Uma Thurmanis looking back at her time makingBatman & Robinwith fond memories.
The 1997 superhero film turns 25 this year, and was universally panned at the time of its release. Still, Thurman, 51, recalls having a great time on set.
“I was just talking aboutJoel Schumacher, the director who is a friend I love so much,” Thurman, who played villain Poison Ivy in the film, recently toldEntertainment Tonightof the late Schumacher who died at 80 in 2020 after a year-long cancer battle.
“That was a fantastic experience. I had to wear lots of rubber suits,” she added of filming.

“Whenever someone has a rubber face, there is something really bad going on,” Thurman said of the kidnappers inSuspicion, who wear rubber face masks.
InBatman & Robin, though, “I did not have a rubber mask,” she noted. “I had my own face.”
“But I had some rubber appliances on my face sometimes,” Thurman added. “That was about as much rubber as I’ve ever worked with, personally.”

During a 2019 interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, Clooney, 60, plainly stated of the movie, “I wasn’t good in it; it wasn’t a good film,” but said he used the experience to inform his future film projects.
“What Ilearned from that failure wasthat I had to relearn how I was working. Now, I wasn’t just an actor getting a role, I was being held responsible for the film itself,” Clooney explained. “So the next three films I did wereThree Kings,Out of SightandO Brother, Where Art Thou?”
“That was a very specific choice for me to find better projects,” he added.
