A stunning ensemble cast — George Clooney, Chris O’Donnell, Alicia Silverstone, Uma Thurman, Arnold Schwarzenegger — star in easily the most maligned film in the Caped Crusader canon. While it was frequently knocked for its preposterous dialogue and gleefully feeble plotting, Janet Maslin praised it as “a wild, campy costume party of a movie and the first Batman to suggest that somewhere in Gotham City there might be a Studio 54.” Today, Joel Schumacher’s phantasmagoria of dry ice and molded latex provides a joyful corrective to the dour authoritarianism of Nolan-Snyder.
The 8:15PM screening will be introduced by artist and writer Ayanna Dozier. Read her Screen Slate piece on the queerness of Joel Schumacher’s Batman films here.
Dir. Joel Schumacher, USA, 1997, 125 min.
