Director Joss Whedon, who created Buffy The Vampire Slayer, has talked about his rejected plans for a new Batman movie.
He claims that he was in talks to Warner Bros over the super hero movie well before Chistopher Nolan started on Batman Begins
“Well, I actually did pitch a Batman film when [Warner Bros. began developing Batman Begins], and it wasn’t what they did but the vibe was very similar,” he told MTV.
“Mine was a bit less epic. It was more about the progression of him and it was more in Gotham City. He didn’t go to Tibet and meet cool people, but it was very similar in vibe.”
He continued: “In my version, there was actually a new [villain], it wasn’t one of the classics - which is probably why they didn’t use it. It was more of a Hannibal Lector type - he was somebody already in Arkham Asylum that Bruce went and sort of studied with.
“It was a whole thing - I get very emotional about it, I still love the story. Maybe I’ll get to do it as a comic one day.”

The Dark Knight’s12A certificate was under scrutiny this week as The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) came under fire by Keith Vaz of the Home Affairs Select Committee, who was less than happy that the film has a 12A status due to its violence and bleak tone.
Keith said “The BBFC should realise there are scenes of gratuitous violence in The Dark Knight, to which I certainly would not take my 11-year-old daughter. It should be a 15 certificate.”
However, the BBFC defended its decision, as the film never showed any violence in explicit detail.
Sue Clark from the BBFC said giving the film a 15 rating would prevent the majority of the Batman fan base from watching it.
“Younger teenagers would not have been able to see it, and they are the very people who are going to love it,” she explained. “We would have ended up with far more complaints from people who wanted to see the film and couldn’t.”
Gary Glitter real name Paul Gadd, who was convicted of molesting two young girls in Vietnam, is to be released early in August this year. He has secured an early release to mark Luna New year in Vietnam.
The 63year old pervert has also served a prison sentence in Britain. Glitter served half of a four-month sentence in 1999 for possessing child pornography.
It is hoped that this pervert will remain in Vietnam and not return to England. A leopard never changes it’s spots in my opinion and should never be allowed to prowl our streets again.
