SAGA BATMAN

BATMAN de Joe Dante, John Lithgow como el Joker

This was right after Gremlins, and Tom Mankiewicz, who had written a lot of James Bond movies, had done this take on Batman which was certainly not Chris Nolan-dark, was certainly darker than the TV version. It started with his parents being killed, and it was a revenge story. But it was very outlandish, had a lot of giant props in it. The Joker was a major character in it. I wanted to hire John Lithgow for that part because I had met him on The Twilight Zone movie. And for whatever reason, I started to gravitate more towards The Joker than towards Batman. And I actually woke up one night and I said to myself, “I can’t do this movie—I’m more interested in The Joker than I am in Batman, and that’s not the way it should be.” So I went and told them that I couldn’t do it, and they looked at me like I’d completely lost my mind.

Curioso porque el motivo por el que no la hizo ha sido precisamente la principal queja popular contra la de Burton durante bastante tiempo.
 
hubiera molado un Joker de Lithgow, viendo los roles que ha sabido dominar con mano maestra ( mencion especial para su villano de Dexter )

Yeah, i can see it...
 
Realmente hubiera sido interesante ver una adaptación de Batman de la mano de Dante, sobretodo viendo que quería a Lithgow como el Joker. Una pena.
 
Siempre he creído que en las de Burton el Batmóvil se comía un poco al resto de juguetitos. Ni al Batwing ni al batsubmarino les sacaron demasiado juego...
