BATMAN AND ROBIN

I didn't create this quote page because I liked "Batman and Robin", but because I like the comic book character Batman. My favourite of the four movies is Batman Returns, but I think it would have been perfect if it was just a story about Batman and Catwoman.

As Batman you can't just cut loose.

-*George Clooney

No matter how good or evil, there is always a part of you in the character.

-*Arnold Schwarzenegger

Love hurts, in my case it kills.

-*Uma Thurman

It's weird having a girl (Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl) in the Batcave. My God, people are going to start thinking Batman and Robin are heterosexual.

-Chris O'Donnell -Robin

They've always got some new ridiculous harness they're throwing you into. You come to the set and some stunt guy's been hanging up on the ceiling for 10 minutes, looking like his head's about to exploded, and they say, 'Okay, Chris, this is what you're going to do.' And I'm like, 'No, no, no, no!'

-Chris O'Donnell --about flying for his role as Robin

Early September in a batsuit is a living hell. You can't hear, you can barely move, and the heat! It'll just kill ya. People ask me if I did my own stunts. And I say, 'Yeah, I got dressed and walked from the trailer to the set.'

-George Clooney --about wearing a 85 pound molded rubber suit for his role as the new Batman

I'd hobble over to the set with a cane, they'd say 'Action!' and I'd have to walk normally across the Batcave where another cane was waiting for me. Not exactly the stuff of superheroes.

-George Clooney --about the torn leg ligament he suffered during filming his TV series ER and then going to film BATMAN AND ROBIN (sometimes leaving the set of ER at 1:30AM and starting as Batman at 6AM that same day)

Michael Keaton originated the character. Then Val stepped in to save it. I just hope I'm not the guy they say screwed up the whole business.

-George Clooney --about the Batman franchise and this film

...love the opportunity...If I come back, it means the franchise didn't fail and I didn't screw up. (...) In BATMAN 5, I'm wearing nothing but a thong!

-George Clooney --about making a fifth BATMAN movie and commentary about the 85 pound molded rubber suit he must wears

I'd look at Arnold (Schwarzenegger) and think, 'I'm not looking at a human. He's some sort of wrathful Norse god'

-Uma Thurman --about the character Mr. Freeze's 65 pound costume

There comes a point with most sequels where it becomes about milking and milking something until it ceases to be worth it.

-David Brown -- a producer on the topic of sequels

The equation is pertty simple, if people keep coming, we'll keep making Batman movies.

-an unnamed top Warner Bros. executive
