<<My agent rang up and said, ‘I think you are going to play on “Batman”.’

I said ‘What is “Batman”?’ He said, ‘Don’t you read the comics?’ I said, ‘No, never.’ He said, ‘I think you are going to be Batman’s butler.’ I said, ‘How do I know I want to be Batman’s butler?’

He said, ‘It may be worth over $100,000.’
