THR's History of the Bat-Films That Almost Got Made

I'm sure there are a few dozen things wrong with that speech Superman gives Batman in that Batman Vs. Superman script, but I kind of love it tbh.

Yeah, I've always kind of liked the BvS script.

And I've always wondered if they made up the "clone the Joker" plotline to bring Jack Nicholson back.

All of those scripts intrigue me, even the Schumacher one. I hate DeVito Penguin and Jones Two-Face but the idea of all those villains together in a sequence in a movie is pretty dope.

The Batman Unchained one sounds awesome. Me want that script to leak.

Cool article, thought I knew everything about the films that were in development but had some new bits of info for me. I'd really love for the Batman Unchained script to leak...or better yet, DC should make an animated movie out of it.

If they were extended/two parts ala DKR, perhaps. I'd honestly prefer getting Shumacher and whoever else in to do a great big OGN of it, like the rumour from last year. Along with Mark Millar/Bryan Hitch doing his Superman trilogy.

I love stuff like this, and the SL/JL:M docos.

As did I, for I hear something completely different about the Miller/Aranofsky like something with a car mechanic or some ****, but it was nothing like Year One but this concept in the article was great. Bruce rejects his wealth and wants to inherit, cause the idea of a poor Bruce Wayne always intrigued me.

Yeah, I'd be okay with Schumacher. The interesting thing is he is not a bad film maker or bad guy. He originally wanted to do Batman Year One and was like yeah let's bring all this psychology to Batman but WB shot him down saying A) no origin stories and B) we went dark and serious and it scared people away from the poon hound Penguin McDonald's toys. Then Batman & Robin was more or less marching orders from WB. So the fact he wanted to do Year One and used the TAS Freeze origin so he was definitely following the Batman mythos to some degree. Plus, this proves he saw the reaction and was like hey let's go dark and serious, give the fans what they want.

Camp and gruesome mixed together.
