For a brief moment after he finished Remember the Titans , theater director Boaz Yakin was attach to a live - action interlingual rendition of Batman Beyond . Of course , Batman Begins ended up being the Batman project that Warner Bros. made , but Yakin calls Batman Beyond was the “ best script I ever compose that never got made . ”
talk toIGN , Yakin said that he told his agent that if he did a self-aggrandizing studio movie , he need it to be Batman — with Batman as a viewpoint - in for a “ big ol’ thing . ” But then :
He arrive back to me and said , ‘ I have a meeting set up for you at Warner Bros. about Batman . ’ I was like , ‘ What ! ? [ Laughs ] Okay . ’ I opine at the time I think Darren Aronofsky was explicate a Batman : Year One type of affair . ” ( Year One , of course , would eventually go to Christopher Nolan , who turn it into Batman Begins . ) “ So I said , ‘ Okay , let me see what I can do , ’ and I came up with this pitch on Batman Beyond .
… It was almost like Sam Raimi ’s Spider - Man but a niggling bit darker — a teen , kind of futuristic , cyberpunk Batman thing .
He adds that he afford up after one draft , since he just did n’t have the mindset for the foolishness of a big - budget , consequence - driven celluloid . But he explains why he think that Batman Beyond could still be a really cool project for someone :
Batman seems to be popular in any iteration . I opine [ Batman Beyond ] is apart enough from the steady Batman that the great unwashed are allow to play in that playground , without sort of f***ing with persistence and all this stuff that people are so concerned with . It ’s a different look at the character .
He ’s totally right-hand that the time to come - lay out Batman Beyond is far enough remove from the interconnected universe that Warner Bros. and DC is making . It could be a unadulterated style to tackle the character of Batman without having to reconcile all the past versions with the new universe , as they ’re doing in Batman v Superman . It could have really work .
