Funny coincidence (not in a ha-ha way)

    I am currently reading 'American Psycho' by Bret Easton Ellis. About halfway into the book a girl refers to the main character as 'Batman', as a nickname for Patrick Bateman. Patrick Bateman was of course played by Christian Bale in the movie adaptation of this, who of course went on to play Batman in the latest series of said movies.

    :D

    Perhaps not funny in the 'ha-ha' sense, but funny in the 'isn't that queer' sense.

    The OP says it's not ha ha funny. Lets give him a chance... what kind of funny is it OP? Perhaps some kind of funny I've yet to come across. Or perhaps I'm just not smart enough to appreciate the side splitting hilarity thrust upon my pathetic mind. **** you OP. **** you.

    Ok, I'm gonna go with it.

    Bill Murry played the character Peter Venkman in the movie Ghostbusters. In the cartoon version Peter Venkman was voiced by a guy called Lorenzo Music.

    Mr. Music also did the voice of Garfield the cat in the cartoon of the comic.
    Bill Murry then voiced the same cat in the movie version.

    That is all.
