Pierce Brosnan reveals the “stupid” comment that cost him Batman role over Michael Keaton

Newsroom October 14 05:00

Pierce Brosnan could have added another iconic role to his repertoire – if it weren’t for a “stupid” comment he made.

The former James Bond actor appeared on The Tonight Show on Tuesday (11 October) where he revealed that he auditioned for Tim Burton’s Batman(1989).

“I went up for Batman way back in the day when Tim Burton was doing it. Obviously, I didn’t get the job,” Brosnan told host Jimmy Fallon.

He continued: “I remember saying something stupid to Tim Burton, I said, ‘You know I can’t understand any man who would wear his underpants outside his trousers.’ But there you go… the best man got the job.”

The role, of course, went to Michael Keaton who also starred in the 1992 sequel, Batman Returns.
