Batman and Robin star says George Clooney ‘stood up for me and was reasonable when things were not’
Alicia Silverstone says George Clooney was a ‘big brother’ to her during Batman and Robbin
- Alicia Silverstone, who portrayed Batgirl in the 1997 film Batman & Robin, revealed that co-star George Clooney acted like a “big brother” and supported her on set.
- Silverstone, then 20, recounted the challenges of wearing the film's elaborate costumes, which made bathroom breaks impossible.
- Despite its reputation as the worst Batman film, Silverstone noted that some, particularly her gay friends, consider it their favorite due to its camp style.
- Clooney, who played Batman, has openly expressed his regret about the movie, labelling it a “waste of money” and joking he would not make it again.
- The film's silly tone marked a significant departure from previous darker Batman portrayals and led to a long hiatus for the character on screen until Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins in 2005.
