The Dark Knight Falls: A Critique of George Clooney's Batman

Batman is a beloved character known for his dark and brooding persona. However, when George Clooney took on the role in the 1997 film 'Batman & Robin,' fans were left disappointed. The worst case scenario was poor Arnold Schwarznegger, who struggled to deliver a convincing performance alongside Uma Thurman.

Despite her best efforts, Thurman's character was given little to work with and ultimately failed to make an impact. Alicia Silverstone, on the other hand, was extremely annoying as Batgirl. Meanwhile, Chris O'Donnell looked uncomfortable in his role as Robin, a problem that has plagued him in most of his heroic movie appearances.

Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, and even Christian Bale would likely be shocked to see Batman portrayed as charming and not dark and brooding. Clooney's take on the character lacked the intensity and gravitas that fans expect from Batman. As a charming actor, he may have been miscast in the role.

One major problem with the film is the poor choice of actors. Each actor was wasted in their respective roles. While the costumes and sets were nice, they couldn't compensate for the overall disappointment of the movie.

In conclusion, 'Batman & Robin' falls short due to a combination of poor acting choices and a lack of faithfulness to the character's original persona. The film failed to impress fans and critics alike, cementing its place as one of the worst Batman movies ever made.
