When it comes to superhero movie casting, history is rife with "almosts" and "what-ifs." From Tom Cruise's potential run as Iron Man to Dougray Scott originally being cast as Wolverine until Hugh Jackman was cast last minute, cinematic universes could have looked very different had some actors made alternative choices. In the realm of Gotham's brooding vigilante, Batman has been portrayed by a myriad of actors, from Michael Keaton to Ben Affleck. However, fans recently got a startling revelation about a major actor who had the opportunity to don the cape and cowl but turned it down. Ray Liotta, the esteemed late star of Goodfellas and Field of Dreams, once had the chance to be the Dark Knight, and his reason for turning it down is both candid and retrospectively regretful.
