the best of the best wait wait wait wait what !?
We lost a legend today.
The creator of Ra's al ghul, talia and therefore responsible for Damian Wayne etc. and who can forget his work for greenarrow and greenlantern
@@overlord6993 i can forget
He died?!
Finally, Aronofsky's idea for a Batmobile from a car that Bruce customized was taken up by Matt Reeves for his Batman movie.
Yeah, it seems like Matt Reeves is taking some elements from Aronofsky and Miller's script for Batman Year One. The idea with a batman in his first-second year, the batmobile, the film noir tone and style, etc.
@@gamemediafan1714 looks like the Batcave is in an abandoned subway too
Yup, so was the insignia ring.
Spoiler warning for The Batman:
The idea of Batman using stimulant on his leg when he gets injured in battle would also be an idea that would be used by Reeves.
Along with the subway batcave thing
I wouldn't be surprised if elements from this script made it into Matt Reeves' The Batman.
well they're kinda doing the Batmobile in a similar way. A souped up muscle car, instead of a purpose built, one of a kind prototype like in almost every other movie so far
@@ranwolf7650 Also he's kind of a new Batman, around 1 or 2 years ig, so he hasn't really developed his gadgets and tech, and with the 90s touch it's even better.The Batsuit seems to have visible plating for armor
Yeah film studios are known for regurgitating a lot of older ideas from like 10/20 years back, already sounds like they've picked up parts of it with Reeves' adaptation
the car & bat costume seems to have……
I think it did. Studios do that all the time. We've seen things in DC movies that were in other projects that didn't make it. And from the looks of certain things we know about The Batman... it may have adopted some things.
I wouldn’t mind it if Darren’s Batman movie gets brought back as a DC Black movie or an HBO series. I would be very interested to see something like this in someway.
@@Jose-se9pu Thats a good idea 🤔
"DC Black movie"?
What is that?
@@ravensthatflywiththenightm7319 DC Black was the proposed Label Todd Phillips pitched to Warner Brothers and DC for Joker. Under it, they would’ve released more stories in the style of Joker.
Think about it as DC’s Marvel Knights
@@redhood2394 Oh, I see. Learned something new today.
Thanks for taking the time to explain it.
@@ravensthatflywiththenightm7319 no problem Fam anytime.
The more you know 🌠 🌈
“If you can’t imagine your Batman comforting a dying child, you’re doing it wrong.”
Aaronofsky would have Batman throw a kid out a window in a drug-filled bender.
flashbacks to batman comforting ace right before she dies
I doubt it.
I feel The Batman is the spiritual successor of this project, only that Matt Reeves finds the balance between a corrupt and sinister reality and faithfulness to the comics.
I think he took more note from Earth one Batman.
That pitch makes me way more interested in this project than initially. The idea of a Taxi Driver-like superhero origin story would be great, and I hope Marvel or DC are smart enough to utilize this concept in the future. I'd personally love to see a Daredevil movie in that vein.
Clint Eastwood as an old Bruce Wayne is probably one of the greatest casting ideas of all time. Real shame that it din't came to be.
I remember reading the script that leaked. Honestly, it would have fit nicely with Todd Phillips' JOKER movie.
Well, there’s supposedly a sequel coming. It’d be neat if they made this Bruce the other half to Arthur.
Can you send the link to the leak
Epic noob 00 leonscripts.users5.50megs.com/scripts/BATMANYEARONEscript.htm here you go
well, Arofnofsky said that he wanted Joaquin Phoenix as Bruce Wayne.
@@fredpassurw3921 deleted?
The idea for a vigilante having a large ring that left an imprint on the victims he punched was a feature of a pulp novel hero called The Spider. He had a signet ring that left a spider imprint. Stan Lee read The Spider novels as a kid, and credits The Spider as part of his inspiration for creating Spider-Man (even though Spider-Man never had a ring).
This is also a trope of another hero, The Phantom.
I remember it from The Phantom comic.
I think WB should release a series of Animated Movies based on their unreleased movies. Because some of then would be awesome.
It’s interesting Aronofsky says he wanted Joaquin Phoniex as Batman/Bruce Wayne now, when you look back at contenders for the character and he was zeroing in on Christian Bale, who did expressed interest at the time before the film was shelved. It’s interesting how both Bale and Phoenix would later portray characters in the Batman universe. Bale would be Batman/Bruce Wayne in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy and Phoenix would play Joker/Arthur Fleck in Joker. Both actors played the parts phenomenally.
