Taking a quick break from figures to look at the one and only board game for the Batman & Robin movie. Unlike the previous three movies, this wasn't based around the plot of the movie but rather a licensed version of Monopoly - the classic property building game. So your enjoyment is entirely dependent on how fun you find that game.
On the plus side, there's some cool metal counters featuring the Batmobile, Redbird cycle, Bathammer and symbols of the various heroes and villains. I also really enjoyed the cards which had some funny bits like "Batmobile needs repairs. Pay $75".
But the movie is a ill fit for the games. There aren't really many locations to fill all the spaces so you end up having locations like "Alfred's Pantry"... which you then end up building multiple houses on!
And the whole Batman-ness of it is very thin - it mostly uses just stock portraits of all the actors. I would have preferred more shots of the locations - maybe using the excellent concept art.
Oh well, still a bit of fun to bring out every now and then.
