DC ELSEWORLDS: Reimagining Keaton Sequels & DC Films that Never Were

Men with a mind for revenge need little encouragement. They need guidance...

I think Burton and Dini, though it would be nice if they could get along, really would not. They would consider the other respectively too hip-dark-gothic and literalist-nerdy.

 

She could do well but for a Burton Ivy I think more Geena Davis.

 

He has only one goal,
To Kill us all...

I would love to see one of the first of the Elseworlds books turned into a movie, Speeding Bullets what if Kal El landed in Gotham was adopted by the Waynes and after they are killed (and Bruce blasts the killer in the face with heat vision shortly after their deaths) and he becomes Batman (with all of superman's power but none of the boy scout mentality) and faces off against Lex Luthor who has became Joker.

 

For the man who has everything
The greatest enemy,
is from within

What do you think if in Batman Forever Barrymore had actually played Harley Quinn as one of the main villains?

 

I think it would have been pretty cool to have Harley Quinn as one of the main villains in Batman Forever.

I actually never thought of Barrymore as Harley, but it totally works.

In Batman 5 Harley was supposed to be Joker's daughter, so at the very least, she would have been old enough to be Nicholson's child.

The inmates, are running the asylum
