[net.comics] The Batman Movie

I heard a rumor that Peter O'Toole has been signed up for the part of
The Joker in the expected Batman movie.  Anyone else hear anything
like this?

I dunno.... O'Toole is my favorite actor, just about, but The Joker?  I'm
not sure O'Toole is capable of a manic grin and un-tired eyes -- he's been
looking pretty mellow lately.  I'd go more for Malcom McDowell...

	I read that someone wanted Peter O'Toole to play the part
of the Joker and someone else wanted Malcolm McDowell (sp?).  I
personally could see no one else play this Legendary Character than
Jack Nicholson.  The man eats Crazy Critters for breakfast.  He is
a marvelous actor.
