No this is not an April Fool’s Joke. Funko really are going to be releasing a George Clooney Batman figure from the much maligned Batman Forever follow-up Batman & Robin.
I’ve got to say it actually looks pretty great in toy form. I imagine a Batman Forever Sonar Suit can’t be far behind because it’s a pretty similar design/mould.
I’ve sorted of avoided talking about the infamous 1997 movie for a long time. And… well… there’s a reason that this website is called 1995Batman.com.
I don’t really have a great hatred of Batman & Robin (like so much of the internet does) but I don’t really have a great love for it either. I’m sure at some point I’ll put down my complicated feelings about the movie. The short version is I think it’s a rushed, lazy movie that tries and fails to copy all the beats of Batman Forever without getting the recipe right.
Anyway, I’ll probably be picking this up and will do a review regardless.
