batman and robin It was a movie that almost everyone wants to forget. Almost everyone, but not one of its main protagonists, the Austrian muscle Arnold Schwarzenegger. After Tim Burton went from gothic and sinister with Batman ReturnsWarner Bros. decided that the franchise had to be much more children’s and family-friendly.

This change led to Batman Forever and, above all, in batman and robin. A film that, despite having a spectacular cast headed by George Clooneyis not well considered. Something logical, considering that its quality as a superhero film left a lot to be desired. For many fans, it was the Bat’s lowest cinematic moment.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a complete collector

But one thing is the opinion that experts and viewers have of Batman and Robin, and a very different one is preserved by those who participated in it. At least, good old Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was in the best moment of his career. At that time (mid-90s), he was one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood.

In fact, Warner Bros. made a considerable effort to have the actor be part of the film, playing one of the main villains of the film, Mr. Freeze.

Nothing more and nothing less than the costume he used during production.. The problem? That companies are quite reluctant to release this type of material, perhaps with a view to possible future deliveries.

Finally, Arnold Schwarzenegger and the production company reached an agreement: they would give him the picturesque suit, but within an agreement, so to speak. The interpreter would have to pay an amount in exchange for taking home the souvenir. Luckily, it wasn’t too much: un dollar for each year you continued with it. A figure that everything seems to indicate that he could pay without great efforts.

A very well paid villain