The success financially of JOKER movie with Joaquin Phoenix winning the Oscar could bring this movie back to life. To see something actually co written by Frank Miller in a big screen, big budget adaption would be a dream come true.
Lastly, said it before in a thread but I really enjoyed this, thank you so much for doing such a great job on this…As someone else said: UA-cam got great again today.
Not a chance this is happening, Matt Reeves is already doing his trilogy.
Yeahh after The Spirit I think it for the best he stays away from the movie business
pssst, the new batman movie will be the most similar to this script, in terms of themes, of any batman movie, just wait, Paterson will do an awesome job.
I feel like Darren's Batman film would have been amazing to watch; his vision was very intriguing.
I feel like we basically watched it reeves so similar with some zodiac sprinkled in
There's alot of Batman stories that Hollywood should take inspiration besides Frank Miller's versions.Wheres Paul Dini where's Jeph Loeb,Greg Brubaker etc.
I absolutely love that all that time ago he envisioned a Batman movie made in the style of Taxi Driver and The French Connection! My mouth fell open when I heard he wanted Joaquin Phoenix to play the young Bruce Wayne! I wouldn't have been surprised if Aronofsky was a little bitter after the success of Joker, but I admire that he isn't.
Matt Reeves mentioned that his new Batman movie was inspired by Taxi Driver and French Connection, so I think some of Aronofsky’s ideas came into the upcoming movie.
That Clint Eastwood DKR in Tokyo would have been special
If that was made I think Michael clarke duncun would of been a great mutant leader maybe the best person to play him
Definitely a missed opportunity
@@am234523 I get goosebumps thinking about it.
@@christoferprestipino7433 I dream of an alternate reality wherein an adaption of The Dark Knight Returns was done in the late 80s/very early 90s with Clint Eastwood as Batman and Christopher Reeves reprising his role as Superman
@@am234523 I love it, who’s your Joker?
They could totally do this movie now if they wanted to if they just release it under the DC Black Label brand.
Frank Miller is what you get when you put someone with astounding artistry and nihilism in place of empathy. I loved it when i was a kid, but his work feels so emotionally stunted as i age. Still, he evokes striking things and Aronofksy, as demonstrated in the Fountain, is capable of tenderness. It would have been a strong combo
The fact you beat ign to this topic is horrifyingly impressive. Props to you man
I read the script like 3 years ago. I was reading this as a comic and movie fan able to distinguish what makes each subjectively good because that stuff doesn't exactly translate into each other. I was reading the script and parts had me like "comic fans would hate this part", "batman fans would hate this aspect of this", but I finished the whole script and by the end I was like "wow, this is good and I actually like this. I would totally watch this." I think massive fan bases are overly protective about what they feel a character should be. I am one of the only people I know that finds the nolan trilogy good films, but not good batman films... if that makes any sense. Like that batman isnt close at all to comic batman, the joker and scarecrow, and ra's, bane, all so radically different but on a screen it totally works. I feel conflicted over the overly strong opinions on nolan's batman being the "best". Again I know its ultimately subjective and peoples opinions vary. Comic fans praise that trilogy so hard regardless of it hypothetically not being something that they thought they originally wanted, yet kind of shit on people who try to give them something more comic accurate. It truly baffles me.
This is not something I'd want to watch, but I agree with you about Nolan, basically. I don't exactly love the movies, the fight scenes and the score are all underwhelming, for one thing, and I don't really feel like it has the right sort of pacing for a superhero film, but they are way better when I don't think of them as Batman movies. Sort of like Blade. I was a huge fan of the comic-book version of Blade, the non-powered, original version and so the movies just piss me off. But if they were called something else, I might like them. It's not that they are bad, they just take the concept and change it radically.
@Brandon Brooks Did that ever happen with Spiderman 3...? I mean, I liked it then and now but I feel like I'm in a minority.
@@kforcer Interesting, while I do agree about some of the fight scenes I think the score is one of the best of all time.
@@kforcer The way you broke that down makes almost perfect sense how I feel about the dark knight trilogy. If they were called something else. I agree.
They should totally make this as a Joker Verse Batman movie. Think about it, it would fit perfectly in the Joaqhin Phoenix world. Just have Joaqhin Cameo when Gordon is in the Asylum.
This script was way ahead of its time, with Joker and The Batman being the expression of that realer, edgier, character driven story. Nolan's trilogy and Snyder's films are great but it took quite a few interpretations of Batman to finally realize the more violent and raw aspect of him.
Nothing more bad ass than casually stumbling upon footage of your fan film in the same conversation as Darren Aronofsky's Batman.
