Before Tim Burton put his dark vision of the Caped Crusader on screen, there was a campier, more fun-loving Batman pitch on the horizon, with Bill Murray playing the lead. While we all know Bill Murray can pull off Bruce Wayne’s smarmy millionaire/likable troubled guy schtick better than George Clooney and Val Kilmer combined, I’m really interested in what Murray’s tongue-in-cheek Bats would have been like. Murray told MTV, “”I would have been a fine Batman. You know, there have been a number of Batmen. I like them… I thought Mike Keaton did a great job as Batman. It’s obviously — it’s a great role.” [MTV]
