Overview
- Clooney jokingly called himself “the best Batman” and riffed on the suit’s nipples in a new Variety career retrospective.
- He described the 1997 Batsuit as painful and immobile, recalling being propped on a board while director Joel Schumacher gave directions over a loudspeaker.
- He reiterated he has no interest in returning to the role, saying there aren’t “enough drugs in the world” for a comeback.
- The remarks reflect a lighter tone toward Batman & Robin, a film widely panned on release and later blamed for the franchise’s pause until 2005.
- He briefly reappeared as Bruce Wayne in a cameo in 2023’s The Flash but has consistently said that was a one-off.
