Batman & Robin

Mr. Freeze (Arnold) and Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman) end up cellmates atArkam Asylum after Batman (George Clooney), Robin (Chris O' Donnell) and BatGirl (Alicia Silverstone) foil a plan to encase Gotham City in Ice by using the new Gotham Observatory telescope to beam a freeze ray everywhere. Bane (Jeep Swenson) is destroyed when BatGirl and Robin pull the hoses feeding the mutant juice from his head and Bane shrinks back down to a wimp. After the telescope is destroyed in a tremendous battle with lots of lights and pyrotechnics, BatGirl manages to reprogram a bunch of orbiting satellites to reflect sunlight directly onto the city. Gotham thaws instantaneously. In the midst of all of this chaos, Alfred (Michael Gough) is dying of MacGregor's syndrome, the same disease, only less advanced, that Mr. Freeze's cryogenically-frozen wife was dying from! Batman allows Mr. Freeze to live, because Mr. Freeze has the cure for Stage 1 of MacGregor's Syndrome, which Alfred has. Mr. Freeze is allowed to continue his work on a cure for the later stages of the disease from prison! A petty squabble between Batman and Robin over Poison Ivy is the film's attempt at dramatic tension.
Thanks, Evil Ed!
