ALIENS star Michael Biehn reveals he was almost cast in Tim Burton’s BATMAN

It seems that Michael Biehn has come very close to playing Batman in Tim Burton’s 1989 film, before Michael Keaton got the role.

In a clip from the latest episode of him Just fooling around Podcast, the Terminator And Aliens Star revealed that he had two meetings with Burton to audition for the role of the Dark Knight in the hero’s first big screen appearance.

According to Biehn, Burton was considering two sets of actors at the time: himself as Batman alongside Robin Williams as the Joker, and Keaton and Jack Nicholson, who were ultimately cast.

We knew back then that Williams was set to play the Clown Prince of Crime, but this is the first time Biehn’s name has been mentioned in connection with the Caped Crusader. He certainly would have been an interesting choice for the character, but Keaton wasn’t exactly considered the most conventional choice either, and many fans still consider him to be the best live-action version of the iconic DC Comics hero yet.

Biehn appeared in an episode of The Mandalorianis the second season and will make its mainstream comeback on the big screen in Adam Wingard’s action horror film. Rush.

The film also stars Adria Arjona, Reginald VelJohnson, Dan Stevens, Drew Starkey and UFC light heavyweight champion Alex “Poatan” Pereira. Plot details are still pretty vague, but we do know that Arjona will play “a mother living in a trailer who draws on certain skills to protect her loved ones after she faces a threat that has eluded a secret. “Military base.”

Biehn will play the leader of an elite group of mercenaries trying to contain the threat. VelJohnson, like Wareheim, plays a member of the mother’s trailer park community. Pereira is the main villain of the story, a character called The Butcher. Stevens will play a German scientist working on the escaped experiments.
