I can just picture that costume design production meeting, "the suit is missing something that'll really strike fear in the enemies. I know, it needs some nipples".

[@Cotygeek]

TheoKabala89 Yeah...Schumacher's tried to use the excuse that he was trying to tie Batman's costume with the architecture and statues that you see all over the place in the movie. Sounded like crap then and it sounds worse now.

I'll never accept that apology. Clooney did everything in his power to deliver a great Batman and his scenes, the "I Love You" to Alfred, the Control Freak taking control of Robin's gear in the pursuit and the "Vengeance isn't power" scene are peak Batman scenes of all time. The failure of the movie is Warner's fault, how it buried genius scenes under all those ridiculous ideas it's not on Schumacher and the cast.

No, Warner Bros ruined it themselves, Joel Schumacher actually wanted to make a dark Batman movie, but Waner Bros said "No!" and forced him to make 2 hour toy ads. Heck, before Batman & Robin was released, he wanted to make a third Batman film that would be more darker, and he even said he wanted to give fans "a real Batman movie".

Chris Purolover He did read the awful script, didn't he? He memorized the horrid dialogue lines, didn't he? He's a part of the failure that movie was.

[@DropkickNation]

The Dark Knight You don't seem to get what I'm saying, do you?

[@CliventheTraveller]

The Dark Knight I agree w/Chris and Speed. Even a great script can be wrecked by bad direction and/or production, and the worst scripts can actually look not quite so bad on page, but clearly be horrid when being acted out, a sort of a "that sounded better in my head" sort of thing. Admittedly, dialogue is pretty clearly what it is on page or on stage, from what I've seen, but who expected good dialogue from a comics movie back in those days, before the serious comics flicks started happening? People expected flash and sound and fury and color, not Kant, Nietzsche, Lao Tzu, or Socrates out of these things, back in the day. OtOH. . . Bat credit card. . But again. . ppl, especially those who were NOT fans, might have expected Adam West style camp. Riddle me this: What is a bad Batflick when it lacks rubber Batnipples? Answer: not THAT bad a batflick. I doubt the script contained THAT element as a warning flag.

[@CybexAl]

CliventheTraveller Still maintain that had the script, vision and direction been right, had the producers not smeared their paw prints all over this movie, Clooney would have been the best Batman of all and would have played in at least two further sequels. Clooney looks like Batman and if they can make pint sized Keaton look passable in a Batman consume, they would have done the same for George, an actor whose ability far surpasses Keaton. He's a better actor than Affleck, Bale and Keaton. He has a superb range. Picture this: Tarantino directing Clooney as Batman for which he's also written the script. I think you can see what I mean.

[@aw3s0m3man]

It's Joel Schumachers fault. He is the one who destroyed Batman. George shouldn't be blaming himself.

[@Stroija]

Suspect It's not solely his fault. A big budget film like Batman and Robin's downfall can't be depended on only one person. Schumacher is a great director, but he surely didn't handle the project well. But I would also put blame on the writer, among many others.

[@goncalotordo4507]

Stroya Actually, the fault came from studio pressure, not Schumacher. Schumacher actually wanted to make dark Batman movies but the studio forced him to make the movies family friendly

[@Stroija]

Again, it's not solely one source to blame, it's a mix of things.

[@goncalotordo4507]

Stroya True enough, though I'd still argue the bulk goes to the studio itself

[@Stroija]

Pretty much yeah.

His Joel Schumacher impersonation. Ah man. XD

[@MythopoeicNavid]

I loved it. Seriously, I was a kid maybe 6 or 7 and loved everyone in it. It's Adam West remade, and Joel Schumacher had nothing to apologise for.

Best thing to come out of Batman & robin is this interview!

RIP and long live Joel Schumacher (August 29, 1939 - June 22, 2020), aged 80 You will always be remembered as a legend.

[@daverichards9141]

His cameo in flash made up for it.

[@keefriff99]

Clooney had nothing to do with ruining the franchise. As Kevin Smith has said, he could actually play an amazing older Bruce Wayne if they tried doing a legit Frank Miller/Dark Knight Returns film at some point. Both Clooney and Schumacher have apologized. I'm over my Schumacher hatred. The guy has made a lot of films that I like...he's far from a hack. If anything, I blame Warner Brothers' greed. They wanted a toy-friendly kiddie franchise, and ran that shit straight into the ground.

[@hijodelaisla275]

"actually"

[@ghostviggen]

Without Clooney we wouldn't have gotten Batman Begins and we wouldn't have gotten The Dark Knight.

[@Jesus_not_God_he_worship_him]

For me, Batman and Robin was never bad. George Clooney is acting in a somewhat contrived way This is in all his films, but the story and action were good

I never want to hear anyone apologise for Batman & Robin. It's an absolute masterpiece. Probably my favourite bad movie ever.

[@molybdaen11]

I do not understand what's so bad about it? Jes it's more colorful then the 1990 batman movies and way over the top with the jokes. But I personally liked it, it felt refreshing and fun to watch. The Gothic people got the dark knight afterwards so everyone can be happy.

[@astheniceel13]

@@molybdaen11 I'll tell you reasons why it's hated. Too many Mr Freeze puns, a bat credit card, everyone has a bat-nipple suit, they made Bane a mindless gorilla buffoon and his transformation was just too much!

[@molybdaen11]

@@astheniceel13 I understand you, nobody like they favorite hero/villian treated badly. I personally thought that "the dark knight rises" was not a good batman movie for example. Jes it had much action and good scenes but treated the character badly (since when does batman use the front door in bright daylight?).

I love that as much as George Clooney regrets doing Batman and Robin and concedes that it was a disaster, he had nothing but positive things to say about Joel Schumacher even as he was making fun of his directing style in this interview.

[@JHero]

I’m sorry but George Clooney as Batman was my very first live action Batman interpretation I’ve ever seen, and in my eyes he was the best one and my favorite one to this day.

[@Rickycomment]

Me too, my first Batman seen in a film. A VHS for my birthday

[@DurkMcGerk]

No need to apologize. Batmen are like James Bonds. The one you see when you're a kid tends to be your favorite. My favorite James Bond as a kid was Roger Moore, by all accounts one of the worst Bonds but he's still my favorite. People like what they like.

[@CraftyWizard23]

The problem wasn't George. The problem weren't the costumes or the acting. The problem was the script. Bad Bad BAAAAD script.
