Who Played Me in "Batman & Robin"? Quiz

Answer: George Clooney

Clooney, born on May 6th, 1961 in Lexington, Kentucky was cast as Bruce Wayne and his alter ego, Batman. In Batman's first scene, he and Robin responded to a call about how a guy named Mr. Freeze broke in and robbed a museum. They nearly got Mr. Freeze but he used his freeze gun to freeze Robin. Batman dipped Robin's frozen body, in water, and used a device to heat up the water, melt the ice and save Robin. Throughout the film, Batman and Robin fought over Poison Ivy, primarily due to how Robin thought Batman was jealous that Poison Ivy liked him. Batman reminded him that he worked under him and, if he wanted to survive, he would abide by his rules.

It was believed that Batman nearly killed Mr. Freeze's wife but he revealed, to Mr. Freeze, that Poison Ivy was the one behind her near death. Clooney starred in the films, "From Dusk 'til Dawn", "Syriana", and "Michael Clayton."

Answer: Uma Thurman

Thurman, a native of Boston, Massachusetts landed the role of Dr. Pamela Isley and her alter ego, Poison Ivy. Dr. Isley worked in a research lab, in South America, and one of her co-workers nearly killed her when he shoved many dangerous chemicals on her.

In the next scene, Dr. Isley reappeared and told Jason that her new body filled her lips with venom but she told him this after she killed him. Jason immediately died and Dr. Isley, known as Poison Ivy, made her way to Gotham City. In Gotham City, Poison Ivy dressed up as Dr. Isley and told Bruce Wayne that his plan, to improve the city's energy supply, would kill plants. Bruce assured her that this plan was vital for everyone's well being and Dr. Isley told him she disagreed with him. Throughout the film, Poison Ivy used dust to get people under her spell, to make it easier for her to kill them. On a couple of occasions, Batman resisted the dust since he knew Poison Ivy was up to no good. Near the end of the movie, Poison Ivy had Batman and Robin trapped, but Batgirl crashed through the ceiling and fought with her. Batgirl won the fight, since Poison Ivy got trapped.

The police caught her and she was sent to Arkham Asylum. Thurman had roles in the films, "Mad Dog and Glory", "Beautiful Girls", and "Be Cool". In 1995, she received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for the film, "Pulp Fiction", but she lost to Dianne West for "Bullets over Broadway". Other Oscar nominees for Best Supporting Actress that year were Jennifer Tilly for "Bullets over Broadway", Helen Mirren for "The Madness of King George", and Rosemary Harris for "Tom & Viv".

Answer: Arnold Schwarzenegger

Schwarzenegger, born in 1947 in Austria, portrayed Dr. Victor Fries and his alter ego, Mr. Freeze. In Mr. Freeze's first scene, he robbed a museum, along with his co-horts. He told a police officer that he would not give him mercy and he used his freeze gun to freeze him to death. Batman and Robin came but he foiled their attempts to catch him and he got away.

In an immediate scene, Bruce Wayne showed Dick Grayson (Robin) footage of Mr. Freeze when he was Dr. Victor Fries. In the footage, it showed Dr. Fries as he fell in a vat of very cold water and this led him to become Mr. Freeze who could only exist in cold temperatures. Mr. Freeze revealed that he was looking for a cure for his wife, who had become seriously ill.

In one scene, he promised his wife that they would be together.

In the meantime, he also plotted to put Gotham City and the entire world on ice. Near the very end of the film, Mr. Freeze gave Batman some medicine that would help save Alfred's life. Schwarzenegger portrayed characters in the movies, "Eraser", "True Lies", and "Commando".

Answer: Alicia Silverstone

Silverstone got the part of Barbara Wilson and her alter ago, Batgirl. Barbara arrived, at Wayne Manor, and asked for Alfred Pennyworth. She saw Alfred and ran to him and called him, Uncle Alfred. In Barbara's next scene, she went to Alfred's bedroom and told him she was there to tuck him in and they discussed her mom. Barbara liked to ride motorcycles and, on one occasion, she took her motorcycle out and entered into a racing contest.

In the contest, she fell off her bike and almost slipped, over an edge, but Dick Grayson saved her, since he was also in the contest. Barbara entered the Batcave, one day, and told Uncle Alfred she wanted to help Batman and Robin and to suit her up as Batgirl. Barbara donned the Batgirl costume and went off to help both Batman and Robin.

When all three of them defeated Mr. Freeze, they realized that Gotham City had been partially frozen. Batman said that it would take a computer whiz to try and get ultraviolet rays to shine down, on Gotham City (this was at night), and unfreeze the city. Batgirl went to work, on the computer, and managed to get the city unfrozen. Silverstone guest starred on the TV series', "The Singles Table", "Rebel Highway", and "The Wonder Years".

Answer: Chris O'Donnell

O'Donnell, born on June 26th, 1970 in Winnetka, Illinois reprised his role of Dick Grayson and his alter ego, Robin. He has previously portrayed the character in the film, "Batman Forever". Robin nearly died, at the beginning of the film, when Mr. Freeze froze him but Batman saved him.

In the middle of the movie, Poison Ivy used dust, to endear herself to Robin, and it worked since he started to become infatuated with her. In one scene, Poison Ivy told Robin to meet her, at a certain place on a certain date and certain time, so they could be together.

When they met, Poison Ivy told Robin that Mr. Freeze planned to freeze Gotham City and he told he had to go stop him. Poison Ivy asked Robin if she could kiss him for luck. Robin kissed Poison Ivy and showed her he wore rubber lips so her kiss would not kill him. Poison Ivy shoved him, into a pool, and Robin got entangled by vines.

However, he made it out alive and helped Batman and Batgirl save Gotham City from being permanently put on ice. O'Donnell had guest starring stints on the TV shows, "Grey's Anatomy", "Two and a Half Men", and "Head Cases".

Mr. Freeze then spoke to Ms. B Haven about his plans for Gotham City and she remarked, "Talk about your cold shoulder." Mr. Freeze called for Frosty and asked him for a favor.

Answer: Vendela K. Thommessen

Thommessen, born on January 12th, 1967 in Stockholm, Sweden had the small role of Nora Fries. Nora was Dr. Victor Fries' wife who became ill and there was no known cure for her. When Dr. Fries became Mr. Freeze, he pledged to Nora that he would fine a cure, so that they could be together again. Later on, Poison Ivy went to where Nora was located (a glass box filled with water) and pulled the plug on her.

The plug was reinserted but this scene was not shown. Poison Ivy told Mr. Freeze that Batman pulled the plug and nearly caused her to die, so he vowed to get revenge on Batman.

While Poison Ivy fought with Batgirl, she admitted that she, not Batman, pulled the plug on Nora Fries and Batman secretly recorded this. He showed the recording, to Mr. Freeze and Mr. Freeze became upset and irate that Poison Ivy had lied to him.

It was never addressed, in "Batman & Robin", whether a cure was found for Nora Fries. The character of Nora Fries had no dialogue in the film. Thommessen guest starred on the TV shows, "Piazza Navona", "Blossom", and "Muppets Tonight".
