The first Batman is great, athought the plot around the Joker is a bit silly, with all those balloons and poisoned cosmetics. It has the perfect dark, sinister feeling only Burton could deliver. The second one gets even sillier, I mean, how did the Penguin accomplished to create those robot-penguin things?

And then... Joel Schumacker was hired, and everything became a blur. Jim Carrey in a Batman flick. Val Kilmer. George Clooney. And then there's Batman & Robin, which is probably one of the worst movies ever. It's not even a bad Batman movie, it's a bad MOVIE. Bad, bad, stinky, MST3K-like bad movie.
