Following the release of The Sandman season 2, the show's creator, Allan Heinberg, has just revealed he considered including a Batman cameo in the final episode. In case you didn't know, Neil Gaiman's comic is set within the main DC universe, with some major superheroes occasionally making an appearance.

"We talked about, 'Does Robert Pattinson want to come to the funeral?' Briefly, we did discuss that, but only briefly," said Heinberg (via Comic Book Movie).
