‘Obviously I Didn’t Get the Job’: How James Bond and Black Adam Star Pierce Brosnan’s Dirty Sense of Humor Ruined His Chance to Play Batman

Pierce Brosnan, the fifth actor to play the role of James Bond, starred in four films in the Bond Film series from 1995 to 2002. Although he achieved great fame through these successes and this role, his meaning not so witty humor cost him the role of “Batman” in the Tim Burton film. Well, it’s a very sad but still “funny” joke about what made him lose. However, he’s now been cast in a superhero role that should be spectacular.

Pierce Brosnan, after discussing the journey from paintings to movies, was asked by Jimmy Fallon about superhero roles. To which Brosnan replied that he had been offered a role a long time ago. He was to play the role of Batman for Tim Burton’s “Batman” in 1989. For some reason, he thought to ask Burton a quick question. He calls this question a “dumb joke”, which involved wearing underwear over pants.

“I remember saying something stupid to Tim Burton. I said, ‘You know, I don’t understand a man wearing his underpants outside his pants.’

Pierce Brosnan thinks it was fate to be cast as Dr. Fate

The role of Batman went to Michael Keaton, who played the role well and is rightfully rated by Pierce Brosnan as the best man for the job. Although he didn’t get the superhero role in the 1980s, he is now set to play the superhero role of Dr. Fate in the upcoming movie, “Black Adam”.

But lo and behold, the best man got the job, and you know, Doctor Fate and I were supposed to meet on the same page, I think,” he said.
