Development for Batman & Robin started immediately after Batman Forever, and Warner Bros. commissioned the film for an adamant June 1997 release. Principal photography began in September 1996 and finished in January 1997, two weeks ahead of the shooting schedule. Batman & Robin was released on June 20, 1997, and was critically panned.

Plot

The film begins with Batman (George Clooney) and Robin (Chris O'Donnell) stopping Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger) from a robbery attempt, but he escapes. In South America, Pamela Isley (Uma Thurman) is working under Dr. Jason Woodrue (John Glover), experimenting with the Venom drug. She witnesses Woodrue use the formula to turn a diminutive convict into a hulking monstrosity dubbed "Bane" (Jeep Swenson). Woodrue and Isley argue over the use of the drug and Woodrue kills her by overturning a shelf of various toxins onto her, which burn a hole in the floor and causes Dr. Isley to sink into the ground. She transforms into the beautiful and seductive Poison Ivy before killing Woodrue with a poison kiss. She finds that Wayne Enterprises funded Woodrue, thus she takes Bane with her to Gotham City. Meanwhile, Alfred Pennyworth's (Michael Gough) niece, Barbara Wilson (Alicia Silverstone), makes a surprise visit and is invited by Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson to stay at Wayne Manor until she goes back to school. Alfred the Butler is in the early stages of a disease called MacGregor's Syndrome, which will eventually kill him. He records a message for his brother who is also a butler to take over from Alfred as the butler to Wayne.

At Mr. Freeze's hideout, he is plotting his next move about how to deal with Batman and Robin. He's also attempting to develop a cure for his wife, who also has MacGregor's Syndrome. She is kept alive through cryogenic freezing until Mr. Freeze can cure her.

Wayne Enterprises presents a new telescope at a press conference interrupted by Isley. She proposes a project that could help the environment, but Bruce declines her offer, as it would kill millions of people. That night, a charity event is held by Wayne Enterprises with special guests, Batman and Robin, and Poison Ivy decides to use her abilities to seduce them. Freeze crashes the party and steals a diamond from the event. However, he is captured and sent to a chamber prison in Arkham Asylum, but escapes with the help of Ivy and Bane. Batman and Robin begin to argue because Ivy's seductive ability.

Poison Ivy decides to ally with Mr. Freeze so that her plan to kill off humanity can be done. After hearing about Mr. Freeze's frozen wife, she disables the power supply to her cryogenic chamber, and blames Batman for it. This galvanizes Mr. Freeze into taking the new telescope and attaching his Freeze Ray to it, which will freeze the earth and wipe out humanity.

Meanwhile, tensions are rising between Batman and Robin. Robin believes that Batman is holding him back, particularly in the way that he is urging him to not pursue Ivy, and demands that he have his own Bat-Signal. Dick also finds out that Barbara has dropped out of college, and has been sneaking out with his motorcycle to participate in late-night races. After rescuing her from a particularly violent race, Barbara tells Dick about Alfred's condition, which he had been keeping secret. Following this, Barbara tries to access a password-protected computer disk that was meant for Alfred's brother, and discovers that Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson are Batman and Robin, respectively. She soon finds the Batcave, where a computer simulation of Alfred informs her that he knew that she would eventually find out this secret, and has provided her with her own bat suit. She takes on the persona of Batgirl.

Soon, Poison Ivy builds a "Robin Signal" with the intent of luring Robin into a trap and seducing him. Robin is taken into Poison Ivy's lair and she gives him a poison kiss, but Robin is able to survive the kiss, thanks to a latex guard on his lips. Soon after this, Batman breaks into Poison Ivy's lair, but he and Robin are quickly restrained by Ivy's vines. However, Batgirl soon enters the fray, and she and Ivy fight until Ivy is knocked into a man-eating flower and is knocked out, freeing Batman and Robin.

Batman, Robin and Batgirl decide to go after Freeze together. By the time they get to the telescope where Freeze and Bane are, Gotham is completely frozen. Robin and Batgirl confront Bane and defeat him by disconnecting his venom hose, while Batman and Freeze begin to fight each other, with Batman winning in a cliffhanger battle; Freeze tries to kill Batman by destroying the telescope platform but only succeeds in crushing Bane. Batgirl and Robin unfreeze Gotham and Batman shows Freeze a recording of Ivy during her fight with Batgirl, where she boasts that she had killed Freeze's wife. Freeze is angered by the betrayal and is informed by Batman that his wife is not dead; she is restored in cryogenic slumber and has been moved to Arkham, waiting for him to finish his research. Batman proceeds to ask Freeze for the cure he has created for the first stage of MacGregor's Syndrome, which Alfred has not progressed out of yet. Freeze atones for his crimes by giving him the medicine he had developed.

An insane Ivy is shown imprisoned in Arkham's cold beam plucking the pedals of a flower deciding whether Freeze loves her or loves her not. Freeze walks in and announces "Not!" and that he is her cellmate, swearing to make her life a living hell of winter in revenge for trying to kill his wife. Alfred is cured, and Bruce and Dick agree to let Barbara join their team as Batgirl.
