The 'Ocean's Eleven' actor agrees that the 1997 Caped Crusader movie was not a good movie and bans his wife and kids from watching the DC superhero film.

AceShowbiz - George Clooney agrees with criticism of his turn as The Caped Crusader in 1997 movie "Batman & Robin".

The actor spoke at a Q&A after a screening of "The Tender Bar", which he directed, and was asked about acting in big-budget blockbuster movies, according to People.

Reflecting on his late '90s flop, the star quipped, "I did one superhero movie and I f**ked it up so bad they won't let me near the set."

Despite following in the celebrated footsteps of Michael Keaton and Val Kilmer, "Batman & Robin" was a critical and commercial failure and halted the franchise for several years.

One of the biggest criticisms of the movie was the costume, but Clooney refused to discuss "all the bat nipples" - a talking point of the outfit - during the appearance.

"My work, where my bread is buttered, is the kind of films that I grew up in the '60s and '70s, which is sort of the prime time for American filmmaking, which were all story-based," he insisted.

Clooney recently revealed he won't even let his children, four-year-old twins Alexander and Ella, or his wife Amal, watch "Batman & Robin", but it did help inform how he should move on with his career.

"I wasn't good in it, it wasn't a good film. What I learned from that failure was that I had to relearn how I was working," he said.

"Now, I wasn't just an actor getting a role, I was being held responsible for the film itself."