This vid made me realize how on point Batman brave n the bold was
Such a great show
Can u explain!!
@@Pupusalusbdro Watch the episode "Chill of the Night!" Written by Paul Dini.
After reading the script, I felt both disappointed and relived at the same time. As much as I like Darren Aronofsky and all his work, I’m glad we got Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. But at the same time this would’ve been a very interesting and unique take on the dark knight. I love to see a Batman movie with the same tone as Taxi driver or Death Wish, hell this could be a excellent follow up to Todd Phillips Joker 🃏
I had this idea that was inspired by darren aronofsky batman script ( by the way I think the script was pretty badass imo) but I changed it up a bit. Make bruce wayne rich, make him live in a expensive type of apartment, and the way he becomes batman is that he sees the crime, corruption and city, he slowly builds rage and insanity and finally snaps. He puts on a homemade costume and starts to fight crime. And the villian should be the penguin, it could fit the dark tone and he could basically be a mob boss.
At first, it seemed far too removed to be Batman. But the more you listen to it, the more you realize how great it could have been.
It seems as though a lot of those elements are being used for the upcoming Batman film. The suped up muscle car. The tone and setting. I like Batman Begins, but I like this idea a lot too.
A little to radical ? Wow. It does sound like this story could co-exists in the same world as the Joker movie.
Its to fits that even bruce wayne is casted to be Joaquin
Animated movie was great. One of THE classic Batman stories.
" Nolan would begin work on what we know as Batman Begins, which we know didn't turn out too bad" understatement of the century lol
I mean the movie didn't do as successful in the box office. I think it was the 2nd lowest grossing Batman movie next next to Batman & Robin.
To be honest, Batman Begins was kind of a decent reboot.
It was an example of how to do a proper reboot.
19:39
I think it's cool that instead of being salty that his ideas were used by other films(despite his pitch being turned down), Aronofsky is just glad he was able to help push superhero movies forward in some way.
Aside from the "little Al" instead of Alfred. This would be my Batman!! I always said Clint would be great for The Dark Knight Returns Sadly I think his window is past for the role.
The character was technically a fusion of Alfred and Earl Cooper from the Batman The Animated Series episode "The Mechanic".
Back in the day I had Clint as Bruce and Josh Hartnett as Terry in a Batman Beyond film.
The new Matt Reeves films seems to be going in a similar direction with the violence, corruption and the makeshift look of the batsuit/Batmobile.
LOL
Frank Miller: Batman wouldn't torture people.
Also Frank Miller: *has Batman setting thugs on fire with bleach on All Star Batman and Robin*
The Matt Reeves batman movie sounds similar with a low tech bruce building his own suit and sports car like batmobile
The script is crazy (in a good way) very grounded in reality (no grapple gun or gliding around) it would have been interesting to see Phoenix as Batman, they should make this into a comic book/animation movie.
Well, Batman Begins is Basically a Batman: Year One remix.
Widi Priyanto I supposed
Batman Year One is much better than Batman Begins though
@@system-error how so?
@@TheUnitedMarshmallowFederation well Batman Begins is a decent movie, and a big improvement on the previous efforts, but Batman Year One is one of the all-time great comics, let alone Batman comics. The David Mazzuchelli art alone makes it better imo. But in terms of story also, Batman Begins didn't impress me the way Year One did. It didn't leave a big impression on me. Whereas reading Batman Year One was like a movie in my head, and that head movie stayed with me more than the actual movie of Batman Begins, and felt like a better movie.
@@system-error i think batman begins takes alot of cues from year one. But they are two different beasts
French connection Batman, that would have been so dope
I'd like to see this script (as well as other cancelled DC movies) get adapted into an animated film
I love how it's literally just a Elseworld Year One. They should make this into a Animated movie.
Someone at WB was interested in animated failed scrips for films. I totally want to see it too!
it already is an animated movie??
@@ROCKit2grave sadly it's not. I dont think the idea to make unproduced scripts was ever realized
@@ROCKit2grave for the canceled movie, not an adaption of the comic..
Yep. This, JJ Abrams' Superman: Flyby, Kevin Smith's Superman screenplay... They really should adapt these into animated movies. Maybe there's a legal reason they don't. Plus, I guess these screenplays are for movies over two hours, whereas the animated films usually only run about 80-some minutes - if they cut too much, then they're not really adapting the screenplays.
Thank GRODD someone is covering this. I've been reading this script and talking about it to any fan that will listen for over a decade it would seem.
