It always feels like a good day when George Clooney trends on Twitter! The actor known for Ocean's Eleven, ER, and much more is currently a hot topic on the social media site, but people aren't exactly sure why. However, we have some guesses. First of all, Variety reported today that Clooney just helped raise $7 million for Joe Biden's presidential campaign. We believe that news mixed with the fact that Batman has also been trending explains the surge in Clooney tweets. Clooney, of course, played the DC hero in Batman and Robin back in 1997. Since yesterday saw the first trailer for Matt Reeves' The Batman and it was announced this week that former Batmen Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck would be reprising their DC roles in The Flash movie, that's just the perfect storm (pun intended) the get Clooney trending.

While some people are tweeting about Clooney as Batman, others are just reminiscing about his television days or discussing some of his best movies. Here are some of the best tweets to hit Twitter today in honor of Oscar-winning star...

Gravity

I watched “Gravity” today and realize you don’t need to see George Clooney face to know he is handsome. His voice is perfect.

Enough Love to Go Around

I really liked Michael Keaton Batman.
I really liked Val Kilmer as Batman.
I really liked Christian Bale as Batman.
I really liked Ben Affleck as Batman.
I think I’ll really like Robert Pattison as Batman.

You don’t have to choose.

(also I liked George Clooney’s Bat-Nips)
