Batman & Robin, the almost completely unwatchable movie starring George Clooney as a nippled Batman and Arnold Schwarzenegger chewing the frozen scenery, is twenty years old this month. Director Joel Schumacher would like for you to know that he feels bad about it.

Holy Rusted Metal Batman!

by Jill Pantozzi Apr 19th

We all have different preferences. Especially when it comes to Batman. You've got your Adam West lovers, Tim Burton fans, Joel Schumacher mostly haters, and Christopher Nolan devotees. And of course there's many who like a mix of those as well but Val Kilmer, who donned the Batman costume in Batman Forever, knows exactly where things went wrong - his film.

Holy Joel Schumacher Had Another Batman Movie In The Works, Batman!

Nope. Still Not Happening.

I'll admit, I actually take enjoyment from Batman Forever and Batman and Robin. Not the same kind I take from Tim Burton's Batman films or the Christopher Nolan ones but enjoyment nonetheless.

And I think it's fair to say that fallen star George Clooney never saw his career recover ... oh, wait, except for that amazing career he has led ever since donning the famous nipples -- BATSUIT. Batsuit. And now, he's admitting a few things about Batman and Robin, and it includes some swear words.

Because that big-budget, epic Spider-Man musical has been such a runaway success, DC Comics and Warner Brothers thought to create a Batman "arena theater" show that will premiere in Manchester, England and make its way to the United States next year after touring the UK. Featuring an original story focused on Dick Grayson, it has been described as "a theatrical extravaganza of thrilling stunts, acrobatic acts and illusions" and "neither a musical, nor a traditional theatrical production, but ‘an elaborate all-new, all-action arena production aimed at kids and families.'" It's also being described (by /film) as "a direct continuation of the story that was unceremoniously dropped after Batman & Robin." And we all know how well-received that was. Photos and a video after the jump so you can judge for yourself!
