Nick Cage wants to be in THE BATMAN sequel.

And you will not be surprised at his desired role:

“I like… oh, here’s something, I’ve been thinking about this, because we have this new, Robert Pattinson as the Batman, which I haven’t seen it yet, but I think he would be terrific, the villain that Vincent Price played on the ’60s show, Egghead. I think I want to have a go at Egghead. I think I could make him absolutely terrifying. And I have a concept for Egghead. So let them know over at Warner Bros. I’m down for Egghead.”

…I know, right? Classic Nick Cage: it makes no sense, and yet it does. And, amazingly, he’s picked a Batman villain who fits with THE BATMAN’s aesthetic. Egghead displays a physical oddity, has no powers besides his towering intellect, and is as crazy as an outhouse rat. I can see the villain fitting into the sequel.

Oh, and Cage should go see THE BATMAN. It’s good. I liked it.
