My fear, Ed gets Tor Johnson to play Mr. Freeze, if said character exists yet. In OTL, he came about in 1959, but with this universe, I don't know...

In any case the character, originally called Mr Zero, was not a big villain by any means until his revival many years later. Actually the same is also true of the Riddler, more surprisingly.

no way but there are several american who could work as the joker, maybe anthony perkins and he did actually star in a orson welles film. Also we have the fact that the guy was bisexual which would probably mean that he would seek some place to live other than the United States.
at this time he would be a Two-bit gimmick Character, rather than the Tragic figure BTaS portrayed him as.
It would have to be the Joker, or maybe the Monk.
gotta be the Joker, a batman movie without him would just be ok and good
the joker is what makes it awesome
Oh frankly I think its more positive that we prefer to focus on fluff than to imagine the hell thoses people are going to go through (at least with the same level of excitation)
it's nice to discover a brilliant thread after it's all been written;you've got a good luxuriant read from part one.
wow... that's something I never thought I would ever hear

Did Tor Johnson follow Ed Wood across the atlantic ITL?
I was wondering, if Wood remains interested in wrestling he may take interest in the UK scene, and possibly Pat Roach gets a much earlier debut on film?
Or even one of the older chracters who'd still be active at the time, like Shirley Crabtree (not yet called Big Daddy, though) or Mick McManus?
I'm pulling for Vincent Price as the Joker.
He would be perfect for the part

No! It's gotta be Orson himself!
we've already seen that Orson's too serious for the role to be played well by him. Price can be both funny and scary at the same time, just like the Joker is supposed to be.
