George Clooney as Captain Planet? Hey, he already did a Batman movie. As lame as Batman and Robin was, he still knows what it's like to wear the tights of a superhero. He also knows what it takes to stand up to some first-rate villains.

Just last week, he stood toe to toe with with the Russkies at a UN conference where he was being honored as a UN Messenger of Peace. He had planned to speak about his recent trip to Darfur, but a group of delegates, lead by Russia, took offense and blocked his speech -- whatever that means. Anyway, George fired back -- he held a press conference later that day and said his piece in spite of the whining nuclear superpower.

Aside from being a boundless crusader for the downtrodden, Clooney likes to keep it green by driving an all-electric Tango around town. I know Captain Planet probably doesn't need a car, but maybe his normal 'Bruce Wayne' side does.
