Joel Schumacher’s 1997 film “Batman & Robin” is one of the best\u00a0(and\u00a0definitely\u00a0<\/em>brightest) examples of disastrous filmmaking\u00a0in the history of superhero cinema. The movie completed the journey Schumacher’s “Batman Forever”\u00a0had already started and brought Gotham’s caped crusader back to the camp live-action roots of the 1960s TV show … only, with way more bat-themed nipple suits and credit cards. Suffice to say, star George Clooney knows why he wasn’t asked to reprise Batman in 2023’s “The Flash”<\/a> (though, in all fairness, he did cameo as Bruce Wayne), and\u00a0\u00a0Schumacher himself has apologized for both\u00a0“Batman & Robin”\u00a0and the bat nipples<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now, Alicia Silverstone (who plays Batgirl in the movie) has shared some of her “Batman & Robin”\u00a0experiences in a new Entertainment Weekly<\/a> interview. As you might imagine, the experience was extremely chaotic, and she specifically thanked Clooney for supporting her throughout the confusion:<\/p>\n “I remember a lot of things not making sense. We would be in a big warehouse and there was so many extras and so much going on … [George] really was like a big brother in those circumstances. So cool. He stood up for me and was reasonable when things were not. I remember we finally got the things on and we’re standing there on top of this platform in the warehouse, and I turned to Chris [O’Donnell] and George and I said, ‘What do we do?’ And they’re like, ‘Don’t worry, you’ll figure it out.’ I was like, ‘What do you mean?’ And then I hear over a big bullhorn, ‘Throw the thing!’ and I said, ‘Chris, throw what at what?’ He’s like, ‘Don’t worry about it, you’re overthinking it.’ It’s like, ‘What do you mean? We don’t even know what we’re throwing!’ because they added it all later.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
