2
3	'''Movie:''' ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' (1997)
4
5	!!This review contains examples of:
6
7	* BadBadActing: At one point he tries to swap himself out with an obvious dummy with pre-recorded lines saying things like "I hate this. I wish I could kill myself", etc, in a totally flat voice.
8	* BerserkButton: Doug is now forever forced to reenact his rage from this episode whenever someone at a con says "Bat credit card!"
9	* BondVillainStupidity: Referenced:
10	--> '''Mr. Freeze''': Your emotions make you weak. That's why this day is mine! I'll kill you next time!\
11	'''Critic''': Why not kill him ''now''??\
12	'''Bruce Wayne:''' ''(out of context clip)'' I wish I knew.
13	* CallBack: To the ''Street Fighter'' review.
14	--> '''Critic''': So the story centers around our main heroes Batman, played by George Clooney, and Robin, played by Chris O'Donnell, as they plan to stop the evil Mr. Freeze from, you guessed it, taking over the world.\
15	'''M. Bison''': Of COURSE!
16	** Not once, but twice:
17	---> '''Critic''': By using her love of deadly plants, Poison Ivy's diabolical goal is to, you guessed it, take over the world.\
18	'''M. Bison''': Of COURSE!
19	* ChewbaccaDefense: According to the Critic, ''Batman and Robin'' is so bad lawyers are actually using it as an argument that at least their clients' crimes aren't as heinous as directing the film.
20	* ChromaKey: During the ''Film/MaryPoppins'' parody.
21	* CyanidePill: Out of all the ways the team made sure the Critic couldn't kill himself while reviewing this movie, they forgot to deprive him of this. He barely gets into the movie before he tries to take it and is then forced to spit it out.
22	* DrivenToSuicide: The Critic is ''really'' inclined to die rather than sit through the film.
23	* GoMadFromTheRevelation: His reaction to the infamous Bat Credit Card scene.
24	-->'''Critic:''' A Bat... Credit Card...? They gave him a Bat Credit Card? They have the ''BALLS'' to give one of the greatest superheroes of all time... a '''''Bat Credit Card'''''?!?! NO!!! NO!!! ''Does not compute! Does not compute!!!'' Rants
25	* ObligatoryJoke: "[[Series/SaturdayNightLive The Ambiguously Gay Duo!]]"
26	* PopQuiz:
27	-->'''Critic:''' Mr. Freeze is stealing a diamond that apparently powers his subzero suit. Apart from that, his only goal seems to be making jokes about a subject matter that unfortunately lends itself to a lot of insufferable puns, and I'll give you four guesses as to what that subject matter is:\
28	A: Celebrity gossip,\
29	B: Political satire.\
30	C: Family dilemmas\
31	Or\
32	D: Ice\
33	''(cut to a montage of movie clips where Mr. Freezes makes lots of ice puns)''\
34	'''Critic:''' If your answer was D, ''no fucking shit!''\
35	'''Mr. Freeze:''' ''(out of context clip)'' Thanks for playing.
36	* RuleOfThree: The Critic freaks out three times in a row over the Bat Credit Card.
37	* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: After the Critic thinks that the movie has devolved into something akin to the campy ''Series/{{Batman\|1966}}'' TV show of the 1960s, he screams, "HEEEEEELLLLLP!!", in a high-pitch voice.
38	* ShoutOut:
39	** The Critic claims that ''Batman and Robin'' is a form of execution practiced in parts of the Far East, while showing the "Take him to Detroit" scene from ''Film/TheKentuckyFriedMovie'' (though said line was dubbed out with gibberish and subtitled "Show him ''Batman & Robin''").
40	** When Poison Ivy is about to be defeated, the Critic dares her to say "Curses!", and says "I double dare you, mothafucka!" in the style of Jules from ''Film/PulpFiction''.
41	* SongParody: At the end of the review, The Critic sings a parody of "[[Film/MaryPoppins Supercalifragilisticexpialadocious]]", which he renames as "Supercrapafuckerrificexpialibullshit".
42	* TemptingFate:
43	** Critic repeatedly makes comments in the style of "the only way this could be [worse/more cliched/etc] is if X happened," followed by it actually happening, and a pained reaction from Critic. He finally smartens up the fourth time, and ''demands'' that Ivy says "curses!" after her plans are foiled, she does, he goes crazy.
