As for “Batman and Robin”, this article has some of the story right. I remember the exact story of how Joel Schumacher chose George Clooney, as Schumacher told it himself in an interview at the time.

Scumacher was on a flight reading a magazine. He did see George Clooney’s picture in that magazine, that much is correct. Schumacher then drew the Batman mask on Clooney’s face, and in Schumacher’s words, Clooney “looked faaaabulous”.

I never forgot it since it was so stereotypical of a gay director. They cast using their head below the waist, and not the one above their neck. Hence why gay cinema stinks like it does. And I say this as a mostly gay bisexual, so this critique of Joel Schumacher is not homophobia talking. It’s reality.

For some reason they thought that Harrison Ford was too old to carry the film as the leading man and wanted to give him a son and wanted to find a young guy to carry the part of a ‘manly man’ but instead they wound up with Sheila Laboof.

…who was adequate in Even Stevens and rather cute in Holes but too girly to be an action hero for Indy or Transformers.

and now Indiana Jones is but a memory of what once was a great movie series.
