Mel Gibson

Mad Max and Lethal Weapon fame Mel Gibson is another actor who was considered for the role of the Caped Crusader for Tim Burton's Batman. He wasn't as uninterested as Pierce Brosnan "“ he was actually tied up with the second installment of Lethal Weapon film series for which he had to turn down the role.

Willem Dafoe

You might have heard that the Green Goblin of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man film series, Willem Dafoe, was considered for the role of another epic comic book villain "“ The Joker "“ for Tim Burton's Batman. Many of you might think that it would have been a great casting choice, but actually, it's a false rumor! Even though he was considered for a role in the movie, it wasn't that of The Joker. Willem was in talks for the role of the titular superhero! Can you believe it? Well, I would say, thankfully he didn't play the role for whatever reason it is – I cannot imagine the Green Goblin as Batman, can you?

Among the two actors on the following page, one is none other than Han Solo!
