George Clooney - Despite "The Flash" never again Batman
George Clooney (62) recently made a mini-appearance as Bruce Wayne in "The Flash" - but he never wants to embody his alter ego Batman again. In an interview with "Entertainment Tonight" , Clooney was asked how he could be persuaded to slip back into the Dark Knight's latex suit. His dry answer: "I don't think there are enough drugs in the world to do it again."
But why did he play in "The Flash" in the first place? "There was such a big push for me to come back as Batman, as you know," Clooney told "Entertainment Tonight", not entirely seriously. "There was an outcry". He then asked where his rubber nipples from "Batman & Robin" (1997) were, Clooney continued. Also anything but serious.
It's not just because of the infamous rubber nipples on the Batsuit that "Batman & Robin" is considered legendarily bad. Clooney's only appearance as Batman until "The Flash" is considered the low point of the series about the Dark Knight from Gotham. The actor has already joked in the past that he wouldn't let his wife Amal Clooney (45) watch the movie.
Batman meeting in "The Flash"
In fact, George Clooney is said to have agreed to appear as Bruce Wayne in "The Flash" because he liked the movie. At least that's what "Flash" director Andy Muschietti (50) said.
Clooney is not the only ex-Batman actor to appear in the first solo of The Flash. Michael Keaton (72), who played the Batman in 1989 and 1992, even has a leading role. Ben Affleck (51) also appears in another dimension as Batman. And as a final gag, Barry Allen aka The Flash meets Clooney's Bruce Wayne in yet another reality.
