Travel back in time with me to the year 1997, where George Clooney embarked on a mind tripping multiversal adventure in the role of Batman before it was cool! I’m talking, of course, about '''''Batman And The Planet Of 1000 Robins'''''…

== Robin: Lost In Space ==

The 90s were a crazy time for Batman. Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher had elevated the character to new cinematic heights, Burton emphasising the gothic, and Schumacher emphasising the… uh… [[Schumacherness]]? However, after Batman Forever, Schumacher wanted to up his ambitions and explore the cosmic side of the hero, and thus, '''''[[Batman And The Planet Of 1000 Robins]]''''' was born…

The film follows Clooney’s debut as Batman (of course he went on from this to become synonymous with the character, spawning a 15 film franchise made up of classics like ''[[Batman And The Runaway Joker]]'', ''[[Batman: The Dark Fright]]'', and ''[[Batman: All Frozen Over)]]'', as he investigates the disappearance of his sidekick Robin, played with an entertaining charm by a teenage Joseph Gordon Levitt.

Robin was investigating a disturbance on the Bat-Satellite, [[Batimus Maximus]], when a temporal disturbance leaves him misplaced. Batman tracks him to the planet R-97, where he finds something far crazier than he ever could ever have imagined: the planet of 1000 Robins.

[[File:Batman And The Planet Of 1000 Robins (just Robins).jpg|thumb|link=Batman And The Planet Of 1000 Robins|'''''[[Batman And The Planet Of 1000 Robins]]''''' is a 2023 surrealist superhero film.]]The film essentially took the route of multiversal appeal long before Marvel movies made it cool. Batman meets a variety of entertaining Robins played by a wild variety of actors. He meets an aged Robin who was a former movie star, played by Burt Reynolds, a charismatic yet slightly dangerous Jason Todd played by Heath Ledger, and a hair dyed Carrie Kelly played by Cate Blanchett.

This star-studded cast has given the film a much beloved appeal in the future, as at the time, where superhero movies were still rather frowned upon, it wasn’t particularly well received by critics. However, this critic, and many other modern viewers, love it for what it was: a crazy, cosmic journey through the 90s. Plus, it gave us the cinematic debut of the blue and grey bat suit, and who doesn’t love that?

Ultimately, the movie carries the sensibilities and style of 90s comics with a 90s filmmaking approach, and in my ever humble opinion, that made it something worth writing about. So, what are you waiting for? Give it a watch… if you have access to the Gnomon [[multiversal archive]] that is…
