Query: When marketing met special effects.......

This one was putrid, okay? There was no attempt to find good actors, to write a decent plot, or to do anything but squeeze more characters in that could be turned into action figures for sale. Clooney was an unimpressive Batman, Robin came off as a vinidctive li'l brat, and the "villians" were plodding and sophomoric. It is so bad that I seriously wonder why anyone would give it more than a 1. When will Hollywood learn that special effects and potty humor can never replace a good story well told? My cat could have made a better movie.
