It's no joke - Orson Welles as Batman

[tzikeh]

He was going to make the first Batman movie, and had signed some of the very best actors *ever* to play roles.

Ok, we need a time machine. We have to go back and make this happen.

And now I'll stop spamming my friends.

That would have been awesome, T.

I'm so disappointed now it didn't happen.

George Raft signing up for Two-Face (after Bogart turned it down), James Cagney as The Riddler, Basil Rathbone as The Joker and Welles' former lover Marlene Dietrich as a very exotic Catwoman

Yes! Yes, damn it, yes!

tzikeh --make it so!

Surely we can alter the space-time continuum for something of this magnitude.

Me too! Can you imagine what this film would have been like...

Oh man, if only I had that power. Can you *imagine*.

Damn, that would have ROCKED. He should have said, "No, no, we'll have Gregory Peck play Superman." Because that would have worked too.

Oh my gosh, that *SO* would have worked.

Have you seen the icon around lj-land with the head-shot of Gregory Peck - that says "I love you, a bushel and a me."

I can just hear it in his voice. ;)

Maybe Joseph Cotton as Commissioner Gordon?
