Actor George Clooney says there are “not enough drugs in the world” to convince him to reprise his role as Batman.

Clooney starred in the universally panned 1997 Batman and Robin film, considered by some to be one of the worst superhero flicks to grace the big screen. Despite its terrible reviews, scoring a 3.8/10 on Rotten Tomatoes, the film is still capable of raising a laugh or two.

It saw Clooney joined by Chris O’Donnell as Robin, Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy, Jim Carey as the Joker and Arnold Schwarzeneggar as Mr Freeze. It’s star power however wasn’t enough to save it, and as a result Batman was shelves until it returned for Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, reports the Mirror.

When Clooney, 70, appeared on Entertainment Tonight, they couldn’t help but ask if he would consider pulling on the iconic rubber suit once more. It was then the actor said there were not enough substances to make him think it’s a good idea.

Although he did reveal there had been a “clamour” for a sequel. Apparently this prompted a fan to pull a face at the star, and to which he reacted in a typically jovial way. He said: “Why are you making that face? I saw the face!

There was a clamour! I actually said, ‘Where are my rubber nipples!’ They were like, ‘Can we do it without the rubber nipples?’ I was like, ‘It’s not really my Batman, is it?’”

One review for the film on Rotten Tomatoes reads: “Batman & Robin is fun in exactly one way: Fun to laugh at. It’s terrible, God is it terrible, but it’s terrible in that right kind of way. Doesn’t stop it from being terrible, but does make it worth watching.”

A second said: “It’s not good, but it’s not the total disaster its legacy would suggest.”

Clooney always seems happy to have a laugh at the film. He recently quipped his appearance in The Flash was a one-off after The Hollywood Reporter asked if his stint back in the world of superheroes and supervillains meant he might be back as Batman.

He said: “Oh yeah. Somehow there were not a lot of requests for me to reprise my role as Batman, I don’t know why.” In 2021 George said about the film: “I did one superhero movie and I f––ed it up so bad they won’t let me near the set.”
