In the first major action sequence, Dick's insistence on going after Mr. Freeze led to him getting frozen and Batman having to choose between going after Freeze or thawing Robin. Dick receives an ass-chewing from Bruce afterward, and the conflict between the two continues for the good part of the movie. Later on, [[spoiler:when he confronts Poison Ivy in her lair, he tricks her into telling him her plan by pretending to still be in love with her, and survives her kiss by wearing rubber lips.

He easily dismisses the flirtations of one of his henchwomen, and he's the only man who is not visibly affected by Ivy's pheromone dust, much to [[GreenEyedMonster Ivy's anger]].

Views Nora as a threat, even in her suspended state. Upon finding out that she nearly killed Nora out of jealousy, Freeze vows to make her life a living hell.
** Ivy herself also serves as a foil to the character’s previous civilian identity, Dr. Pamela Isley. In contrast to Ivy’s highly sexualized beauty and interest in men (at least as tools to get what she wants), Isley had something of a homely appearance and no romantic aspirations. While both were extremely dedicated to the plant world, Isley was a passionate scientist trying to prevent extinction, while Ivy used living plants for evil purposes.
** In his pre-villian life, Dr. Victor Fries placed his wife Nora into cryogenic hibernation to prevent her from succumbing to a fatal disease. While her backstory is not revealed in much detail, she was clearly the love of his life. Even in her current state he accords her a sense of reverence and is determined to find a cure.
** His partner in crime, Poison Ivy, is very much the opposite; a scheming woman who uses her sexuality - among other things - to ensnare men to do her bidding. Views Nora as a threat, even in her suspended state. Upon finding out that she nearly killed Nora out of jealousy, Freeze vows to make her life a living hell.

* MagicalSecurityCamera: Mr. Freeze apparently had hidden cameras set up all over the place so he could watch footage of him giving his wife a snowflake necklace'. In another instance, Batman shows Mr. Freeze a recording of Poison Ivy stating that she (not Batman as she'd previously told Freeze) unplugged his wife's cryotube. It's a replay of the clip from the movie, with no sign that Batman's vantage point at that moment was up near the ceiling. The same recap also mentioned how the security camera at Fries's lab apparently follows the good doctor and zooms in at all the right moments, such as when he plunges into that milky liquid that turns him from Fries into Freeze.

* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: Robin reveals he managed to [[OutGambitted outsmart Poison Ivy]] by pretending to be in love with her until she reveals her true colors to him. Tricking her into revealing her plan to him and managing to steal a kiss from her by covering his lips with a rubber, thus being the only character in the film to survive an onscreen kiss with her. Shortly after he makes this reveal though, Poison Ivy simply shoves him into her pond where her plants try to drown him before he can even attempt to do anything else and she walks off while mockingly waving him goodbye, incapacitating him for the rest of the scene. To add further insult to injury, she makes sure she has the last laugh in their "relationship" by taunting Robin "See ya!" as she struts past him, rubbing it in that she's "breaking up with him".
** Immediately afterwards, Batman intercepts Poison Ivy as she tries to leave, revealing that he followed Robin to her lair and that they set their own trap for her, which she walked right into and getting her to gasp in shock at seeing him. However, as soon as Batman reveals himself, Poison Ivy immediately overcomes her shock and has her plants restrain and begin crushing Batman, with his ambush on her completely failing.

Any time he tries to do something useful -- be it catching Batgirl from falling off the telescope platform, [[AchillesPowerCord going for Bane's weak point]] after figuring it out, and hacking the satellite systems to redirect the mirrors -- Batgirl beats him to it every single time, leaving him with [[SoLastSeason barely any contribution to make]].
