Batman Triumphant

[Van Petrol]

I'm 99.9% sure it was the single word, "Darknight" (though of course, this was a working title). As I said before, I saw the prototype logo.

What did it look like?...

 

[Noir]

Where did you see the prototype?

 

[Noir]

....Wow..

 

[batmaluco]

creepy n' crappy

Was there involved a Clayface? t:

[Tojo]

Your joking right ^^^^

I like the idea of a horse chase through dark woods, that sounds absolutley inspired.

 

[Noir]

Cool. I think that would have looked sweet.

Much of that is rumour and hearsay. What's more, think logically. The Batman movies, at that point, were only casting the biggest Hollywood stars as villains. Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger....whilst I can easily belive Madonna as Harley Quinn, Robert Englund as the Scarecrow? No.

Oh I completely agree. They were only looking for big names hence the list of actors. BTW, does anyone remembering hearing the rumour that Robin and Batgril go away to college and are then murdered? What was Shumacher thinking lol? Sure the film would be dark, but you're killing 2 extremely important people, 1 of which was just introduced.

I heard Batgirl was going to get killed off.. but nothing of Robin.

 

[El Payaso]

Big names were always attached to villains yes. But Arnold and Uma gave their worst performances ever in B&R.

 

[union_jak]

I heard about Madonna being lined up to play a 'Ms Joker' and Claire Danes as Harley Quinn, way back in 1998.

 

[Nepenthes]

man the late 90's sucked

 

[SHADOWBAT69]

The whole Howard Stern thing was started by stern himself. He said in a broadcast that if they did indeed include Scarecrow he would do it. All that was started by him and him alone.

I also have an article that was in Wizard that was talking about the sequel and it stated that possibly Mad Hatter could be a villain. In another article, I want to say in Variety, it was rumored Tom Cruise was interested in the part.

There were so many rumors back then it was hard to keep track of it all. The internet wasnt a real big source, it was still in its fledgling stage, most reports were thru magazines and entertainment reports. It wasnt until about 6 months after B&R that it was being thrown around that there wouldnt be another film. Which at that point I wasnt upset.

 

[Gotham22]

I heard Alfred was suppost to die, Batgirl gets paralized, and the theme of the movie was suppost to be like Batman and Batman Forever. there was a rumor that Manbat was suppost be in it as well.

That would have been nice to see.

Actually, the fifth Batman movie was called 'Batman Triumphant' at one point. The script Mark Prosotevich wrote in 1996 for a 1999 release was called like that but after 'Batman & Robin' turned out to be a flop the script and title were dumped.

 

[itsthebatman]

Didn't Clooney suggest a noir treatment? Start with Bruce at Alfred's funeral, Robin dies about ten minutes in, all with a Sam Spade-esque voiceover?

Is this the one where Bruce was in Arkham Asylum at the start of the script?

 

[fabman]

Yes, I think Arkham played an important part. Not sure though...

 

[Two-Face]

I thought Arkham opening scene was in Batman: The Frightening

 

[fabman]

Could be. Don't know. The only thing I know for sure is that Mark Prosotevich's script was called 'Batman Triumphant' and that it was written in 1996 for a 1999 release but the movie was dumped after the catastrophal box office results of 'Batman & Robin.'
