Due to its robust popularity, the powers that be ordered a big-screen iteration of the hero resulting in 1966’s Batman: The Movie, and let’s just say, we should all be thankful for our modern-day heroes.

There’s only so much an actor can do with bad material.Īdam West enjoyed a relatively brief tenure as the Dark Knight, donning the cape and cowl from 1966-68 in the campy TV series Batman. Nowadays, Clooney has leaned into the film’s absurdity and even apologized for his performance on occasion.

The results are akin to a poorly stitched together Halloween costume that, when coupled with Akiva Goldsman’s ridiculous script, leave Clooney clinging for dear life in a role he should have drop-kicked on sight. Not helping matters is Stephen Goldblatt’s candy colored cinematography, which does nothing to hide the rubbery visage of the suit. To his credit, Clooney slides into the debonair billionaire Bruce Wayne role relatively well and displays great chemistry with his co-stars, but looks rather silly as the titular Caped Crusader.
