George Clooney opens up on why he 'won't let' wife Amal watch 'Batman & Robin'

George Clooney in 1997 took on the role of the caped crusader for the movie Batman & Robin. Though the movie had a moderate collection at the box office, it received generally negative reviews and is often considered to be one of the worst films ever made. Since then, Clooney hasn't reprised his role as the dark knight. Recently, at the special screening of his movie Tender Bar, the actor joked about how he wasn't asked to reprise his role along with Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck in the 2022 movie The Flash and said that he would never let his wife Amal Clooney watch Batman & Robin.

In a conversation with Variety, Clooney was asked if he would reprise his role as Batman in the upcoming The Flash movie like Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton. The actor joked that "They didn’t ask me," he added, "When you destroy a franchise the way I did, usually they look the other way when The Flash comes by."

The actor's wife, Amal Clooney chimed in and said, "He won’t let me watch it," to which the Ocean's Eleven actor replied, "There are certain films I just go, ‘I want my wife to have some respect for me.’" When Amal stated that their twins Alexander and Ella will want to see it, George jokingly said, "It’s bad when your four-year-old kid goes, ‘This s**ks.’ That could be painful."
