VIDEO : John Lithgow: I Regret Passing On Playing The Joker

Harry and the Hendersons and 3rd Rock From the Sun star John Lithgow could have played The Joker in Tim Burton's Batman, and still regrets turning the job down. Apparently, Lithgow didn't realize that Batman was going to kick off a superhero craze that would not completely die down until... ...well, we're still waiting. ?My worst audition was for Tim Burton for Batman,? Lithgow told Vulture (via Yahoo!) About a week later I heard they were going after Robin Williams and Jack Nicholson.?
