As some Batfans will already be aware, the late, great Corey Haim auditioned to play the role of Robin for Batman Forever, but was beaten out by Chris O'Donnell. Haim had previously worked with Joel Schumacher on The Lost Boys and was obviously looking to revive their team-up.

Despite missing out, he did get a very, very brief chance to do so, as he actually appears in Batman & Robin for all of about 2 seconds as one of the Warrior-like biker gang members that O'Donnell and Alicia Silverstone race against. He's not even credited.

There's also an appearance for a couple of droogs from A Clockwork Orange as members of the biker gang entourage

And of course, the same scene saw an appearance by Coolio, who apparently campaigned to play the Scarecrow in the planned follow-up Batman Unchained.
