Sen. Leahy Lands Role in Batman Movie
BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) - Holy Beltway, Batman! Sen. Patrick Leahy has a part in the next Batman movie.
"I don't wear tights," the Vermont Democrat said.
Leahy's scene was filmed this summer for "The Dark Knight" and involves Batman, played by Christian Bale, The Joker, played by Heath Ledger, and Alfred Pennyworth, played by Michael Caine.
The longtime Batman fan would reveal little about his role other than he is called the "distinguished gentleman."
"It's a pretty tense scene," said Leahy, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. "It's going to be a very interesting one."
He's done voice-overs on Batman cartoons, written the preface for a Batman book and had small roles in the last two Batman features.
He said he will donate his earnings from the film to the Kellogg-Hubbard children's library in Montpelier, where the senator got his first library card.
"The Dark Knight" is scheduled to be released next summer.
Who is he playing???...THE JOKER??
perhaps two face....
If this democrat a-hole is so “concerned” with our troops, which dems are always saying they support, why didn’t he spend the time he spent on this stupid movie visiting Iraq?
Word is that Heath Ledger’s performance is even better than Nicholson’s joker character.
Well I am sure we will have a copy of the script, the plot plus a lot of pictures and other info on the net in short order...
That'll be a real stretch of acting, since he's never been one.
The Leaker.
Has he leaked the ending yet?
Any Batman movie named Dark Knight gets my $10 automatically.
Egghead
What’s his role in Batman—— “Rob”in the rich, to pay for the poor...?
It’s only a matter of hours now before the NY Times publishes Bat Man’s secret identity.
Nicholson's performance would be hard to top. I think he captured the nature of the Joker rather well. We'll have to wait and see.
Guess the Hollywood Dim connection is getting stronger.
Rush should have fun with this one. Barf!
His diaper fell off?
Leahy plays to type. He is an Al Qaeda operative working with a famed Nazi Hunter played by Dick Turban. They are taking secrets and handing them over to Al Qaeda cells when the cape crusader shows up and beats the crap out of them. There is a big love scene later in the film at a hospital between Leahy’s character and the character of the Penguin played by Hillary Clinton.
Sorry for the spoiler.
(What a GREAT comment! WTG!)
