George Clooney says there are not ‘enough drugs in the world’ to get him to play Batman again

George Clooney, the man who once donned the Batsuit but has no intentions of doing it again! In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, the beloved actor made it clear that he's not interested in playing Batman for a second time. And his reason? Well, it's quite cheeky, to say the least.

“I don't think there are enough drugs in the world for me to go back again,” Clooney jokingly told ET, putting an end to any hopes of a Batman comeback.

But wait, didn't we see him make a cameo appearance in The Flash earlier this year? Ah, yes! Clooney explained that he couldn't resist the fans' clamor for his return as the Caped Crusader. “I thought there was such a clamor for me to come back as Batman, as you know,” Clooney chuckled. “I actually said, ‘Where are my rubber nipples?' And they were like, ‘Can we do it without the rubber nipples?'”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Clooney's scene in The Flash was a last-minute change that was filmed six months before the movie's release.

Oh, those iconic rubber nipples! Who could forget Clooney's memorable Batsuit from the infamously criticized Batman & Robin? Well, it seems even the actor himself keeps a sense of humor about it, saying, “Well, it's not really my Batman, is it?”

In hindsight, Clooney has been quite vocal about his thoughts on Batman & Robin. He once disclosed to Deadline that he keeps a photo of himself as Batman in his office “as a cautionary reminder of what can happen when you make movies solely for commercial reasons.” Ouch!

Despite his reluctance to reprise the Batman role, we can't help but appreciate Clooney's wit and self-awareness