I love this series. The mythology of the movie that could've been is interesting, but I'm glad we got Batman Begins instead. There's still plenty of room to do something darker. I doubt the Robert Pattinson version will be the one.
Pattinson just doesn't look like he can be that threatening even if he bulks up(especially with that cowl), but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
People don’t give pattinson enough credit Good Time and The Lighthouse were great but most fans just watch blockbusters & superhero movies.
@@goku8621 Hey, Pattinson is a decent actor and I'm hoping to be surprised. Can't wait to see Tenet!
Still have doubts?
@@robertpiwonski1215 the look and tone of the trailer are perfect. I am intrigued for sure, but Pattinson looks like a kid in a costume. Even still, I'll give it a chance.
So I looked up what exactly this Batman Year one movie would've done, and i found something interesting: the initial script was written by Frank Miller and Aronofsky. What's interesting is that according to an interview, Aronofsky said that the movie WAS NOT gonna be a traditional batman film. His literal quote was "throw out everything you know about batman. We're starting fresh". He wanted to include all the powerful themes of the original comic while making changes with Miller to create something new. And when I found out what those changes were, man were they weird. I copy pasted it so everyone can see:
-After Bruce Wayne's parents are shot, Bruce loses his fortune and becomes homeless.
Alfred's character changed to a African-American man named "Little"Al who runs a Auto-Repair shop and acts as Bruce's mentor.
Bruce doesn't travel the world, he instead reads books on various types of combat and practices them.
Unlike the comic it would have focused more on Bruce.
Bruce uses mostly chemical based weapons when fighting (like the original Bill Finger Batman).
Bruce Wayne gets his persona from an intertwined T and W on a ring he wore while fighting crime that was mistaken for a bat.
Many key scenes from the comic are omitted from the script.
The Batmobile and Batcave are present. The Batmobile was a modified car in "Little-Al"'s garage. The Batcave is located in a abandoned subway station.
Gordon has lived in Gotham for years, and is trying to leave for the sake of his pregnant wife.
Gordon's wife is renamed Ann.
Carmine Falcone is omitted from the script and Gillain B.Loeb would have replaced him as the Master of the Organized crime.
Selina Kyle would have been African-American and would have had a more prominent role.
Gordon's character would have been suicidal.
The Batmobile would have been a Lincoln Continental.
There would have been many new characters that were not in the comic.
The batcave was gonna be an abandoned subway station in Gotham.
That's everything I found. Just saying, while this script is clearly very different like what the batman mythos is supposed to be, it doesn't sound awful. With the right direction it could've turned out good. Good thing that the Matt Reeves film is taking some influence from this scrapped film (the African American Catwoman with a prominent role, young Bruce in Year one of his career and having a large focus on him, the crime noir visual style, etc.)
I wish the movies would explore Joe Chill more, instead of trying to make Joker the reason Bruce Wayne's parents were killed. Batman Begins did okay with the character, but it's kind of aggravating that the movies ignore Chill just because he doesn't have a "gimmick" or flashy costume like Batman's main villains.
“Bruce’s parents were just away for the summer.” 😮
I'm honestly glad things happened the way they did, chris nolan made 2 masterpieces and another pretty good movie, i wouldnt trade that trilogy for year one tbh. It sounds interesting though, it could work in the todd phillips joker universe
Depending on when the Upcoming Batman is supposed to take place, it could connect with the Joker movie
Wow, just hearing the grimm storyline of this pitch somehow managed to make Zack Snyder’s DCEU movies sound kind of “bubbly”. Definitely way too dark, but would love to watch this movie as an alternative timeline, or even a dark universe would be great!
I'm on that awesome side of UA-cam again!
Welcome back
Exactly brother
took awhile to get there for me too! Watched the documentary last night on the animated series called Heart of Batman that premiered last night (6/16/2020) by DC/Warner and it was excellent as well. Getting really inspired to send my Batman collection out to CGC.
It’s incredible that this channel doesn’t have at least a million subs yet. Incredibly underrated
This is the movie Warner brothers need to bring back from the dead
@Studio Autio Reeves' Batman will be nothing like this, Aronofsky's script was wild, disruptive, raw and brutal, the purist manchildren would have hated it.
@@gregorioguerrero1124 Well yeah, because its not Batman.
@Daftrax 98 Im just saying, there can e diferent versions of Batman, but they have to conform to certain tropes. Otherwise it doesnt work. It has to fit into the mythology.
