On the latest episode of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman, George Clooney talked about the time he visited Sudan and had an AK-47 pointed to his chest by a 14-year-old kid who made him get on his knees and tried to steal his truck.

“It’s not because he saw Batman?” Letterman asked, interrupting what sounded like a mildly important story.

“No, if he’d seen Batman, he would have shot me right there,” Clooney replied. “He’d of been like, ‘I know you! You put nipples on the batsuit!’ … ‘Get me the director, I’m going to shoot him, too!’”

The Batman and Robin movie released in 1997, which starred Clooney, was an epic failure and scores a paltry 10% according to Rotten Tomatoes.directed by Joel Schumacher, Clooney even apologized for the jokey, family friendly mess of a movie.
