During a recent AMA on Reddit, former James Bond actor, Pierce Brosnan was asked by a random fan if he was ever considered for the role of Batman. The fan in question thought he would have been great for the part, but unfortunately for them, Brosnan confirmed and crushed their dream casting in the statement below.
"Yes, I did. I went and met with Tim Burton for the role of Batman. But I just couldn't really take it seriously, any man who wears his underpants outside his pants just cannot be taken seriously. That was my foolish take on it. It was a joke, I thought. But how wrong was I?"
He went on to say:
"Don't get me wrong, because I love Batman, and I grew up on Batman. As a kid in Ireland, we used to get our raincoats and tie them round our neck and swing through the bicycle shed."
In all seriousness, though, Brosnan definitely would have looked like he stepped right out of a Neal Adams Batman panel, right?
