Batman And Robin isn't a good movie but in an interview Clooney gave with Michelle Pfeiffer, he explained why it didn't destroy his career. He said: He said: "After 'Batman & Robin' came out, and it was a big bomb — you learn from your failures; you don't learn from successes. In theory, Batman/Bruce Wayne could have been a perfect role for Clooney. Unfortunately, the movie's version of the billionaire crimefighter was devoid of the actor's usual charm, and George Clooney hated his Batman & Robin performance for a few reasons. production companies have control over decisions like these. they make decisions based on what they think is the right risk vs reward opportunities, which is why high-risk chances are rarely taken in Hollywood. a failure big-budget film can cripple a studio, so they often make decisions outside of the purview of the general public. in contrast Plot Batman and his partner, Robin, encounter a new foe, Mr. Freeze, who has left a string of diamond robberies in his wake. During a confrontation in the natural history museum, Freeze steals a bigger diamond and flees, freezing Robin and leaving Batman unable to pursue him. Batman & Robin represents the most cynical aspects of the studio system when it comes to making a movie, but such monumental failure still towers in engraved permafrost above passably faded pWa9.
