[on his typecasting as The Caped Crusader] It was inescapable. I’d just about land something substantial, something I like or a good career move. Then some dinosaur would rear up and say, “But the audience will think of him as Batman.” It was formidable. It was there like a brick wall.
[on his being passed over for Tim Burton‘s 1989 Batman (1989)] I cried for an hour, but then I was okay. I wanted it! I don’t know. I figured that’s their business and they have a film in mind. I’ve already done it. I’ve done my Batman. Look, do you want the classic Coke or the new stuff? Maybe both. I do know that I’m disappointed not to have had a chance to play Batman, but they have their vision and I have mine.
