The 1997 Joel Schumacher film still receives brickbats because it featured George Clooney's Batman in a suit with nipples. "I wasn't thrilled with the nipples on the batsuit," Clooney told Rolling Stone in its January issue. "Batman was just constantly cold I guess."

According to Twitter followers, it was a strikeout.
"We got the message loud and clear," Shepard said. "That's what social media is all about."
So it's back to the drawing board for the jerseys, which will be worn on two military nights at the ballpark, Aug. 30 and Sept. 11.
This time, guys, no nipples. That's an order.
Thank u all 4 your input on a design 4 our Military jerseys. Love how it has taken on a life of its own. Additional designs coming soon.
