plants that were part of the romantic setting immediately turning on him and trying to drown him. Ivy leaves him too his fate, strutting away and mockingly waving him goodbye, while quickly taunting him "See ya!" as she does so to rub in that she's "breaking up with him". The moment almost plays out like [[BadDate a date gone wrong]] and a couple breaking up over a bad kiss.

* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: Robin reveals he managed to [[OutGambitted outsmart Poison Ivy]] by pretending to be in love with her until she reveals her true colors to him. Tricking her into revealing her plan to him and managing to steal a kiss from her by covering his lips with a rubber, thus being the only character in the film to survive an onscreen kiss with her. Shortly after he makes this reveal though, Poison Ivy simply shoves him into her pond where her plants try to drown him before he can even attempt to do anything else and she walks off while mockingly waving him goodbye, incapacitating him for the rest of the scene.

** At Freeze's hideout she ambushes Robin after he is knocked aside by Bane. Robin attempts to arrest her, but she is unintimidated by him and instead blows some of her pheromones in his face and offers him a kiss.
** After finally kissing Robin in her lair she taunts him that it was for "bad" luck. But when Robin reveals he was wearing rubber lips and is immune to her poison, she just glares at him before shoving him into her lily pond to have her plants drown him. As Robin struggles for air, Ivy walks away with a smirk and taunts him "see ya" and mockingly waving him goodbye, getting the last laugh in their "relationship" after all.

* BadDate: This is essentially how the final confrontation between Robin and Poison Ivy goes. Ivy spends a majority of the film flirting with Robin and convincing him she loves him, to tear him and Batman apart and eventually kill him with a [[KissOfDeath poison kiss]]. However, they are constantly interrupted before they can kiss by Batman. Eventually, Ivy lures Robin to her lair under the pretense of her love for him and they meet in the center, finally isolated from anymore interruptions and essentially allowing them to finally have a real date together. The two cuddle on Ivy's throne while flirting together, with Robin trying to see if Ivy is really trustworthy and Ivy trying to seduce Robin for a kiss. Eventually, Ivy agrees to explain what she and Freeze have planned together in exchange for Robin kissing her "for luck". Ivy reveals her true colors immediately afterwards and condemns Robin to death, only for Robin to reveals he was playing her himself and [[CrazyPrepared protected himself from her poison]], with her failing the SecretTestOfCharacter he planned for her. As Robin smugly rubs in how he outsmarted Ivy, Ivy [[DeathGlare shoots Robin a dirty glare in humiliation]] over him outsmarting her and stealing a kiss from her, with [[MomentKiller the entire romantic mood between them destroyed]]. Ivy ends up shoving Robin into her lily pond in anger, and the plants attempt to drown Robin for angering her. Their "date" ends with Ivy strutting away, turning to Robin one last time with a smirk as he struggles for air to mockingly wave him goodbye while shouting a taunting "See ya!" to him, officially "breaking up" with him.

** After Batman defeats him in hand-to-hand combat, smashing his protective glass helmet (without which he will die) and leaving him lying on his back and [[WeakenedByTheLight cringing under a beam of sunlight]]. He decides to kill Batman along with himself, pressing a button on his glove that triggers the bombs that Bane had earlier placed around the observatory and screaming "[[DyingCurse FREEZE IN HELL, BATMAN]]!"
** And once more after the bombs fail to kill anyone, including himself. ("Go ahead... kill me too... just as you killed my wife.")

** Poison Ivy ''again'' then she realizes that [[LaserGuidedKarma Mr. Freeze is her new cellmate]], out to make her life "a living hell" for the attempted murder of his wife.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: The two Arkham guards take the chance to ridicule and laugh at Freeze when he attempts to escape the cold beam.

* BareYourMidriff: Post-transformation Pamela Isley rises up from the ruins of her lab with the bottom half of her shirt ripped off, leaving her in what is, essentially, a crop top.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Involuntarily or not, the film's {{camp}}, semi-intentional humor and LargeHam performances make it one to the 1960s ''Series/{{Batman|1966}}'' series.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Okay, it's a throw-away remark, but you'd think that a scientist of all people would know that the dinosaurs were actually killed by an asteroid crashing into the Earth, and that the Ice Age didn't occur until ''sixty-three million years'' later.
** The asteroid did not directly kill all the dinosaurs, but the resulting [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_winter Nuclear Winter]] was effectively an Ice Age and led to the extinction of the Dinosaurs within a few years of the impact.

** Julie Madison is the name of Bruce's first love interest in the Batman comics, a socialite engaged to Bruce that eventually becomes an actress and ends her engagement because she wants Bruce to [[RichIdiotWithNoDayJob do more with his life than be a playboy.]]
