It's no secret that Harrison Ford has had a truly robust career. From Star Wars to Indiana Jones, he's contributed to almost every major fandom.

He also recently became a part of the Marvel Universe by appearing in Captain America: Brave New World as Thaddeus Ross after the death of the character's previous performer, William Hurt.

But according to entertainment interviewer Joshua Horowitz, Harrison Ford could have played a key role in the DC Universe, too.

During the interview, Horowitz asked Ford:

"This is your first superhero film, as it were. Did Batman ever come up?"
"Tim Burton said that you were on the list to play Batman way back when."

And Harrison Ford's reaction was priceless.

"Oh s**t!"

Horowitz then tried to comfort the spiraling actor.

"I'm sorry. Oh, no! It never got to you? It's okay..."

Appearing dazed, Ford asked:

"I could have had a career."

This would have been the Batman role that was brought to life by Michael Keaton—and while it's impossible to imagine the role without his unique take on the character, it's also hilarious watching Ford's reaction to this news.

With the length of his career and how busy he's been, Ford may have forgotten that this opportunity ever existed, or maybe the wires really did get crossed and he never even knew the role was a possibility.

But given Harrison Ford's incredible sense of humor in films and interviews, he likely was playing up the moment.

Either way, fans of Harrison Ford were left cackling over his reaction.

Harrison Ford is one of those tremendously prolific actors who has collected roles like people collect Pokémon (gotta catch 'em all!), and he's performed arguably well every single time.

If a Batman role were to open up for him, like an older Bruce Wayne who was hanging up his utility belt or was being called back into the city after already having done so, Harrison Ford undoubtedly would do a bang-up job.
