Of all modern Batmans, George Clooney bears the closest physical resemblance to the comic-book hero, but there isn't much to say about his performance because there isn't much performance to discuss.

The movie has its entertaining flashes, but there's too much bat-jive and bat-hokum.
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
Rotten
In terms of new twists or narrative momentum. Poison Ivy, the sinuous villainess, is the only relief from the onslaught of spoofy humor, special effects and meaningless comic book mayhem.
Rita Kempley, Washington Post

[A] loud, long and pointless spectacle.

Batman & Robin won't kill the popular series, but it ought to slow it down a tad.
