3) Batman & Robin (1997) – 12%
And here’s where the score starts getting hilariously low. Back in 1997, George Clooney portrayed the role of Batman alongside Chris O’Donnell’s Robin in Batman & Robin. With Joel Schumacher as the director, the movie depicted a comedic Batman that the world didn’t need to take seriously.
