It was just reported that the next Batman movie could be delayed. That just gives more time for folks to grasp at the Bat-rumors.
One rumor has pegged Paul Giamatti as the Penguin. Could it work? Would we want to see Penguin again? What does Paul Giamatti, himself, think of being associated as this Bat-villain? MTV asked him.
It appears that MTV's player might be acting a little wonky. Hopefully this will fix itself.
Here's what was said:
“That would be fantastic,” Giamatti told MTV News. “I’d love to do that.”
Giamatti claimed he hadn’t heard about the rumors casting him as the Batman villain last played by Danny DeVito (and before that, by Burgess Meredith), but said he’d be honored to play the classic Batman villain.
“You know, I’m still stuck back in the ‘Batman’ TV show days,” confessed Giamatti. “That’s what I grew up watching, so I never followed the more current stuff. But The Penguin would be great to do.”
