My question was just slightly different and this was the best question/answer combo I found so I wanted to share my solution stolen from Clint's answer. If you need like me to restrict from a list of couple of routes like /static and /fail, the following worked for me:

app.get(/^(?!(\/static|\/fail)).*$/, function(req, res, next){

  //Do your thing in here...
});

If you are saying you want to create one route for everything but /static* then here is the command for creating the GET route:

app.get(/^((?!\/static).)*$/, function(req, res){

    //Do your thing in here...
});
