At the start of this commentary Joel Schumacher talk about a new word he learnt on this film. Toyetic. All the studio was concerned about was to have enough characters and gadgets to make merchandise. It really shows too, the whole film is like a big commercial made for kids under 10.

This film has more in common with the tone of the Adam West series than the newer films. Arnold Schwarzenegger has to have his horribly hilarious puns in every line. And Uma Thurman is even more over the top. I didn't remember just how cartoonish she plays this.

The way Schumacher talks about this, it sounds like he knew it was just a cash in and so just decided to have fun with it. I think they had more fun on set than the audience does watching it.
