Re: Batman debuts in the UK

Clint Eastwood as Two-Face?

I have long heard that the series had planned, presumably for the never-made fourth season for NBC, to make an episode with Clint Eastwood as the villian, playing Two-Face. Obviously it was never made, but bow far along in stages of development had it been planned? Had Clint been informally asked, s...
