It's too bad Marlon Brando never got the role, I would have loved to see his take on The Penguin, not that Danny Devito did a bad job, but Marlon Brando? Come on, get out a here!!

That would've been... ...weird. One of the greatest actors of all time, but, the Penguin? Really? I don't see it.

The Island of Dr. Moreau, the version with Val Kilmer, was terrible because Brando sucked up all the money for special effects to pay his salary.

Would like to see that re-done !

Ummm...sorry but he would have been a terrible penguin. Maybe another character...but not the penguin.

I think the Marlon Brando estate told him to keep that rumor quite. When he didnt they broke his pinky finger and sent him to publicly deny said rumor. Yeah I bet thats how it went down.
