Darren Aronofsky's Batman: Year One

After Joel Schumacher ruined the Batman franchise, Darren Aronofsky pitched his idea for a reboot that he was going to write with Frank Miller. However, even if it were called Batman: Year One, it would be somewhat based on the comic book "“ nonetheless, it would reinvent the genre and set up a new trilogy.

Aronofsky wanted Christian Bale for the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman "“ this happened back in 2000, five years before the actor became Nolan's Dark Knight.

Back then, Aronofsky had only two movies under his belt "“ Pi and Requiem for a Dream. But these movies were (and still are) gems. Given their psychological undertones, it would have been awesome to see what the director had in store for the superhero (who is known to be the most paranoid member of the entire Justice League).

But it didn't work out, because the studio was approached with another idea for a Batman movie (with Joel Schumacher directing AGAIN)"¦Nonetheless, there are scenes from Batman Begins that were taken from Aronofsky's script.
