Funny thing is, I don’t really remember Clooney’s Batman, but I remember Kilmer’s being incredibly stiff. There were plenty of awful things in B&I, and Clooney was the least of them. I’d say he did the best with what very little he was given. ---

You had me with “Inability to pass up a straight line” but lost me with “Must pet cats”. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/george-clooney-arrested/615985.md?page=1)
