Kenapa Suit Batman Dalam 'Batman & Robin' Ada Puting Yang Tertonjol?

Filem Batman arahan Joel Schumacher yang diterbitkan pada tahun 1996 mendapat kontroversi yang agak janggal apabila ramai peminat menyatakan kepentingan puting pada suit Batman yang dikenakan oleh aktor George Clooney. Para peminat menggelarkannya Bat Nipple yang mana menjadi bahan jenaka sehingga kini.

Sehingga kini, tiada penjelasan munasabah kenapa suit Batman memerlukan puting. Pelakon Batman, George Clooney sendiri tidak ada jawapan untuk persoalan ini ketika ditanya pada tahun 2014.

I wasn't thrilled with the nipples on the batsuit. You know that's not something you really think about when you're putting it on ... Batman was just constantly cold I guess.

Dalam satu temubual bersama Joel Schumacher sempena ulangtahun ke 20 filem Batman & Robin, Joel Schumacher mendedahkan hal berkenaan Bat Nipples. Ketika memulakan temubual, Joel Schumacher meminta maaf berkenaan hal itu.

Look, I apologize. I want to apologize to every fan that was disappointed, because I think I owe them that. I just know that I'll always go down over the nipples on Batman starting with Batman Forever. Such a sophisticated world we live in where two pieces of rubber the size of erasers on old pencils, those little nubs, can be an issue. It's going to be on my tombstone, I know it.

Dan kemudiannya, Joel Schumacher pun membuka cerita...

Well it was made by Jose Fernandez, who was our brilliant lead sculpture. If you look at Batman and Batman Returns, it was the genius Bob Ringwood that created those suits, so by the time we got to Batman Forever, the rubber and techniques had gotten so sophisticated. If you look at when Michael Keaton appears in the first suit, you'll notice how large it is. It was brilliant but the best they could do at the time. By the time Batman Forever came around, rubber molding had become so much more advanced. So I said, let's make it anatomical and gave photos of those greek status and those incredible anatomical drawings you see in medical books. He did the nipples and when I looked at them, I thought, that's cool.

Joel Schumacher mengakhiri kata-katanya dengan menyatakan bahawa dia yakin dengan apa yang dilakukannya pada masa itu dan tidak pernah menyesal melakukannya.

You know what? I really never thought that would happen. I really didn't. Maybe I was just naive, but I'm still glad we did it.

Walaupun ada isu Bat Nipples yang menjadi bahan jenaka sehingga sekarang, filem tersebut boleh dikatakan antara yang menarik untuk ditonton sebelum wujudnya DCEU pada zaman sekarang. Agaknya, apakah fungsi Bat Nipples itu jika ianya boleh berfungsi ya?
