6. He Has The Worst Batman In Film History As A Resource, George Clooney
Conversely to having Smith as one of his closest friends, he also has a friend and film making partner in George Clooney. While many will argue that Batman and Robin is one of the worst movies in comic book history, it actually sits ahead financially at #41 over Hellboy I-II and Blade I-II (Comic Book Adaptation), with over $238 Million in revenue at the box office, and the film made a ton of money merchandising toys. While I agree, it's an awful movie (as a comic book fan), I also understand and recognize this movie was not for me or for any of us "elder" fans. It was for little kids. I also boldly state that Clooney was a decent and vulnerable Bruce Wayne (despite what I wrote as my heading). Destined to fail in the role among comic book fans due to a hurricane of horribad decisions put together by the studio and those running the production. Take away the gimmicks, the stupid nipple suit, recast Freeze, get rid of the writers, and the film could have been pleasantly camp. That's a lot of change for any movie, it's far better to simply reboot the franchise (which took eight years). Clooney has a lot of insight, undoubtedly already, conveyed to Affleck in regards to his rendition of the character. Chances are he may even have a few revelations about "What if" situations he might've had if he would have stood his ground (hypothetically) on issues he saw with the writing, the direction, or perhaps how stupid he looked in the suit.

I'm a writer, a published author, and editor for a small independent publishing house. I'm an award winning producer of independent media, and I get to edit books, screenplays, and comics in my day to day. I love working on independent film & games, during my down time, as well as reviewing films while gobbling down milk duds (it's an addiction, I know). I've been called "Geek-Prime" among my peers for all the fandoms I work in, and I wear that title proudly. It's a passion, and an exercise in my growing profession, to get to write about what I love. Which happens to be a little of everything. But mostly film, comics, horror, games, anime, literature, and life. I do write about academic material, like politics, medicine, physics, and mathematics too. But for the most part, I like to keep things down to earth and simple. Follow me on Twitter & Facebook
