THE JOKER & THE PENGUIN TRIED, BUT DID GEORGE CLOONEY ALMOST KILL BATMAN?

As everyone knows by now, Ben Affleck has been named to play Batman in Batman vs. Superman, the sequel to Man of Steel. There has been so much unwarranted backlash towards Ben Affleck playing the caped crusader. But, as many other articles on the web have pointed out, actors Michael Keaton and Academy Award winner George Clooney were similarly criticized when they were cast as Batman in previous Batman films. 

Clooney starred as Batman back in 1997’s Batman & Robin, which was the second Batman film directed by Joel Schumacher. We have spoken to Clooney, who takes responsibility for the film’s poor performance. We don’t think it was his fault. We think Schumacher’s vision, or lack thereof, is the reason why the film was a disappointment. Years ago, Clooney told us why he thought the film wasn’t well received.
