“Halloween is an important holiday. My son went as Batman. He hadn’t seen Batman yet,” the Hollywood star said.
“I always tell him, ‘You know I was Batman.’ He always replies, ‘No.’ I don’t know if he realized how deep it was when he said I wasn’t Batman,” which reportedly became the trigger for him to make his son watch the 1997 film.
“A few weeks ago, I finally showed him the movie. It’s not good for adults, but it’s great for eight-year-olds, so he loved it,” he noted.
George Clooney played the Dark Knight alongside Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy, Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze, and Chris O’Donnell as his partner Robin.

Considered by many fans of the character to be one of the worst Batman films, George Clooney said his version negatively affected the hero’s subsequent movies.
In 2021, he was asked whether he would make a special appearance in the film “The Flash,” which featured Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck, two actors who had also worn the Batman mantle.
“They didn’t call me,” he told Marc Malkin of Variety. “When you destroy a franchise the way I destroyed it, they usually pretend you don’t exist when ‘The Flash’ comes out,” he replied.
