Batman and Robin

This movie represents the fourth installment in the long line of Batman movies to appear in the 1990s. Batman and Robin has recently gained notoriety as being the worst movie of all time, but I believe that the movie was better than Batman Returns and Batman Forever. This movie is full of information technology:

-Batman communicates with Commissioner Gordon in his Batmobile during the beginning of the movie through a video of Commissioner Gordon being shown above the steering wheel.
-Batman communicates with Robin via a wireless when chasing Mr. Freeze in the beginning of the movie and shuts down Robin's motorcycle remotely
-Batgirl majored in Computer Science at Oxford University before dropping out.
-Alfred is seen using a computer to track down his brother Wilfred and give him an encrypted CD that gives all of the information about Batman and Robin. Batgirl is able to crack the encryption through using the password of Peg, which was Alfred's sister. The GUI interface was a Mac OS interface proving that George Clooney's Batman was a Mac.
-Robin uses the Batcomputer to learn more information about Poison Ivy and find out what Batgirl has been up to using the surveillance equipment.
-Alfred serves as the Digital Assistant in Batcomputer and has his brain algorithms programmed into the computer. Alfred has adjusted his digital presence in anticipation of Batgirl's entrance into the Batcave.
-To unfreeze Gotham, Batman, Robin, and Batgirl must retarget the satellites through entering computer commands. Initially, Batman successfully accomplishes this, but then Batgirl finishes the job even when the computer does not seem to be working properly.
-To show that he did not kill Nora Freeze, Batman shows a video recording of Poison Ivy's confession of the murder using a device on his utility belt.
- The Gotham City Police are not depicted using any information technology whatsoever.
- Robin, Batgirl, and Alfred are more capable with information technology than Batman.
