DC ELSEWORLDS: Reimagining Keaton Sequels & DC Films that Never Were

[Frodo]

Oh, you beat me at getting there first with a Zatanna/Dr Fate team-up

Nice that Langella is playing Kent. He might be suave in the role

Carpenter might be a suitable director for this too

Thanks..

Zatanna is one of those DC characters I've always seen and heard about, but I have very little knowledge of the character and her background.

So , it's a challenge for me in that sense, but I'm trying to get out of my Batman and Superman comfort zone.

. If WB were doing it, they'd say , " Shouldn't Batman the co star be in this Zatanna thing?".

Batman and Turtles together - live action - would be so surreal. I cannot grasp how it would turn out.

Some interesting actors there
It's a shame that Donald was never used by Burton.
He could even have been Penguin

A lot of "monsters" to fight.
Despite Turtles being involved, I sense this is is the darkest Batman of the Burtonverse era.

Brooklyn Bridge is a perfect place for end battle. Many thumbs up.

Thanks !

And I agree, a Batman and Turtle crossover film at that time would have been wild.

I sort of see it as having the darker looks of Batman 89 and of the first Turtles film from 1990.
I see it as a story taking place after B89 ,but before Batman Returns, and taking place after TMNT 1990, but before Secret of The Ooze.

It would definitely be darker than the 90s turtle films ,and I agree ,it would be the darkest of the Burton era Batman films.

With all of the monsters and mutants like Baxter, Man Bat, and Killer croc, in addition to baddies like The Rat King and Strange, the film would have definitely spooked alot of 90s kids out.

Burton as Fate is very good.
Who could play Nabu in the film?

What a surreal staircase inside his lair. How can he possibly get anywhere?

Really mind-bending imagery of cosmos, the first couple of pics. Is that how Lords of Order view the whole creation?

I dig how Fate's costume looks

Thanks !

I think Young would have been perfect for a 60s era JLA film. Especially in this version which would have a scope even bigger than Thunderball

I also think Savalas would have made a great 1960s Lex .

I'm quite familiar with Bond films of that time

Maybe Guy Hamilton would be better, he's more "adventurous"? Not as good filmmaker as Young, which could affect the quality.

The biggest director among them was Lewis Gilbert, though

I think they'd be good as well .

Goldfinger is my personal favorite of the early Bond films so I like Hamilton as a choice.

Gilbert would also be good . I see the sets being very circular much like in YOLT Twice and TSWLM , so Ken Adam would be a must in terms of set design whoever is directing .

It would have been pretty awesome to actually see West and Shatner act together as Batman and Two Face.
