Batman & Robin was released in 1997, 5 years after Tim Burton's critically acclaimed Batman Returns. The movie, starring George Clooney as the Dark Knight, was a complete polar opposite of what Burton had set out to do less than a decade earlier with 1989's Batman.
Joel Schumacher embraced the campiness and toyetic nature of the Caped Crusader's world. The result was a movie that's still widely considered one of the worst comic book adaptations ever (it was a commercial success but ended its box office run behind the similarly bonkers Batman Forever).
Today, two more Batman & Robin toys have been revealed but these incredibly lifelike efforts come our way from Hot Toys. Love or hate the movie - perhaps it was your first time seeing the Dark Knight on screen as a kid - you can't deny how impressive these 1/6th scale figures are.
Not only are the likenesses of George Clooney and Chris O'Donnell absolutely phenomenal, but the Batman figure is an immediate must-have thanks to the inclusion of the Bat-Credit Card. That's one of the best accessories we've ever seen produced by Hot Toys.
