Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

I think you've got confused as to what i posted, it's nothing to do with Nolans movies ... Jack was to reprise his role in Batman Triumphant a.k.a. Batman V which was a sequel in the old movie series that never got made.

You're right, I was unaware of this canceled project.

Main problem I see that idea is Jack in a cameo. It sounds like he's in one scene where Bats gets hit with Scarecrow's toxin. Jack would have overshadowed the poor SOB playing Scarecrow. If they had made that movie I imagine there would have complaints about Jack's lack of screen time.

I stand by the other stuff I said about Ledger being awesome.

Though i'm not a fan of Nolans Batman movies... i did like Ledger, he put his heart and Soul into the role

I remember reading a draft of the script. Not sure if it was the real thing or a fan creation, this was around 1999.

But yes, the Joker role was in only one scene, and I came away thinking it was far too "cameo-ish." Made me think that Nicholson probably wouldn't have bothered for something so small.

The actual script by Mark Protosevich has never leaked... only a handfull of people at WB got to see it before it was locked away.

The guy fell some 30 stories to his death. Brining him back would have been sooooooo lame.

lamer than Batman & Robin?

you dont need to answer that question since we all know what the answer is

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

Since no one fell 30 stories to his death and came back to life in Batman & Robin, yes, it would be lamer.

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

hehe, well even with that fact, I still think Batman & Robin to be a lame movie, and I am being polite

He wasn't coming back from the dead... just in the movie as hallucinations in Batman's mind caused by the Scarecrow.

still it would be kinda lame....(so I agree with EVILFACE on that one) but it would never be as lame as Batman & Robin

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

I think Jack Napier would be far more horrifying to Batman than the Joker.

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

That movie was supposed to be made by Joel, the driector of Batman forever and Batman & Robin, so at that time, maybe it sounded nice to have the joker of the great Jack nicholson, but after seeing Batman 4 that was to much!!

I agree to this day I cannot stand to watch 3rd and 4th movie by Schumacher!! Horrendous. Tim Burton's adaptations were superb and
The current Batman Begins & TDK are mind blowing!! I cant wait until TDKR!!

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

I think either Kilmer or Clooney would have shined as Wayne and Batman if Schumacher was not the director, they both had the look back then. Schumacher gayed it up for them.

 

[EVILFACE]

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

Thought Kilmer was good. Clooney was terrible.

I liked Chris O'Donnell's take on Robin.

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

and to say that is was because of Tim Burton that the franchise got gay...

Klooney to this day always claims that was a garbage of a movie. I guess that sums it up !!!
