The lowest-grossing live-action Batman film, "Batman & Robin" nearly killed the run of movies featuring the Dark Knight until Christopher Nolan's successful franchise.

The film was blamed for focusing too much on "toyetics," the practice of inserting items into the movie to be turned into toys and other merchandise. Director Joel Schumacher discussed this in the film's commentary.
