Answer: Batman robin

Bat + man + robbing/robber = Batman & Robin

But this film had more of a comic book feel than other "Batman" films, and critics in general labeled it a flop, with particular disdain of its highly-chiseled costumes. Director Joel Schumacher even issued an apology for the movie, as did Clooney. Later the "Batman" franchise was rebooted, with Christian Bale starring as Batman, and those fared better with critics.
