With The Brave and the Bold, a new Batman film is currently being planned, which will bring back Robin as a sidekick alongside the dark avenger in a rather unusual version after decades. Meanwhile, the last cinematic appearance of Batman’s assistant in the person of Richard “Dick” Grayson is now available re-released as a special disc edition available for purchase.
The Batman & Robin from 1997, which was rather negatively received by fans and critics at the time, can now
as a 4K/UHD Blu-ray in a limited and high-quality Steelbook with 2 discs including bonus material for 32.99 euros from Amazon *. The previous standard edition is slightly cheaper for 23.81 euros *.
Batman & Robin: Worth seeing despite criticism
Before Pattinson, Affleck and Bale, George Clooney last embodied the popular bat in the 90s and was in villains and Supported companions in star cast.
But that alone couldn’t save Batman & Robin by Joel Schumacher at the time: Whether it’s Clooney as a miscast, bad puns or nipples on the Batsuit – the controversial strip has already been voted the worst film of all time. Even in the Moviepilot ranking of the Batman films, it was only enough for a lower place.
Meanwhile, the film is doing pretty well in reviews on Amazon*, averaging 4.2 out of 5 stars across over 1,400 reviews, underscoring its iconic character and contemporary take on the comic book adaptation. Ultimately, Batman & Robin is one of the 5 DC films that you should have seen despite everything, because the exploitation of the franchise has something to do with a lot of enjoyment due to its full and exaggerated fervor.

New Batman fodder is coming
While the new appearance of Robin in The Brave and the Bold is only planned for 2027, the franchise will next be provided with a new series about the villain Penguin. The next main film with Robert Pattinson in the form of The Batman 2 is still a long way off. Rather, next year continues with Batman’s eternal nemesis, the Joker.
