Sometimes even the most famous actors have movies on their resume that they are not too proud of. For George Clooney , that movie is the 1997 ‘Batman’ film. Even after all these years, the 60-year-old still finds himself chatting about the time he played the superhero.

“I don’t want to get into all the bat nipples,” Clooney said, referring to a comment he made while being interviewed by Howard Stern.
“My work, where my bread is buttered, is the kind of films that I grew up in the ‘60s and ’70s, which is sort of the prime time for American filmmaking, which were all story-based,” the Oscar-winner said.
Clooney even admitted that he would not let his wife or children see him as Batman. “There are certain films I just go, ‘I want my wife to have some respect for me,’” Clooney said.
“I wasn‘t good in it, it wasn’t a good film. What I learned from that failure was that I had to relearn how I was working,” the 60-year-old said.
“Now, I wasn‘t just an actor getting a role, I was being held responsible for the film itself,” he added.
