Batman 5: Why WB Must Bring Back Tim Burton & Michael Keaton

2. No More Clooney

clooney Batman Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Clooney is a bad actor. What I am saying is that he's a bad Batman. I'll also go on record and say that he's an unimpressive Bruce Wayne as well. Clooney's Batman was too "hip" and "witty" which are not words that should apply to Gotham's Dark Knight. Batman isn't witty, he's grim and silent. He's not hip, he's severe and unrelenting. Clooney's delivery felt like it would fit better in a comedic buddy movie, which is not something a Batman movie should ever be. If Warners can't get Michael Keaton to return to the role (which would be great) they should at the very least make sure politely tell Clooney 'no thanks' if he comes calling to be in the sequel.
