George Clooney has said he had no idea about the Bat-Nipples.

The actor, who played the superhero in Joel Schumacher's critically panned 1997 sequel Batman & Robin, often cited as the worst superhero movie ever, told Bravo's Inside the Actors Studio that the role "did not go well".

"They put nipples on the batsuit. I didn't know they would do that," he said.

Clooney added: "If Batman had to wear the suit that you have to wear, everyone would die.

"You're laying on a board like this and you can't move and they just prop you up and you're like, 'I'm Batman'."


Of working under Schumacher, Clooney quipped: "Joel was very funny, because he'd be like, 'Okay George, remember. Your parents are dead, you have nothing to live for. And action!'"

Oh man, that's some great directing right there.

Digital Spy has collected a few other times that Clooney has discussed the infamous role in the original article, so head there in case you missed Clooney previously discussing his Batman experience.