Seriously they do bro totally agree
@@brunofranco4416 I just would rather have them made an actually realistic batman instead of the nolan movies (although I do like them), batman is inherently not realistic. At his best hes supposed to be fighting killer croc and mister freeze and super comic booky characters. Which is why I think the batman Arkham is the best depiction of him, but I'm just saying... the nolan batman already was a bastardization of the mythos, they might as well have go full on art film on that shit
Aronofsky proved that he can direct a nightmare sequence with Black Swan and the nightmarish finale dream sequence of Mother!. Oh God how much would I have loved to see a nightmare type film of Batman going insane in Arkham trying to stop a breakout attempt from ALL the villains.
I like the Batman costume designs. Looks like a mix of Bill Finger and Paul Dini to me
Thank you for making this, bud! Keep up the great work!
For the love of the lord PLEASE do one on Guillermo Del Toro's At The Mountains of Madness!
After the success of Joker, how is DC not attempting to revive this project!!!!?? They sure don't know what they're doing in Warner Bros....
Great video, a little long and unnecesary history of Batman origins (like we haven't seen pearls in the gutter over and over again!). Thanx!!!!
I would like to see this and a few other DC projects like JL by Miller, Batman Triumphant, Superman Flyby and Superman Lives as graphic novels that DC could sell as "adaptations" of these kind of scripts.
Thank you so much for these videos, sir.
With the new DC Black Labels, I think we could actually get these projects back as their own standalone movies. Only one I don't see as fitting for a revival is superman flyby, cause if you look up the script for it it's basically Man Of Steel, with Zod replaced by made-up characters (Kata-Zor and Ty-Zor). Seriously look up the script it's pretty much the same story. The others though I can see. Only thing is that there's a chance that The Batman (2022) might take a lot of elements from this Aronofsky batman movie. Even some of the stuff described in the video with the style seems similar. Other then that though, I'd love to see the others. George Miller's Justice League would he awesome to see (but I wouldn't mind if it gets reworked into a DCEU movie, it's possible), as well as Superman Lives. Having Nicolas Cage finally as Superman in live-actione would he amazing.
In a weird way I kind of see “You were never really here” as the same batman film that’s being explained. Ironically also played by Joaquin Phoenix
Great breakdown. I really would still love to see Darren’s version of Batman Year One
I’m pretty sure some elements of this script will be in The Batman (2022) with the way they are doing the batmobile and it’s tone (similar to Taxi Driver and French Connection). Either way I hope they make this project at some point, it would make for an interesting “sequel” to Joker. I’m also looking forward to the new movie by Matt Reeves!!!
Aronofsky is one of the best directors in the mdoern era. I still need to seem him do a comic movie. He didn't get to do his Batman and Wolverine.
This would have been an amazing Batman.
I am 110% into this and it is a shame it was not made.
Mad props for mentioning Clint Mansell and his connection to the film. I would have loved to hear what he would have done with the music. "P.W.E.I." for life!🔥💨💫😵💀🙉🙈🙊😎✋✌
Despite many of the cosmetic changes to his seminal miniseries, Frank Miller and Darren Aronofsky's rejected film adaptation of the immortal "Batman: Year One" would've been frigging incredible! I would've enjoyed the absolute hell out of a (possibly) R-rated Batman flick inspired by the dark, gritty crime thrillers of the 1970s such as "Death Wish," "Serpico," "The French Connection," "Taxi Driver," "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three," and "Dirty Harry"! And Eastwood would've been perfect as the World's Greatest Detective back in the seventies and early eighties!
I always knew about this but i’m glad you went in detail!
Aronofsky’s script sounds excellent! Like Batman meets Taxi Driver
Joaquin phoenix as batman would make sense, especially if it was him when he was in "you were never really here" it had the "vigilante with lot of pent up trauma" style to it
Fascinating, first time I heard an in-depth analysis of this project getting scrapped. I remember years ago when they announced it, and was waiting for updates all the time, was disappointed when found out they weren't going ahead with it. I would have liked to have seen Aranofsky's version of Batman, and Burton's version of Superman with Nicolas Cage that got scrapped in the late 90s. Just to see their vision of these characters and the worlds they inhabit would have been intriguing.
Oh nice! I remember being so excited about this movie, but then I completely forgot about it until now!
This was phenomenal. Excellent job.
God we need this movie. Just hearing you describe it makes me wanna see it for myself.
Fantastic video...very interesting and especially loved the part about Batman's different origin stories. Thanks so much for this.
