Joel Schumacher's Batman & Robin gets shit on a lot, and deservedly so, but for my money the brief scene where Arnold Schwarzenegger's Mr. Freeze is talking to his comatose wife adds a lot of gravity. I personally think that Arnold acts this scene very well, and I wished they could have focused a little more on this plot point. This not only makes the character a little more sympathetic, as it informs his action throughout the rest of the film, but in addition to Danny DeVito's Penguin from Batman Returns, this helped lay the groundwork for sympathetic villain characters in comic book films to come.It feels strange that we owe so much of our modern culture to one of the biggest bombs of all time, but as a fan of bad films, I also think it's kind of sweet. via /r/movies http://bit.ly/2Zn274Z
