View Full Version : If Burton stayed on for a third movie...

I know this has been discussed many times before, but I'll bring it up once more. If Burton had done a third Batman film, what would it have been and what would it have been about? I'm not too sure, but I'd bet these things would've been involved:
-Two-Face would be involved, and played by Billy Dee Williams.
-Catwoman would most likely return. One of the reasons I was upset when Burton left was because I felt Catwoman's story needed to be continued.
-Keaton would've taken the role again in a heartbeat.
-Joel Schumacher would not be the scorn of modern cinema he became.
-It would have been the best of the series.

I doubt Catwoman would've returned for the third sequel, since BR didn't have continuity, why would there be any in the third one?.

What do you mean? The Batmobile was the same, it had returning actors, and it took place in the same world. Isn't that continuity?

What I meant was interms of story. There wasn't continuity in BR, so why would there be in the third sequel?

It's a misconception that Burton wouldn't have used Two-Face. That's why Harvey Dent is in the first movie, to become Two-Face down the line. Burton even considered having Two-Face in one scene of Batman Returns.

The Main villian of the movie was going to be TwoFace, ala Harvey Dent
-How i know this? Max Shreck's role in Batman Returns was originally written for Dent, but WB thought Burton's TwoFace was going to be to gruesome for children. The taser for Catwomen was going to cause his burns.
TwoFace would had been play by Billy Dee Williams who only signed on in 1989 b/c he knew his character turns into TwoFace and would be in later sequels. Plus he is a great actor and would had pulled this off nicely.
Catwomen/Selina Kyle was never set to return. Burton wanted us to just know she is out there some where and has "1" life left. She may have returned in a fourth, fifth or spin off if Burton continued that long.
The Riddler (Robin Williams) was in this movie. His character was very dark, unlike Carry. He wasnt in spandex. He was designed to have a dark green suit with one Question Mark on his tie and wore dark Purple Shades. His role in the movie was going to be that of Bruce's shrink, but becomes obsessed with him until Bruce decides that he dont need theorpy and that Edward should leave him alone. This infuriates Edward who sets out to destroy Bruce, but knows he must defeat Batman as well. So he set riddles up all over town for Batman and sends Bruce his own little riddles for him to figure out. But he would not team up with TwoFace. He would be just a distraction for Bruce who is trying to fight/save Harvey.
Gordon got alot more time in this one then the first two together. While his role would not come near Gary Oldman's in Begins, since Gordon was friends with Harvey, he was much more involved this time around, says the writer from Batman Returns.
Dr. Chase Meridan was a character in Burton's movie, played by Rene Russo. She wasnt necessarily a love intrest, but a tease in a game of tag with Bruce/Batman but ultimatley gets deeply involved when Riddler stumbles upon her and see's her as a threat as she helps the police find him and solve his Riddles with Batman.
Alfred was not suppose to die in this one, but rumors of Harvey finding Batman is Bruce (ala end of Batman Returns) and killing Alfred was said to be an option for Burton, but like Michael Gough and his character so it wasnt set to happen.
Harvey Dent/TwoFace was out for revenge for people he felt were "responsible" for his accident and for the way Gotham is today. So Burton was going to have him kill the Mayor, and try to kill Gordon, but only shoots him. TwoFace would also try to kill Bruce/Batman since he knows the truth and would blame him for not saving him and stopping Selina Kyle.
Remember, these are all things that werent set in stone, but we suppose to happen as Burton and company thought ahead and may have even written a rough script somewhere. This was what Burton wanted to do, but WB thought differently.

