THE CODPIECE

Not since Henry VIII wore his pouch on the outside of his tights has anything destroyed the standing of the mighty codpiece quite like the cinematic clusterfuck, Batman And Robin. It’s unclear how George Clooney and Chris O’Donnell felt as they suited up for this installment of the franchise, but the addition of nipples and a sizeable lunch codpiece to their costumes could only have helped this campy caper bomb at the box office.
