actually thank god we got TDK. BB was too boring for my taste.
BB was boring, at least to me. and i know im not alone in thinking that. the only good parts were near the end with the monorail, everything else was just filler. i guess i just dont find biopics/origin stories very entertaining. TDK though was much better improvement over BB, but i still say the burton films were better.

Batman:Triumphant, Batman: DarKnight, and Batman Beyond movies ALMOST happened. Thank god we got Batman Begins.
Let's discuss how the franchise MIGHT have turned out had Chris Nolan not saved Batman from obscurity.
Batman Triumphant from an online source
Warner Bros. hired Mark Protosevich to write a script for the fifth Batman film, titled Batman Triumphant, even before the theatrical release of Batman & Robin. Joel Schumacher, George Clooney, and Chris ODonnell were still contracted for another film. The Scarecrow was to be the main villain and through the use of his fear gas, Scarecrow would cause Batman to confront his worst fear: the return of The Joker. Harley Quinn was in the script and shown as the daughter of Jack Napier. [8]
As of yet, the script hasnt been leaked online and it is unknown whether or not Jack Nicholson would reprise his role as the Joker. Due to poor results from Batman & Robin, Triumphant was cancelled and Warner Bros. commissioned more scripts
Catwoman is like if someone pushed their perfectly good car off a cliff. B&R is like someone pushed your car off.
After walking out of Batman & Robin in the summer of 1997, the idea of walking into another Schumacher helmed Batman flick definately wouldnt be something I would have looked forward to. However, the chance of seeing Jack reprise the role of the Joker, a performance I absolutely fell in love with back in 1989, would have in all likelyhood, lured me back for Batman Triumphant.
Didn't Joss whedon pitch a batman movie around the same time as Nolan? Wonder what it was like?
