-->'''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:\\
A: Celebrity gossip,\\
B: Political satire.\\
C: Family dilemmas\\
Or\\
D: Ice\\
''(cut to a montage of movie clips where Mr. Freezes makes lots of ice puns)''\\
'''Critic:''' If your answer was D, ''no fucking shit!''\\
'''Mr. Freeze:''' ''(out of context clip)'' Thanks for playing.

** Near the start of the review, the Critic watches the beginning of the film and comments, "Well this isn't so bad. They're just suiting up, there's the Batmobile, the music's nice... Maybe this won't be so horrible after all." He is immediately DrivenToSuicide as soon as Robin and Batman say their first lines.

'''Critic''': ''GODDAMN THIS MOVIE!!!!'' It did it, it finally did it! Batman has driven me bat-shit crazy! (does a WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker laugh before taking more tranquilizer pills) Ahh... tranquilizers. Always come prepared when Joel Schumacher is involved.
