Clooney has been known to mock this film in various instances for being an immense failure. Warner Bros. is known to have wanted to cancel the Batman films after George Clooney’s performance in Batman and Robin. Batman underwent a revival with Christopher Nolan playing the Caped Crusader. This was when the box office was once more drawn.