Whoa, I didn't know all those details.
On thing I do know is that there is atleast one photo of Robin William's planned Riddler haircut. In the UK's Sky magazine in the mid-90's, pre-Forever, they showed a blurred photo of Williams with the '?' shaved into his head.

keaton may have returned, and two-face would have a messed up origin, and miscast if it was billy dee wiliams, still not faithful to the comic, ridler yea little darker and same town but the movie would still have one-liner's and joke's and dark humor, cause wb would stil lwant to make it more for kid's and less dark, and bruce still wouldve been messed up but batman would still be the comic-book/super hero nice batman and not the intense crazy guy killing villian's instead of thinking about justice, which was not even taked about in B89/return's.when did keaton ever talked about bringing joker/pinguin/catwoman to justice? for them to be locked up..and yes kilmer did kill two-face but still, kinda diferent, dont know how, but it is, what i loved about forever was that it was just like a continuation fro ma comic, we know who dent was/what he was and it's about few month's year's? after dent became two-face? so the film was about dent already being two-face and in the loose..i alway's loved batman forever and was my best batman movie and kilmer my best batman/bruce before begin's/bale..

When was the last time you watched either of them? Because I used to share your opinion, but I've watched both of them recently, and my opinion has completely reversed.
B89, while decent, is hardly a work of art. There is a lot of campiness, and the action scenes/effects are weak (partly due to the fact that it was made in '89). The overall plot/scripting is very average, and nothing to marvel over. The acting is decent, but not great.
BR, meanwhile, is a very artistic and well-crafted film. Yeah, it has some weak points, but overall it's a great movie, and much more compelling than the first. The acting is top-notch, and the dialogue is great.

Ah, I could go back and edit, but I meant that to be taken as my opinion, sorry. I really don't think there was very much Hollywood in Begins, partially because they had a mostly British crew. They had extremely developed characters, a fairly unhappy ending, a whole lot of freaky imagery, existentialism, etc...

freaky imagry in Begins? well, when compared to the freaky imagry in burtons bat films, i dare to compare. burtons films have TONS of freaky ****, BB hardly had that much compared to burton. the fear gas bat is the ONLY freaky thing that comes to mind. when i think of retruns and B89, i think of peguin, eeeww, joker talkin to a dead corpse, catwoman all messed up smashing things, etc, ETC.

Yes, it is, and the characters were actually quite developed. Pretty much everyone had an arc, you know? And I wasn't comparing the freaky imagery of the two films, I was just saying Begins has freaky imagery in it in general.

I genuinely love Batman '89, Returns, Forever and Begins. I'm amazed that we've had such a varied, creative and entertaining series of film so far. Whatever you say about them, not one has come close to being a typical bland Hollywood blockbuster. They're not even action movies first and foremost.
I think we've been very lucky with the Batman series. B&R was lame, but that was the only one.

well theres 2 things there. first, it doesnt matter if a film was made in england or not, or by brits, if it comes off as a typical action/adventure movie with a bunch of one liners and no artsiness at all, ppl will mistake it for a hollywood flick (wich is what B89 and begins have in common). burton had alot of artsy stuff in his films DEFINETLY,especially BR, but nolan was just typical kinda boring/spiderman-ish, "doin the formula" stuff, with its only saveing grace is decent stars/acting, IMO.

i just then sat back and watched returns for the first time in years and after watching b89 a month ago and obviously begins IMO begins owns them all when it comes to a batman film. burton's batman films were fantastical, camp and visually great, but batman was a guest star in his own films, and while keaton did a good job with the material, watching it now, he is way too small to be batman. he looked like a spiderman in clunky and slow costume. i was first made aware of this when i came to these forums. i had never thought about it at the time but now after watching bale in begins. i was struggling to watch keaton be my favourite hero.
but the main problem was. not enough batman. wayne/batman really just have a guest role in burton's films. and i dont like the complete character changes of the penguin and catwoman. because of burtons catwoman we got berry's catwoman! destroying a cool characters reputation because of change.
penguin had strands of the real oswald cobblepot but again, the origin totally changed.
BTAS has the definative penguin IMO. why couldnt the penguin been max shreks character,
i did enjoy returns but it is too different from the source material and doesnt do the character true.
begins nailed it.
best batfilm because it is the truest.
and because its about batman dammit.

