Imagine this: Willem Dafoe cast as Batman in Tim Burton's original film.

The Green Goblin as Batman?
Dafoe on being considered for the Dark Knight.
October 28, 2009

The rumor mill may be obsessing now about who will be cast in Batman 3, but the juiciest Bat-rumor online today is about the Dark Knight who almost was.

MTV recently spoke with Oscar-nominated actor Willem Dafoe about rumors that he'd once been considered to play the Joker in Tim Burton's 1989 Batman movie. Dafoe went one better, though, and revealed that he almost played the title role itself!

"Very early, they talked to me about playing Batman," the Antichrist and Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant said. "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."

As we all know, Michael Keaton was controversially cast as the Caped Crusader opposite Jack Nicholson as the Clown Prince. Dafoe was 33 at the time that Batman was shot in 1988 (Keaton was 37). At that time, Dafoe was an Oscar nominee as Best Supporting Actor for his turn in Platoon and starred in the back-to-back controversial releases The Last Temptation of Christ and Mississippi Burning.

Dafoe later got his chance at starring in a comic book movie when he played the Green Goblin in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man franchise. Ironically enough, he also starred opposite future Batman Christian Bale in 2000's American Psycho.

Oooooh, nice! I like it.

 

[Hobgoblin]

The video or the idea of Willem as Batman?

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

He would have been the scariest looking Batman, that's for sure.

The video. I didn't feel like quoting it.

You gusy see the new footage for SHattered Dimensions? it sounds to me as though Steve BLum is voicing 2099 Hobgoblin. The laugh sounds so much like the Goblin's in TSSM.

 

[Hobgoblin]

I havent looked at it.

Here's all three films done in the 90's cartoon style.


And the first film's trailer done to Spectacular.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Nice.

 

[Original Spawn]

Am i the only one that like gren goblin´s film version?

 

[venom892]

I love the character but the costume could have been a bit better.

 

[Hobgoblin]

It has its moments but I would have preferred something different. Speaking of meh costumes:

I've wanted Hobgoblin back for some time, but I dont like the looks of this.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Oh, dear God. What is that?

 

[venom892]

It sucks because I've wanted Hobgoblin to return for years too,But I not going to read this Alternate reality spidey.

I sure hope it is an alternate reality.

 

[Chris Wallace]

That Spidey costume is absolutely hideous.

Exactly. The Hobgoblin costume isnt just a fail so is the Spidey getup. Its a fail-twofer.

A shame that in the 90's version they have to substitute Hydro-Man.

Great Osborn moment.
