Joel Schumacher to rewrite his Batman movies as a 12 issue mini for DC

[luis4u]

Though there are some attempts at rehabilitation. But it’s noteworthy that Joel Schumacher has been talking about the films again.

Originally there was meant to be a third film, Batman Triumphant, which Joel Schumacher was signed on to direct, but it was cancelled after the poor reaction to Batman And Robin.

And that was that. Until next year.

Because Bleeding Cool has been told that Joel Schumacher is writing a twelve issue Batman comic, currently being drawn by Dustin Nguyen, which will revisit his intentions for the three films, of which two were made. Rewritten from scratch and telling one story, this will contain his original vision for the movies.

Expect an announcement when more of the scripts are in…

I'm all for it if it's true. Hopefully it'll lead to a Director's cut of Batman Forever.

 

[Cain]

Should be interesting.

agreed

 

[Elevator Man]

It takes him nearly 20 yrs for him to figure out what his original intentions were for the Batman films he directed. Well whatever it maybe has gotten me interested

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

Is this really true? It better be...

 

[titansupes]

Awesome. I'll read it.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Yup

 

[Two-Face]

That's cool, maybe DC can get Tim Burton to do the same for his sequel to Returns.

 

[Naked Shia]

I'm glad Joel is doing this. His director's cu of Batman Forever would be awesome, since the deleted scenes are so great for the most part. I've always wanted to see how batman triumphant would work. I sincerely hope Dustin is really on art duties too.

And yes to Burton doing the same with his third batman movie. I wanna see Billy Dee two-face.

 

[Two-Face]

Burton doing the same as well? that's awesome! It would be great to Bill Dee Williams Two-Face.

 

[Naked Shia]

Excuse me, I meant burton doing the same would be awesome. I don't think he's really doing it.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

how about we get in comic book form what could have been the 3rd Keaton/Burton Batman movie instead?

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

Why not both?

 

[Naked Shia]

exactly. As much as I would be excited for a comic about batman 3, I'm super excited for this schumacher project. I'm sure it can be really great.

 

[BatLobster]

Yeah, the existence of this really makes me pine for some incarnation of Burton's Batman 3. Be it comic or DC animated movie. Who knows, with the revival of the 60s continuity and now the Schumacher continuity, maybe the demand will be there.

 

[shauner111]

Im definitely down for this.

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

The cover of issue one should just be Batman's rubber butt.

 

[Matt.S99]

I'm actually really glad to see so many people on board with this idea.

Exactly my thoughts. Burton's Batman III, Chris Reeve's Superman V, Singer's Superman II, Raimi's Spider-Man 4. All things fans will always have curiosity about and that I'd love to see. Mark Millar once expressed interest in turning his failed Superman Trilogy pitch into a series of graphic novels. That would be the big one, for me.

Oh ok but I hope he does one I really would love to see that too.

Looks like Bleeding Cool jumped the gun on this rumor b/c over a week ago they stated that Schumacher hadn't heard anything about writing Batman comics based on his original plans for the bat films.

Dustin Nguyen also denied knowing anything about it as well.

That I would like to see. Despite all the crap he has written in the last decade I'd be all over this because unlike a lot of his peers Mark Millar actually knows how to write Superman.
