10 Weirdest Ever Cameos In Batman Movies

3. Jesse Ventura - Batman & Robin

While most Bat-fans have a mental block placed on Batman and Robin, wrestling fans would've had majorly raised eyebrows when WWE legend, occasional actor and future Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura showed up as a security guard at Arkham Asylum.

Ventura isn't just hanging out as a "background artist", though, he actually gets a few one-liners opposite Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman), before she plants a murderous lip-lock on him, bringing his small appearance to an abrupt end.

Ventura's cameo is especially amusing, however, given that his character is guarding Mr. Freeze, who happens to be played by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Ventura of course co-starred with Arnie in two of his most popular 80s action films, Predator and The Running Man.

It's fair to say that the third time most certainly wasn't the charm for their collaborations, though props to Ventura for not letting his involvement with the film tank his Governor bid less than two years later.
