George Clooney doesn’t play Batman in Flash: he understands

They have Affleck, they have Keaton, so you must be wondering about Clooney. Next year DC is getting bigger his own multiverse in Flash, Andy Muschietti’s story about Barry Allen (Ezra Miller), which will not only include the beginnings of Supergirl (Sasha Calle), but a pair of Batmen played by familiar faces: Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck.

Keaton played the role from 1989 to 1992 while Affleck played it from 2016 to 2021. Roughly. In between, the cape and hood were also donned by Val Kilmer in the 1995s. Batman forever and George Clooney in the 1997s Batman and Robin. Kilmer’s health certainly pulled him out of the race, but Clooney still makes movies. Fans were surely curious if he could appear with his fellow Batman.

“They didn’t ask me,” Clooney said Variety this week. “When you destroy a franchise like I did, they usually look away when Flash come. Clooney was promoting his latest drama, The tender bar, which also stars Affleck. And although it is not clear if the two have talked about playing Caped Crusader, there’s one person Clooney definitely doesn’t talk about it with: his wife, Amal. “He won’t let me watch him,” she said of the movie; Clooney then added, “There are some movies that I just saw, ‘I want my wife to have a little respect for me. “” Clooney also said he would probably let his kids watch him eventually, even though he would be disappointed. if they didn’t like it.

We don’t know exactly how the two Batmans play out in Flash and even so, two seems more than enough to illustrate that different people, who are also the same superhero, exist in several universes. It would have been super awesome if Clooney had been invited back though—aAnd, to be honest, while we tend to believe him here, even if he had been questioned, he certainly couldn’t tell.

Flash, which also stars Kiersey Clemons, is due out in just over a year, the November 4, 2022.
