Before Christopher Nolan took over, director Darren Aronofsky was attached to make a Batman movie based on the graphic novel “Batman: Year One” and have the author Frank Miller write the screenplay. By 2003 there was a first draft screenplay with story boards, which are properties of AOL Time Warner. Warner’s decision for not producing the film is unknown, but based on the details that have since leaked out, it would probably have to do with the screenplay, which strayed a considerable amount from the source material, making Alfred an African-American mechanic named “Big Al,” the Batmobile being a souped-up Lincoln Towncar, and Bruce Wayne being homeless, among other things. This is all detailed in David Hughes’ book “Tales from Development Hell.”
“Before Christian Bale was cast as Batman, many other actors were considered for the role including Ashton Kutcher, David Boreanaz and newcomer Hugh Dancy.”
Can’t say anything for that Hugh Dancy guy, as I don’t know him, but the first two would’ve been a major disaster…Kutcher as Batman??

It should be Mark Hamill. True fans will know why.[/quote]
Ok, it has gotten scarier. And I agree, Mark Hamill would be great. Again, not only because of the obvious, but also because I think he’d do a wicked Joker.
Is the reason why you all think Mark Hamill should play the Joker any deeper than him doing the voice on the cartoon? Cause It’d be asinine to say someone’s not a true fan cause they didn’t watch a children’s cartoon.

Are you seriously worried that someone might think that you’re not a true fan of Batman? Aren’t arguments like this supposed to be conducted at comic conventions?

Also, since when are cartoons just for kids? Batman isn’t exactly on the same level as Spongebob Squarepants.

Shit, Rocko’s Modern Life was cancelled because it was too adult like. They had a restaurant called Chokey Chicken, which was later changed to Chucky Chicken. Rocko, Heffer and Philbert were once playing a game where a monkey was sitting in the middle of the table on a stand and they all had paddles…They were playing spank the monkey. There was also a scene where Heffer got a suck job from a milk machine. The farmer thought he was a cow, he’s a steer, and hooked up the milk milk sucking machine to him.
