    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
      @Cotygeek 9 років тому +55

      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.

    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".

    • @CliventheTraveller
      @CliventheTraveller 9 років тому +4

      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
      @CybexAl 9 років тому +5

      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.

      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

      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.

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

    I love the way the girl beside Clooney nods her head when he says I always apologize for Batman and Robin.
