Either for DC or Marvel. Who do you think he should play?

Unfortunately, I think he's a bit too old now. He would of been a good super villain in his younger days.

He was very close to been cast as The Joker in the Tim Burton's Batman. I have heard that he was Burton's first choice but the studio want the bigger name.
He was close again to playing The Joker in the cartoon series. He did the voice in the pilot show but was too scary!

It would have to be a villain that smiles, Tim does have the most mischievous smile.

Cool. That would have been interesting to see him as the joker in the Tim Burton version. As much as I love Nicholson's joker. I think Curry would have been even better!
