Darren Aronofsky's Batman: Year One

As soon as Batman Triumphant was canceled, Warner Bros knew that they needed to change something and have the superhero arrive on the silver screens as soon as possible. After circling the idea of a Batman Beyond film, the studio settled on Frank Miller's Batman: Year One. And the director was a newcomer at that time: Darren Aronofsky, who met great critical success with Pi and Requiem for a Dream.

The director approached Frank Miller, asking for his help in adapting the storyline for the big screens. Thus, Bruce Wayne was supposed to have lost a great part of his wealth, Jim Gordon was supposed to be a down on his luck detective on the brink of suicide, while the movie itself was supposed to be a hard R-rated one.

Count us in!

Of course, this superhero film didn't see the light of day. Nonetheless, many of the ideas from Batman: Year One ended up in Batman Begins.

Still, having an R-rated film about the most beloved superhero is something we really want to see"¦
