George Clooney Says There No Way He’s Making More Batman

The following publish incorporates SPOILERS for The Flash. You most likely know them by now. But simply in case, right here is your warning. 

When The Flash ended with a surprising DC actor return — George Clooney! He’s Batman once more! — there was some contingent of followers who thought this was not only a one-off cameo however the brand new established order; that DC’s new universe beneath the auspices of James Gunn would characteristic an older Batman performed by George Clooney. It wasn’t a wildly implausible idea, particularly since DC had claimed that The Flash was, no less than at one level, designed to be the transition between the DC Extended Universe, and no matter was to return subsequent.

Still, I personally assumed Clooney’s full-time return to caped crusading was about as doubtless as Adam West rising from the useless to star in a film adaptation of Blackest Night. And but I had conversations with sensible, well-informed individuals who had been absolutely satisfied the second coming of Clooney Batman was upon us.

If you felt the identical manner, George Clooney has some information for you: It ain’t occurring.

Asked by Entertainment Tonight about how his shocking return as Bruce Wayne happened, Clooney quipped “I thought there was such a clamor for me to come back, as you know… I actually said ‘Wear my rubber [Batman suit] nipples?’ And they were like ‘Can we do without the rubber nipples?’ I was like, ‘Well, it’s not really my Batman, is it?”

When the follow-up query was whether or not he may very well be coaxed out of retirement but once more for extra Bat-adventures, Clooney joked “I don’t think there’s enough enough drugs in the world.”
