Clooney Claims His Batman Was Gay; Barbara Walters Interviews Other People

Authored by editorial.rottentomatoes.com and submitted by Vergil387

According to the New York Daily News, George Clooney tells Barbara Walters tonight that his 1997 film "Batman & Robin" was more like "BrokeBat Mountain…"

"George Clooney outs Batman on Barbara Walters’ Oscar special tonight. Asked if he’d ever play a gay role, Clooney says he already did — as Batman. "Think about it," he explains. "I was in a rubber suit. I had rubber nipples. I could have played him straight but I didn’t. I made him gay." Well, that puts Bruce Wayne’s "ward" Robin in a new light …"

It all makes sense now…catch the interview yourself tonight. Walters’ annual Oscar special airs tonight on ABC and includes one-on-ones with Clooney (on his cinematic politics), Patrick Dempsey (on his dyslexia), Matthew McConaughey (on being sexy, and his romance with Penelope Cruz), and Mariah Carey (on her childhood, her break down, and her comeback).

In his AMA I asked him if he regretted playing Batman, he said that he didn't, just because he got to work with some awesome people.

someone put bat nipples on the suit and someone else, multiple people, said that's cool let's roll film.
