George Clooney has refused to pass any comments on Ben Affleck's Batman casting, asserting that he is the least qualified person to comment on anyone playing the super hero role because he destroyed the part himself.

The 'Ocean's 13' star, who has worked with Affleck on several projects, explained to Empire Magazine that everyone should at least see the movie first before criticizing his fellow actor, Metro.co.uk reported.

The Hollywood heart-throb asserted that the 'Agro' star is a smart man and knows what he is doing.

Clooney had starred in the highly criticized 1997 movie 'Batman and Robin'.
