5 Reasons Why George Clooney Could Have Been The Best Batman

4. Clooney Can Be A Playboy

george clooney batman Clooney's early roles were heart throbs. He knows how to get his charm on. He knows what the ladies like, and that's exactly what Bruce Wayne needs. Bruce Wayne ought to be the last person you suspect to be Batman. Michael Keaton did this best on film, but even in Batman and Robin, Clooney charmed everyone. Only problem is this is the only film where he doesn't have a love interest (Poison Ivy doesn't count. Robin might.). Consider the following. Val Kilmer was dull as Bruce. Christian Bale tries to be a convincing playboy, but you'd know there was something off about this guy if you met him. He seems fake, bored with life. On the other hand, Keaton fooled everyone, including the audience. Fans petitioned WB for a recast because they couldn't see Keaton as Batman. Keaton's Bruce Wayne is a charming playboy who internalizes all of his issues. Bruce Wayne is the mask Batman hides behind. Where does Clooney come in? Clooney can pull playboy charm even better than Keaton. Keaton's Bruce Wayne was a nice guy, but not the type who you can visualize getting any girl he wants. Bruce Wayne is a pheromone factory. Women are drawn to him, even if they're out to kill him. They just can't help it. Clooney is also a lady magnet. He was voted the sexiest man alive at least once. Clooney can play the mask of Bruce Wayne perfectly. ...but does that mean all that much in the long run if he can't play Batman?
