10 Actors Who Blamed Themselves For Films Failing

10. George Clooney - Batman & Robin

Batman & Robin is a rare film with no shortage of people involved willing to accept responsibility for its cataclysmic failure.

Director Joel Schumacher freely apologised to fans and accepted blame for its failure, and star George Clooney similarly decided to nobly leap on his sword.

Over the last 20-plus years, Clooney has frequently stated that the film fundamentally didn't work across-the-board, and largely placed the blame at his own two feet, declaring that he's "terrible in it."

Clooney also took the brunt of the flak for "destroying" the Batman movie franchise for the better part of a decade, until Christopher Nolan of course came along and salvaged it.

Legend even dictates that Clooney will still give a refund to anyone who comes up to him and claims they saw Batman & Robin at the cinema, such is the weight of his guilt about delivering such an emphatic dud of a superhero movie.
