Josh Brolin – who has filled the formidable comic book shoes of Cable in the Deadpool movies, and of course, Thanos – was reflecting on the fact that he was almost cast as Batman when Zack Snyder eventually chose Ben Affleck. While doing so, he also defended George Clooney, who many consider to be the star of the worst Batman movie. Speaking to the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Brolin says he would have played an “older, more raspy” version of the character.
