GEORGE CLOONEY - CLOONEY: 'SPIDER-MAN VS BATMAN ENCOUNTER ISN'T ALL THAT'

GEORGE CLOONEY is warning comic book fans not to get too excited about the prospect of seeing BATMAN and SPIDER-MAN fight it out in his new movie THE GOOD GERMAN - the scene features two actors trying not to re-injure their backs. Clooney fears some filmgoers will hit the cinema to see him scrap with Spider-Man star TOBEY MAGUIRE in the period war film, but he insists the fight scene between them was ridiculous. The movie hunk, who is still recovering from 2005 back surgery to stop spinal fluid leaking into his brain, says, "It's Spiderman versus an old Batman, and Tobey's bigger than you think. He's a strong kid... I think he takes me two out of three. "But, in reality, both of us have bad backs and we have to be really careful. He had it really bad doing SEABISCUIT and injured mine making SYRIANA."
