		</div><p>George Clooney has revealed the advice he gave to Ben Affleck over taking on the Batman role – don’t do it.</p>
<p>Clooney infamously played the Caped Crusader in 1997’s Batman &; Robin, which was panned by critics and is regularly cited as one of the worst superhero films ever.</p>
<p>Before Affleck signed on to play the Dark Knight in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice, Clooney admitted he tried to talk him out of the film.</p>
<p>Clooney told The Hollywood Reporter: “I actually did talk to him about it. I said, ‘Don’t do it’.</p>

<p>“It was only from my experience, which is, you know…”.</p>
<p>Affleck returned as Batman in 2017’s Justice League, however he will not be reprising the role in the next Dark Knight film, set for release in 2021.</p>
<p>Batman &; Robin was directed by Joel Schumacher and also starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as the villain Mr Freeze.</p>
<p>Clooney, whose career recovered from the critical drubbing dished out to the film, said the experience changed how he approached roles.</p>
<p>He said: “Schwarzenegger was paid, I think, 25 million dollars for that, which was like 20 times more than I was paid for it, and, you know, we never even worked together! We worked together one day. But I took all the heat.</p>
<p>“Now, fair deal; I was playing Batman and I wasn’t good in it, and it wasn’t a good film, but what I learned from that failure was, I had to rethink how I was working.</p>
<p>“Because now I wasn’t just an actor getting a role, I was being held responsible for the film itself.”</p>
