I just found out that the future Joker, Joaquin Phoenix previously appeared on season 1 episode 20 of the Superboy TV Series. (which is available here on DCU if anyone didn’t know)
He played a boy genius who befriends Superboy/Clark and even donned a Superboy suit in a dream sequence. It was season 1 of Superboy so not a stellar episode, but still cool to know he had that kind of ties to DC Comics adaptions before. Starting to thinke veryone was on a DC TV show/Movie at some point.
Adding on to the crazy train, because of today’s DC Daily, I learned that Jackie Earle Haley (i. e. Rorschach in Watchmen) was on an episode of the 1974 Shazam! TV show - the same one that is now here on DCU! (The episode is ‘The Delinquent’).
So this man has now appeared in four DC Universe properties:
-Shazam!
-Watchmen
-The Human Target
-Preacher
Sorry for hijacking, Dan - but this seemed to be a good place to share my amazement.
I remember that episode of Superboy. I saw it when it first aired. When they aired the rerun I had just seen Parenthood and I was so surprised to see he was in both.
