George Clooney still apologizes for "Batman & Robin". Appearing on "The Graham Norton Show" to talk about his latest movie "Tomorrowland", the 54-year-old hunk said, "I did 'Batman & Robin'...which was a disaster. Other than that, there's never been a reason for me to go to Comic-Con."

When the host pointed out that Clooney had apologized before for the critically-panned movie, the Emmy-winning actor replied, "I always apologize for 'Batman & Robin'. Let me just say that I actually thought I destroyed the franchise, ya know, until they brought it back and changed it."

While most actors would gain more prominence after taking a superhero role, Clooney thought he made a bad career move with playing the Caped Crusader in the 1997 movie. "I thought at the time, this was going to be a good career move. Um, it wasn't," he added.

Clooney went on talking about wearing the heavy suit and drew laughs when mimicking director Joel Schumacher, who was in charge of "Batman & Robin".

Clooney's new sci-fi film "Tomorrowland" was released in U.S. theaters on May 22. The Brad Bird-directed film debuted at No. 1 on North American box office despite a disappointing opening of around $32.1 million.
