Trivia Edited

There was an incorrect blurb in the trivia line about how Arkham Asylum was named after the asylum created by H.P. Lovecraft. This is wrong and I removed it.

Arkham Asylum's name was inspired by the town of Arkham, Massachussets which H.P. Lovecraft used as settings for some of his stories.

Removed plug

Should there be that plug for Ain't It Cool News...how is it relevant?

I also removed the shameless plug for AiCN. As previously mentioned, it had no place in the paragraph.

Move

Should this article be moved to Batman & Robin (1997 film)? This (Oranges & Lemons it was the only ampersanded page I could find...) page seems to work for me. Calicore 05:04, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Agreed: National Center for Missing & Exploited Children becomes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Center_for_Missing_%26_Exploited_Children which works just fine. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 15:33, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Dr Jason Woodrue

Should the casting of John Glover as him be mentioned with the other main cast members? BlackMask 10:19, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

No. He wasn't a main cast member. Cribcage 02:53, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I know this movie sucked but...

That's no excuse for the POV throughout the article, such as describing Mr. Freeze's performance as "campy". 199.126.137.209 07:24, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Plot

I have attempted to write a plot summary. I haven't seen the film in a while, however, and I don't intend to soon. The following was what I started, and I hope that someone who remembers more of the plot can help complete it --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 16:29, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Attempted summary

{{spoiler}} At the beginning of the film, the villian Mr. Freeze is introduced, a man in an powered armored suit with a large gun capeable of freezing anything he fires upon. When Batman and Robin are called, he is in the process of robbing a museum to steal a large diamond. The robbery is disrupted, but Freeze ecapes with the gem. It is subsequently revealed that this is all part of a plan to construct a giant verison of his freeze gun, with which he intends to blackmail the city to gain the funds he needs to save is terminally ill wife Nora, whom he has kept in cyrogenic stasis. After this failure, the second villian is introduced in the form of Pamela Isley, a researcher who is mutated into a bizzare "plant-woman" with the ability to control plant life, emit sexually arousing pheromones, and give a toxic kiss. She destroyes her research facility, kills another scientist who had tried to kill her, and escapes with the steroid-pumped convict and test subject Bane, intent on protecting plant life from humanity by any means.

Information on Batman 5 edited

Though it is a common misconception, the title of Batman 5 was never going to be Batman Triumphant (it was actually going to the be the title of Batman and Robin). I have correctly modified it to Batman: Darkknight. I further added a glimpse at an early logo designed while the film was in the early stages of pre-production.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.138.89.235 (talk • contribs)

I've changed it back. Not because I disbelieve you, but because it must be supported by reliable sources. Currently all the sources we have say Triumphant, and none say Dark Knight. If you can provide some evidence of the real title, that'd be great. --Nalvage 23:41, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay. I've found sources.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.138.89.235 (talk • contribs)

Excellent. I've added a link to an interview with Lee Shapiro. Do you know where that production art comes from? --Nalvage 01:43, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Note: Links go after punctuation. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 03:08, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Michael Keating???

Some idiot put the person who plays Batman in this as Michael Keating. I changed it to George Clooney as it should be. The funny thing is is that Michael Keating has never played Batman so I don't even know what they are going on about... Debaser23 13:25, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Maybe he/she meant Michael Keaton

Synopsis

Someome add a synopsis, please! -- Annie D 09:45, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

There is still no plot summary.

There is still no plot summary. I tried to write one but someone deleted it.

Why isnt there a plot?TheManWhoLaughs 19:15, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Video Game?

Should there be a mention of the video game based on this film.

Deleted Scenes

Does anyone have a source that they can cite for the deleted scenes? I'm fairly confident in that Batman and Robin weren't supposed to be gay.

Synopsis Rewrite

Hey everyone. I'm making major rewrites to the Synopsis. It sounds like it was written by a 12 year old with remedial knowledge of both the film and the English language. However, I'm out of time for tonight, as I have to go to bed early. If it's at all possible, please do not change any of what I've done, I will finish tomorrow. Thanks! NiGHTS into Dreams... (talk) 03:03, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

the 'film plot' as written is not a plot as much as a scene by scene, spoiler included rambling piece. i wrote one, much simpler and leaving out useless information, however somone deleted it. thanks, -Mytencense —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mytencense (talk • contribs) 05:13, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
