George Clooney blames Joel Schumacher for the failure of "Batman and Robin".
At a recent party, George Clooney blamed Joel Schumacher, who directed "Batman and Robin", for the failure of the previous Batman movie. "I could have been dark and mysterious..." he said. "It was Joel's idea to put on the nipples...he told me I was doing a musical."

George Clooney isn't a bad actor. I think someone of his caliber could've pulled it off. It was just bad directing and script.

I think Clooney is an ok actor, but one thing was he was to old for the role. Another thing was the plot line sucked. Also he had never done a role like that before.
All those things together made it bad. So it was just not him alone. Although I must say he did suck as batman.

I'm gonna bet that the whole post is complete BS. Are you playing a sarcastic joke on us? Let's see some sources on that one...
Either that, or Clooney was drunk.

No, it really isn't bull$hit. I saw the report on Entertainment Tonight. Clooney was getting an award for something. He may have been drunk...

I think JS is more responsible than GC for the failure. The actors might not have been well-cast, but they've all been at least competant in other movies. When an entire cast of competant actors suddenly puts out something like B&R, than the director's almost certainly to blame.

Yes the Plot of the movie was terrible. Batman & Robin was a total let down.

Yes, he was horrible as Batman in the movie. But given his acting experience in ER and Ocean's Eleven, I can't help thinking he could've adapted if he knew or cared about how Batman really should be like. He just had to stop looking like a sweater-wearing cuddly Dad and put some scowl to that ever-smiling face. Maybe somebody should've kicked him between the legs...tha'd piss off anyone.

Let's see...all things wrong with Batman & Robin:
1. Joel Schumacher
2. Bat-nipples!!
3. Script
4. Glow in the dark florescent Gotham city
5. Batgirl
6. Batgirl being Alfred's neice WTF!?
7. Bane being a throw away wimp on steriods (granted he is on the venom stuff, but he is hardly a throw away dumb wimp)
8. The music score (why didn't they just stick with Elfman's?)
9. Joel Schumacher (he gets 2 spots!!)
10. EVERYTHING!!
Yep,,that pretty much covers it.
