George Clooney turned up as Bruce Wayne within the remaining moments of “The Flash,” however by no means does that imply he’s serious about enjoying Batman once more. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight whereas selling his newest directorial effort “The Boys in the Boat,” Clooney mentioned the possibilities of him enjoying Batman once more are lower than slim to none.
“I do not think there’s enough drugs in the world for me to go back,” Clooney mentioned bluntly.
So why did he determine to return as Bruce Wayne in “The Flash” anyway? “I thought there was such a clamor for me to come back as Batman, as you know. There was a clamor,” Clooney sarcastically wisecracked. “I actually said, ‘Where are my rubber nipples?’ And they were like, ‘Can we do it without the rubber nipples?’ I was like, ‘Well, it’s not really my Batman, is it?’”
Clooney starred as the long-lasting superhero within the notorious 1997 sequel “Batman & Robin,” which he has overtly mocked over time. The actor famously as soon as mentioned in an interview, “It was a difficult film to be good in. With hindsight it’s easy to look back at this and go, ‘Woah, that was really shit and I was really bad in it.’”
In a Variety interview again in 2021, Clooney joked that “Batman & Robin” was so unhealthy that it “destroyed” the superhero franchise. He added that he refused to let his spouse even watch it as a result of it’s so horrible, including: “There are certain films I just go, ‘I want my wife to have some respect for me.’”
“The Boys in the Boat” opens in theaters Dec. 25 from MGM and Amazon. Watch Clooney’s full interview with Entertainment Tonight within the video under.
