He made a reference in jest about playing Batman in front of the crowd. He said, “When you think of me, you think,” He’s just the best Batman of all time.

This statement left the audience shocked. “No, I know what you’re thinking… the best Batman? Yes, “he said, adding, “I mean, Ben Affleck, really? “No, he’s got nothing on me.”

Clooney played the famous and much-loved superhero in the 1997 movie Batman and Robin. This movie starred Chris O’Donnell, Uma Thurman, Alicia Silverstone, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. This movie was later labelled as a critical and commercial failure.

Clooney has been known to mock this film in various instances for being an immense failure. Warner Bros. is known to have wanted to cancel the Batman films after George Clooney’s performance in Batman and Robin. Batman underwent a revival with Christopher Nolan playing the Caped Crusader. This was when the box office was once more drawn.
