HOLLYWOOD - Russell Crowe will make a surprise appearance in the next Batman movie, Caped Crusader star Christian Bale has revealed.
Bale let the secret slip during an interview to promote 3:10 to Yuma, in which both actors star. He told iF Magazine, "Russell's going to actually be in the new Batman movie, which is a big surprise and I want to reveal it to everybody right now."
Bale refused to reveal if Crowe will play a villain in The Dark Knight - which is due for release next year.

This is an article from August 2007.Its obviously not that recent,but has anyone else heard anything along these lines?August of 2007 would mean that Ledger would have already been signed for the role as The Joker,so i dont think its possible that Crowe was supposed to play The Joker initially.