Oh and I would love to see Aronofsky's Batman Year One, even if he didn't seem too enthused by it himself Lol. I'd fund him to make it if I were Warners as I'm sure it would still have a different voice from the Todd Philips' Joker and the upcoming Matt Reeves The Batman movie.
Any chance of an #AronofskyCut Warner Bros #AronofskysOne..?? Lol
I remember that in the script Bruce was described as a hulking and towering man, weighing 250 pounds or something. I always thought that Phoenix was The Worst choice for Bats. Aaron Eckhart on the other hand - hell to the yeah.
Aronofsky is one of the best. Need more from him.
You know you’re Batman may be a bit too edgy if Frank Miller has to reel you in.
ive heard this story so many times but this is probably my favourite breakdown. subscribed
And the joke- we were SCREAMING for this film to be made. This would have been AMAAAAAAZIIIING!
This is a great video, really well done man.
Hearing this made me curious to want to read the script, for I never heard about this until recently since I was alittle too young back in the early 2000s. This is something that fits my type of Batman, the Dark Knight Returns & Year One type. I would love to see a darker take on one of my all time favorite superheroes. I think with the Joker's success, we could potentially see something like this in the future, whatever it's a cinematic film or even an animated movie.
As of now, if something like this was to be brought to the light of day, I think they would fit it under their DC Black label since the movie would fit under that label.
Anyway, great video and as a newcomer to the channel, I'll be looking forward to your future videos.
Some of the story elements from Year One made it into Batman Begins
Also, it's not surprising, with Miller's philosophy that he took this tact. Has anyone ever wondered how close the origin story of the thugs he beats aside are to Bruce's own? They're all suffering from serious trauma
Considering I have seen others details on this script, this would have been a bit TOO different even with the Joker movie existing these days.
However, it could have potentially worked as an original super hero movie.
You missed some stuff Jeff Goldblum was supposed to be cast as the Scarecrow in this year one movie
I dream of an alternate reality wherein an adaption of The Dark Knight Returns was done in the late 80s/very early 90s with Clint Eastwood as Batman and Christopher Reeves reprising his role as Superman #sigh
I cant believe this hasn't been made. This is an excellent idea.
This is excellent work. For everything there is about comics on youtube. Somehow nobody has done this, subbed.
Just found this channel been grinding through these videos what a great idea for a channel
Very good video, thank you for this!
The script sounds totally awesome. It sounds like a really fun dark project! It’s too bad it wasn’t explored more. However the dark Knight trilogy is irreplaceable. It certainly is interesting though to learn about all these projects that were considered over the years for different movies. Your channel is so amazing!
I'm glad this didn't get made since the movie would've been rater R and would've kept kids from not seeing it. Batman is a mainstream character and with merchandise, marketing, and also toys.
10:54 batsuit was the best one out of all the other concept arts .And I like the red one too.
Sounds like they using the car for "the Batman" with Rob Patterson
And Robert Pattinson used the hood of that car to plow Zoe Kravitz lol
That was great. I love it, I want to see this movie.
Ok I got to make this clear because many people still believe the whole Dark knight Returns rumor.
Dark Knight Returns adaptation was never planned. In fact that started from a joke by Darren himself.
This is stated in the book "Tales from Development Hell" by David Hughes.
The story goes that Darren was approached by WB about any ideas for a Batman movie, and he joked about having Clint Eastwood and being shot in Tokyo.
Darren stated that it got their attention. Never was any mention of doing Dark Knight Returns.
it sounds awesome I’m still mad at wanna bros for cancelling the movie
With a few changes this would work better as a Green Arrow film where he loses his fortune and so tries to relate to people below the 1%
What I noticed in this script is the obvious absence of Alfred Pennyworth. He is such an integral part of the Batman mythos. Where is he?
They replaced his role with a senior mechanic called 'Big Al' who finds Young Bruce as a lost orphan and takes him in.
Dude this was excellent!! Very well done!!!
As ballsy as this is. Making Alfred “Al” and making Bruce poor, it is a super cool idea
Thank you for making this video. personally this doesn't seem like Batman stripping away his fortune him and him living with someone else instead of his mansion without Alfred and him making a suit from regular cloth and his gadgets from ingredients and regular tools you can get from a store. I'm sorry that sounds way too much like Punisher or Daredevil or possibly Spider-Man if he was homeless. maybe if this was attached to Joker this could work but I'm happy with Nolan's Batman trilogy. But who knows maybe some elements of these could be used and not Reeves the Batman but some of it might need to be toned down for PG-13.
Can you do more cancel movies from DC like the cancel Batman Beyond movie.
