**Bane here is closer to a character from the comics named Ivan, later known as Ivor. Like the Bane, Ivan doesn't speak much except for short and simple sentences. The scene where Ivy disguises herself with a wig and Bane/Ivan drives her from the airport comes from 1981's ''Batman'' #339. Just like Bane, Ivan is turned into a powerful half man, half plant (as evidence in 1982's ''Batman'' #344)) that's enhanced with a formula that is based on Ivy's (which she developed to create carnivore plants).
**Barbera Wilson/Batgirl is a composite of Barbara Gordon and Alfred's niece, Daphne (who first shows up in 1969's ''Batman'' #216).

After the box-office success of 1995's ''BatmanForever'', a sequel was inevitable. Audiences that backlashed against the DarkerAndEdgier ''BatmanReturns'' found the lighter, more comedic tone of ''Forever'' to be a welcome change of pace. So come 1997, what does Warner Bros. do? Secure an AllStarCast, turn the camp UpToEleven, and throw $125 million into the production of the film. What came out is a film that many people [[SnarkBait love to hate]], even to this day.

Director JoelSchumacher has largely been blamed for "killing" the Batman franchise with this movie. To be fair, he resented the ExecutiveMeddling that pushed him to to get the film out as fast as possible in order to capitalize on the success of the previous film, pressure that resulted in a rushed script that he was very unhappy with (in many cases it recreated sequences and plot points from the previous film beat-for-beat). To his credit, while pointing out these problems, Schumacher has also noted that, as the director, it was ultimately his film and he bears final responsibility for how it turned out.

Mr. Freeze (ArnoldSchwarzenegger) opens the film as a diabolical madman who is stealing diamonds across Gotham and comes across the duo of Batman (George Clooney) and Robin (Chris O'Donnell) for the first time, managing to escape capture. Meanwhile, in South America, botanist, chemist and environmentalist Pamela Isley (UmaThurman) is caught up in a MadScientist's plan to create a SuperSoldier named Bane (Jeep Swenson and Michael Reid Mac Kay). Isley was killed when she objected, only for various chemicals to resurrect her as the villain Poison Ivy with a KissOfDeath. She now doesn't seem to mind about Bane being a SuperSoldier and heads off to Gotham with him in tow to take revenge on corporate America, specifically Wayne Enterprises (even though they were funding her research to help the environment) and uses her LovePotion to make every man fall for her. She joins forces with Freeze to TakeOverTheWorld. By the way, Batman has a [[MemeticMutation Bat Credit Card]].
This film did help discredit the old stereotype that a SuperHero production has to be or seem suitable for kids like the old AdamWest ''{{Batman}}'' [[Series/{{Batman}} TV series]], if only by ''reductio ad absurdum.'' This film's reception and weaker (but still successful) box office essentially ended the Burton/Schumacher era of ''Batman'', leaving the franchise in limbo for eight years until Christopher Nolan's [[TheDarkKnightTrilogy reboot franchise]].
