Joshua Jackson was Almost Batman

According to those incredibly good looking hand puppets at TheMovieBlog Joshua Jackson ( SHUTTER ) was almost cast in the Batman films.

“I went and did the screen test,” “Shutter” star Joshua Jackson revealed to MTV News. “I was one the last four or five guys [up for the role of Batman.]”  Jackson as Batman over Christian Bale? It’s hard to believe how different the film would have been had he nabbed the part – perhaps most of all to Jackson himself.

“I don’t like to lose any job, but they cast the right guy,” he said. “I mean, Christian Bale was excellent. I don’t really think of myself in a sort of comic book hero way, you know what I mean? This might be why I didn’t get that job.”

Could you imagine anyone other then Christian Bale as The Dark Knight? I am a big fan of Christans job and if they cast somebody else  I would have to jump up on my chair and scream ‘NOT THE REAL BATMAN’. Like when Val Kilmer played batman after Michael Keaton.
