He was then going to play Robin in the next movie, which was BATMAN FOREVER, but when Burton dropped out and Joel Schumaker took over, Schumaker replaced Wayans with Chris O'Donnell.
Quotes- About highschool times: "[My brothers and I] never punched anyone, but we talked a lot of trash and we made fun of people. [The Coen brothers] were the guys that got picked on and said [in a nasal voice] 'Oh, tomorrow I am going to come back and have some really funny jokes for you.' They learned to be funny that way, so there's really no difference between the two. I think we are cuter though."
