Arnold Schwarzenegger And Uma Thurman Have A ‘Freeze And Ivy’ Reunion More Than Two Decades After Batman & Robin; See HERE

by

As a child of the ’90s, the reunion of Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze and Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy has sent waves of pure, unadulterated joy coursing through my veins! Growing up, these two were the epitome of coolness for me, their characters embodying a level of villainy that was both menacing and intriguing.

Spoiler Alert: Mr. Freeze And Poison Ivy have teamed up after a 27-year hiatus. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Uma Thurman who played these famous characters in the 1997 Batman & Robin movie have shared a reunion selfie on social media sending waves of nostalgia among fans.

Arnold Schwarzenegger shared a photo on Instagram last Saturday, subtly suggesting that Batman should watch his back since the evil team is active again, according to his caption. This sparked enthusiasm among fans who began reminiscing about the old times associated with the movie. One fan playfully challenged George Clooney to respond within 24 hours, while another quoted some memorable lines from Mr. Freeze and expressed their admiration for the throwback.

The Terminator star goofily captioned the post, “Freeze and Ivy, reunited. Watch out, Batman.”

The film titled “Batman & Robin” was the final installment and the fourth movie in the initial Batman series created by Warner Bros. This production was helmed by director Joel Schumacher. The film grossed approximately 238 million USD globally at the box office. George Clooney played Bruce Wayne/Batman, succeeding Val Kilmer in this role. The movie also introduced Arnold Schwarzenegger as the villain Victor Fries, better known as Mr. Freeze, Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy, Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl, and Chris O’Donnell reprising his role as Dick Grayson/Robin.

Although the old-school Batman & Robin tale garnered quite a bit of excitement, it failed to impress critics upon its release. The movie earned mostly negative reviews, which explains its low rating of just 12% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Critics heavily criticized the movie as being overly comedic, forcing humor at the expense of depth. They perceived it as excessively whimsical. Despite this lukewarm response, which ultimately halted Warner Bros.’ plans for more Batman movies, its daring and memorable performances carved out a unique place in the annals of superhero film history.

George Clooney has openly expressed his dislike for this particular movie and admitted that he was hesitant to let his wife Amal see it because he feared her opinion of him afterwards. However, over the years, the film has gained a reputation for being campy and endearing, especially the acting performances by Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze and Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy.
