Willem Dafoe's (Spider-Man) IMDB page says that the actor was once considered to play The Joker in Tim Burton's 1989 "Batman" film. To get the facts, MTV News sat down with Dafoe and asked him if there is any truth to that.
Dafoe said that the filmmakers never wanted him for The Joker role. They instead considered him for Batman, before Michael Keaton was eventually cast. "Very early, they talked to me about playing Batman," he revealed.
Dafoe continued: "I hate to spread these things because unless you remember it well, you're stoking the fires of bullsh*t. But I remember [it]. I've had my brush with these things."
