26 years later, is George Clooney's Batman & Robin really the disaster it was called at the time? Is it time to reassess Joel Schumacher's misfire?
Batman & Robin is the most hated Batman movie ever, but does it actually deserve the continued venom? Does George Clooney's Dark Knight deserve his label as the worst live-action Batman? Three decades after the Bat nipples debacle, there could be temptation for a revisionist reassessment of Joel Schumacher's alleged $160m bomb, but there's something to be said for reviewing Batman & Robin in a light that is all-too-rarely considered.
Clooney's Hated Batsuit Is Actually Perfect For Schumacher's Idea Of Gotham City For all the criticism, George Clooney's Batman isn't completely irredeemable. His Batsuit may be more ostentatious than Burton's designs , but the very idea of a Batsuit is fabulous. Putting aside, for a second, the idea of a vigilante who operates from the shadows, a superhero renowned as Gotham's protector should be a force of nature, and absolutely should make an entrance.
George Clooney Was A Great Bruce Wayne Choice In Batman & Robin, George Clooney plays Bruce Wayne much like the cliché of the TV hearth-throb . Sure, there was a cock-sure bravado about his Dr. Doug Ross; he challenges authority, breaks rules, is a promiscuous lover, but the cool waters ebbed back to reveal a traumatic childhood and an almost vigilante sense of justice. Of course he’d be a good Batman.
Batman & Robin Is Silly, But At Least It Goes Hard The revisionist view of Batman & Robin is that it’s high-camp art, that everyone involved knows exactly what they’re doing and that it’s great fun if you squint and place a tongue firmly in one cheek. Lots of that rings true if you ignore the melancholy George Clooney has always draped any assessment of his performance in.
