on George Clooney jokes about killing Batman and those big rubber nipples

ComicBook.com caught up with Batman & Robin's George Clooney at CinemaCon this week. Clooney was asked what the thought of his friend Ben Affleck's take on Batman. Clooney joked that he killed Batman, and is surprised he still has a career!

"Well I haven't seen it, you know? Because I feel that Batman died with me," Clooney joked. "As you can imagine, don't you guys feel the same way? Let me just point this out, I wore a rubber suit and giant rubber nipples, and I still have a career."

Speaking of CinemaCon... Warner Bros. will be presenting their slate of movies tonight at 7:30pm ET. Stay tuned to Batman News for any news they may drop about upcoming DC Comics movies!

        That's pretty much an updated version of the Clooney Batsuit, lol

          This is the most ridiculous statement i've read in a long time.

            Blind or just in denial?

            Only amazed at your ridiculous comments, decide what suit you try to crap on first, the classic one with a highlighted poster design or the tactical suit under white light, on a still frame from a moving scene...
            I guess you blind yourself in hate.

            Just did a quick search and realized I'm not the only person who finds the similarities with the Clooney suit.

            It's way too obvious. People are just in denial here.

            No need for name calling. It's an argument about a suit.

            Lol how old are you?

            Wow people are in denial here. Who cares if it's an armor. The point is that the design looks similar.

            Yes similar in the fact that it's a bat suit, has a cape, belt, cowl... that's it.

            Does the same apply for all the other people that think the suits are similar?

          Do you really believe that the suit has an actual silver Bat symbol?
          We're not in denial, and calling us blind won't help your ridiculous argument.
          And how the hell is the design similar? Because of the color on the symbol? Now putting on purpose a different color on a symbol, for the sake of marketing, suddenly changes an entire suit, even though the suit has a legit black one?
          Oh wow.... ok.

            I'm not the only one who sees the similarities, just saying.

            If you don't agree with me that's fine.

      Pretty much the only reason the movie was made in the first place.

    To me, Clooney was the right Bruce Wayne in the wrong (completely!!!) Batman movie. Btw, he is a nice guy.

    And here i was posting the Eternal Cover to compare to the JLA teaser... Trokia is famous for putting the Burton suit into the comics and the Gargoyle is a skeleton:

    "The Doomsday Clock" is the title, of course. KGBeast is featured too.

    I say thank you Schumacher. If he made a successful film, we'd have more mediocrity and probably wouldn't have gotten the Nolan Trilogy.

    When I was ten I thought Batman and Robin was awesome... proof that a ten year old kid should have a strong moral upbringing raised by parents who actually love their child as well as have exceptional opportunities in education ... now I'm 47, lifelong drug addict, a convicted felon who doesn't have any friends and using the public library's computer to make this comment... and I still don't know how to read.

    Very rude, I didin't like this joke.

    I'd rather watch a Batman &Robin over BvS any day of the week. It's more faithful to the source material for one, and second, I don't want to kill myself if a fit of depression afterwards.

      Yes. B&R may be bad, but it's still enjoyable and funny. BvS is a slog to sit through.

    Clooney is pretty lucky. That movie could've easily killed his career. The fact that he was able to bounce back and go on to win an Oscar and become a director should give hope to a lot of other actors. And it's good to see that he's very humble about it. You never hear him trying to defend his performance or blame anyone else, even though the blame really should go to his director. What I find amusing is that, of all the actors who played Batman on the big screen, Clooney is probably the one who's had the best post-Batman career. Bale is doing well. Keaton was floundering until Birdman came along, which itself depended heavily on Keaton's prior involvement with Batman. And then there's poor Val Kilmer.
