No Robin was gonna be in the movie...Batgril was not but Robin was. They was gonna continue the campyness what you talking about man. WB did not decide to have Batman go back to being dark until the early 2000s.
Also Batmite is lame and should stay in the comics or cartoons not on actual movie screen. And yes Joker was gonna return in the film as he was gonna team up with Scarecrow to take on Batman & Robin.
I'd like to see where this could go, actually. These are the rumors I heard.actually the Joker was going to appear in a fear toxin-induced hallucination. He wasn't being brought back to life.
The film, according to some rumors, was going to be a return to the darker Batman films. Dick and Barbara wouldn't be in the film at all. Aside from Harley Quinn being the Joker's daughter, the film, if some story rumors are true, would have been pretty cool.
Bat-Mite, i imagine, would have appeared in the fear toxin hallucination as well. I actually think, if it were a prolonged sequence, it would have been pretty cool to see. It's an hallucination, it would probably be really trippy and twisted and disturbing.
I don't believe they were gonna continue with the campiness as it was Shumacher himself who said he wanted to do a darker batman film. Joker was being brought back as part of a fear-toxin induced hallucination. You really think Jack Nicholson would have agreed to come back just to let his character be a part of that crappy mess had it been campy? Shumacher approached WB about doing a "Year One" film in 1998.
Shumacher isn't inept at making good, dark movies. He ****ed up with Batman & Robin, but could the guy make a dark Batman film if given the chance? Probably. Would it be good? Probably.
If filmed right, you could have a really twisted, disturbing hallucination sequence featuring Bat-Mite as some demented form of Batman's psyche, kinda like in Grant Morrison's "RIP" storyline.
And Robin Williams' would've been spouting wacky 90's pop culture referrence.Finally Ropbin Williams gets his role in Batman movie as CGI Batmite's voice.
Batman: DarKnight
Despite Warner Bros. and Schumacher's interest with Year One, Lee Shapiro, a comic book fan, and Stephen Wise pitched the studio with a script titled Batman: DarKnight in mid-1998. DarKnight had Bruce Wayne giving up his crime fighting career and Dick Grayson attending Gotham University.[45] Dr. Jonathan Crane uses his position as professor of psychology at Gotham University and as head psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum to conduct his experiments in fear (this element would later appear in Batman Begins). During a vengeful confrontation with a colleague, Dr. Kirk Langstrom, Crane unknowingly initiates Kirk's transformation into the creature known as Man-Bat. Citizens of Gotham believe Man-Bat's nightly activities to be Batman's "bloodthirsty" return. Bruce becomes Batman "to clear his name" and solve the mystery of Man-Bat.[45] Kirk struggles with his "man vs. monster" syndrome as he longs to both reunite with his wife and get revenge on Crane, while Crane exacts revenge on those responsible for his dismissal from both Arkham and the university while encountering truths about his past. Warner Bros. decided not to move forward, and passed on Batman: DarKnight in favor of Year One and Batman Beyond.
George Clooney, Chris O'Donnell and Alicia Silverstone would've returned to play their roles.
