Batman & Robin is the best Batman game in years and far better than the '97 Joel Schumacher film it was based on, but neither of those things really amounts to too much.
-the graphics in Batman & Robin are pretty impressive. The city is visually rich and quite varied. There are many unique locations and not too many repeating store- and building-fronts between them, which combine to make you feel like you're really within a massive 3D environment. The characters also appear much better than you'd expect in such a large game, and Batman's cape just looks great. The only real graphical disappointment is the placeholder-looking confetti burst that accompanies the dispatching of foes and objects.
