When comparing work on ''Batman Forever'', O'Donnell explained that "things felt much sharper and more focused, and it just felt like everything got a little softer on the second one. The first one, I felt like I was making a movie. The second one, I felt like I was making a toy commercial."<ref name="shadow" /> He also complained about the Robin costume, saying that it was more involved and less comfortable than the one that he wore in ''Batman Forever'', with a glued-on mask that caused sweat to pool on his face.<ref name="WizBox">{{cite news|last=Allstetter|first=Rob|date=August 1997|title=The Bat-Box|work=[[Wizard (magazine)|Wizard]]|issue=72|page=120}}</ref> According to [[John Glover (actor)|John Glover]], who played Dr. Jason Woodrue, "Joel [Schumacher] would sit on a crane with a megaphone and yell before each take, 'Remember, everyone, this is a cartoon'. It was hard to act because that kind of set the tone for the film."<ref name="shadow" /> Several different stunt doubles were used for the roles of Batman, Robin, and Mr. Freeze, some specialized in ice skating, aerial gymnastics, and driving.<ref name="20years" />

The film was shot at [[Warner Bros. Studios Burbank|Warner Bros.
