While Scarecrow (Schumacher's choice was Nicholas Cage) and Harley Quinn were definitely in his draft, it turns out that they were considering Courtney Love for the role. Madonna is often mentioned in conjunction with the role

If Madonna was seriously in the running to play Harley Quinn, she finally got her wish...for this year's Halloween, that is. At the age of sixty three.  :-\





The 2016 Suicide Squad version of Harley Quinn is still relevant to this day, it seems.

Seriously though, had Batman Unchained been greenlit, I reckon Madonna would've turned the role down and then go on talk shows expressing her regrets over her decision, as she did for Catwoman in BR.

Christopher Nolan: He breaks it in...

Jonathan Nolan: ...the first two.

Interesting.

I guess if it came down to 1998 Madonna vs 1998 Courtney Love, I would have to go with Madonna on that one. Love showed some promise in "The People vs. Larry Flynt", and the Andy Kaufman biopic "Man on the Moon" (not a big Carrey fan, but I do like this movie quite a bit), but I just don't find her remotely attractive. Not even back then.

Funnily enough, Madonna was the most attractive to me, when she had black hair rather than being a blonde. Like around, "A League of their Own", to somewhere after "With Honors" look. 1992-1995-ish. The dark hair, pale skin, blue eyes (though I lean more with green eyes) look worked best with me.

Definitely would have preferred Madonna over Courtney Love as that era's Harley Quinn, especially due to her strong resemblance to actress Olga Baclanova from The Man Who Laughs, whose character is sexually drawn to the title character's permanent grin.

Even if the "Howard Stern as Scarecrow" wasn't something that may have been strongly considered, the rumor was amusing enough, and did get it's fair share of ink back in the day.

I'm convinced that the only reason the Stern thing got any traction at all is because he was dabbling in Hollywood at the time. Now, maybe I'm giving everyone involved far too much credit. But my sense of Scarecrow on film is that nobody in his right mind would trust Stern to play the role since his main screen performance is as himself in his own bio movie.

Still, it's easy to see how the rumor ever got off the ground in the first place.
