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.”
