There is really only one thing that I love more than dance shows, and that’s anything based on a comic book. And of al of the comic book superheroes, Batman is my favorite. I mean, I have a serious thing for the Caped Crusader – he adorns the walls in my house and I have a HUGE Batman print above my bed. (Yes, my husband is VERY understanding)
Well, now it’s come out that Wllem Dafoe was once in talks to play Batman in Tim Burton’s 1989 film. I’m not sure how I feel about this. I mean, I love Willem, but he doesn’t exactly scream Batman to me. Of course, neither did Michael Keaton and some would argue that he was the best Batman yet. (I would disagree fervently lol)
Anyway – here is what Willem had to say about it -
”Very early, they talked to me about playing Batman – I hate to spread these things because unless you remember it well, you’re stoking the fires of bulls***. But I remember [it]. I’ve had my brush with these things.”
Hahahaha – “I’ve had my brush with these things.” How does he always manage to come across classy and cocky all at the same time?! Maybe he could have pulled off Batman!