09-01-2005, 11:29 PM
hate to say this to ya, Nogster, but there was no camp in Burton's films. Otherwise, pretty good post. Batman was meant to be upsized in Burton's films by being overshadowed by the villains, so MK was supposed to come off as the cool-collected center, even though he was slightly uneven himself. We were supposed to notice him because everyone else was so extreme but he wasn't. It didn't work for everybody. But that's an admirable thing about Burton. He was 29 when he took on B89, he'd only done 2 or 3 major films at that point, B89 was his biggest.
MK said in interviews that Burton was so frayed by the production of B89 that he thinks Burton almost cracked. But MK also said that "That's where the magic happens.... at Tim's frayed edges." I think it's admirable that Burton delivered us something that was unique and accurate to a certain period of Batman comics (The Kane/Finger era).
IMO, about the whole Hollywood-ish talk, B89 was the closest to just being a mindless blockbuster of all of them. Unlike BR, the themes and subdulties don't stick out, anyone can miss them. BR, the art was all over the place. But B89, it's far more buried.
BB is far from your typical action piece, however. It had heart. It had actual story, the choppy fight scenes were the closest it came to typical 'summer blockbuster' status, but it bounced back against that by being intreaguing and powerful. It doesn't even matter if it's accurate to the comics. I judge a film (Especially comic book films, as they often miss this) by weather or not it's any good. Thus why I love the Burton films and BB.... they're real films first, comics book movies second. However, Nolan focused equally on making the film good with making it accurate.
Compare B89, BR, BF or BB to something like The Transporter 2 or the Matrix..... there's no question on what the real films are and what the typical action blockbusters are.
And BF, even if it's a shell of what could have been, is a surprisingly deep film, and hits home in some areas (about Bruce) almost as well as BB.

DocLathropBrown
09-01-2005, 11:41 PM
See, camp is something silly intended for laughs. What Burton did was make something silly in the setting of his films and incidently make them seem outrageous and a bit darkly humorous. Dark humor and campy humor are two entirely different things. All humor in Burton's films are intended to be dark.
If anyone, for example, finds the idea of innocent creatures carrying weapons of mass destruction actually funny, they're missing the point. It's supposed to be shocking first, laughable second.

disagree. seeing penguins scuttling along with rockets on their backs was just laughable to me. and yes.. camp.
there was camp in burtons films. the campy feakshow gang that penguin controlled.
the penguin batmobile video game was campy to me. almost 60s tv show camp.
i thought it was too fantastical and too removed from the source material.
i also watched batman and robin for the first time in years today. i had only seen it once before and was disgusted then. i was just embarrased now.
my god, how bad was that film. if george clooney had better more serious material i think he would of been a very good older and experienced batman/wayne.
he wore the suit well but really the movie was just an updated 60s tv show.
terrible.

ok, if ppl are gonna start the "camp" talk, then lets get this straight: ALL COMIC BOOKS AND COMIC BOOK MOVIES HAVE CAMP IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. you simply cannot escape it. i mean, cmon, almost every comic book film i have seen has some form of camp, whether its supposed to be taken seriously or not. not as much camp as say the 60's batman show, but still, its there.
second, i didnt find anything funny or silly about the penguins with rockets. its actually quite disturbing when you think about it. and the way penguin manipulates there little minds, its not cool, makes me hate penguin even more, i mean, hes sending them off to a suicide mission! what a ****!
thats at least how i felt, even when i was smaller. but everyone has there own feelings towards that i guess.
and like DocLathropBrown (http://www.superherohype.com/forums/member.php?u=14164) or whatever the name , LOL, i base a MOVIE off hwo GOOD it is, not tachnically how true it is to the comics, as long as its a good film, and in that area, burton and nolan have done a grand job.:up:

Compare B89, BR, BF or BB to something like The Transporter 2 or the Matrix..... there's no question on what the real films are and what the typical action blockbusters are.
The Matrix a typical action blockbuster? Did you miss all the religion, mythology, cyber-punk, philosophy, coming-of-age, Martin Campbell, and anime-come-to-life neo-noir?
Returns turned Catwoman into a zombie with magic powers and Penguin into a mutant freak with motor oil for blood. Oh yeah, and Batman showed up maybe once or twice.
Entertaining? Hell yeah. A great BATMAN film? That belongs to Begins. I mean, a Batman film about...Batman? Who'd have thunk it. =)

I agree with that - sadly, though, I was looking for a Batman film, NOT a Burton film.
