IN BRIEFS: News from the Wo/Men Who Wear Tights on Film

George Clooney on the stigma of Batman and Robin! Plus, Tom Hiddleston on Thor and Blake Lively on Green Lantern!

George Clooney, Bruce Wayne/Batman in Batman and Robin


On the reaction to his turn as Bruce Wayne/Batman in the universally-panned Joel Schumacher film:

"I don't think I've ever been ripped apart as heavily as I was ripped apart [for that]. I was also still on a television series. So it was, 'You're never going to make it in film because of this,' and 'He's buried the franchise.' And then I was, 'I've got to find a good script.'

And the next project I did was Out of Sight, and it was one of the best reviewed films I've ever been in. I didn't suddenly become a good actor. So it really isn't necessarily about the performer. It's about the screenplay, the director, all of the other elements that come into play. We get too much credit when things go well, and then we get laid into when things go poorly."















Tom Hiddleston, Loki in upcoming Thor

On finding out that he had spent 6 weeks eating only chicken and and "the odd egg" to bulk up for the role of Thor in Kenneth Branagh's production of Thor, only to find out that they actually wanted him to play the much-leaner Loki:

"I guess it was a relief to go back to my natural body shape."




















Blake Lively, Star Sapphire in upcoming Green Lantern


On landing the role of Carol Ferris, AKA Star Sapphire, in Martin Campbell's Green Lantern:

"Oh my gosh, it means the world! It’s such an exciting film to be a part of, wonderful cast, wonderful studio and it’s an amazing role so I’m really thrilled."

I can actually agree with what he's saying. Hypothetically switch Clooney and Bale. I wouldn't go as far as to say that Clooney would have been as good as Bale is or that Bale would have been as bad as Clooney was. However, if Clooney was working with Nolan, Nolan would have been able to bring out a better performance. Batman and Robin lacked emotion overall, so Bale's performance in that movie would not have been as good as what he gave in Begins and TDK.

@ superkal Dusk til daw is not pure batman, clooneys a criminal who fights vampires and has tattoos and is anything but elegant. That is not Bruce Wayne and the action scenes are a hell of a lot different then what you'd expect in a batman movie.

@LEEE777, Probably would still be a sh1t Batman/Bruce, but a little bit less so. I think Nolan would make him better.

i think instead of bale they should've gone with the initial choice.. ashton kutcher.. might sound wierd.. but if he had bulked up with that height.. n also with some of the intensity like in the butterfly effect.. who knows..

I still disagree with people who think Clooney was awful. Well let me clarify. His performance was not great but I believe it was still really do to poor direction and a poor poor script. As BIGBMH pointed out switch Bayle and Clooney. Who's to say we wouldn't be clambering about Nolan and Clooney now. I honestly think Bayle is not that great of a Batman let alone Bruce Wayne. Clooney had the look of Bruce Wayne and didn't growl every line as Batman. I would actually like to see Adrian Pasdar play the role someday.
