To really bring things full circle, they need to have Morgan Freeman make an appearance in the film.

Steven Seagal and Bill Murray were in the mix too

In fact , they were looking at of Bill Murray as Batman, and Eddie Murphy as Robin, in the mid 80s.

A Michael Biehn Batman would be intimidating as hell.

I never thought of it, but I need that casting. Though I’m not sure how his Bruce Wayne would be.

I can see his Batman clear as day , but his Bruce Wayne , I have more trouble seeing.

Biehn said that Burton was looking at two potential Batman and Joker pairings : Michael Biehn with Robin Williams , and Michael Keaton with Jack Nicholson.

In terms of Marvel characters, I could also see Biehn as an 80s Daredevil .

When a Spiderman film was in development in the early 80s, they wanted Tom Cruise for Peter Parker, Bob Hoskins for Doc Ock, and Lauren Bacall for Aunt May.

His character in the first act of Risky Business, is what I'm guessing they were looking at in the early 80s .ago

He plays a much less confident , bookish , naive, high school student, as opposed to the more brash ,and cocky guy roles he would play, post Risky Business.

So, I could see where they may have felt he could do Peter Parker and the more humorous Spiderman part.

“I have been actively sifting through the internet and trying to best understand what it is that the fans want from a Spider-Man movie, and that's been my driving force in these pitch meetings.

“I think the producers, at times were like, absolutely sick of me, but I think it's really important, because we make these movies for [the fans].”

The Bar for Superhero Films Has Been Raised, Sony Pictures CEO Says: 'You Can't Make a Bad Movie'

Sony Pictures CEO Ravi Ahuja says the bar for superhero movies to be successful has been raised, noting "you can't make a bad movie."

“There was a period of time where anything superhero was almost guaranteed to do well,” Ahuja said on Thursday at the Bank of America conference. “I think [the bar] for superhero movies, it was relatively low. In the mid-2010s pretty much all of them would do incredible business, but now even superhero movies have to have a degree of originality. They have to add something different. They have to have emotional connection. They have to be cultural events that can be marketed that way.”

Ahuja expressed optimism that the next Tom Holland “Spider-Man” movie, “Brand New Day,” would do well, but noted that “you can’t make a bad movie.”

It sounds like the new film will be something of a compromise between Sony and Feige in terms of being " more grounded".

On the one hand, anything less the fate of the Multiverse, Magic spells. and alternate realities, is gonna be smaller scale by comparison .

But at the same time, I don't think Sony was going to settle for the small scale story ,that maybe Feige originally wanted .

If you have Spiderman, The Hulk, and Punisher , in addition to several villains, you're going to get a big spectacle , even if the stakes , aren't the end of the world.

So , it sounds like Sony will get the bigger scale, Spiderman spectacle that they want, while Feige will get the story he wanted, with a Peter facing threats more along the lines of Hulk, Punisher, and Scorpion, as opposed to dealing with another story about the fate of the multiverse.

Stuff like Hulk and the outer space Symbiote it would be hard to argue this is Chris Nolan’s Batman. Don’t need some Twitter engagement farmer to say anything.
