Revision as of 11:08, 6 October 2013
Logo concept, artist unknown
Batman Triumphant was the proposed sequel to Batman & Robin. The film would be the first sequel in the Anthology to connect with the 1989 original film, with the return of the Joker.
Script
Joel Schumacher and Mark Protosevich's script had the Scarecrow as the main villain. The Joker would return as a hallucination in Batman's mind caused by the Scarecrow's fear toxin. Harley Quinn appeared as a supporting character, written as the Joker's daughter trying to get revenge on Batman for the Joker's death. With Quinn, Mad Hatter appeared also as a supporting character, written with a similar story of Edward Nygma in Batman Forever.
Casting
George Clooney, Chris O'Donnell and Alicia Silverstone were set to reprise the roles of Batman, Robin, and Batgirl. Jack Nicholson was set to reprise the role of The Joker from the first film. [1] Actors Nicolas Cage, Steve Buscemi and Jeff Goldblum were the most likely candidates for the role of Scarecrow. [2][3]
Cancellation
When Batman & Robin received negative reviews and failed to outgross any of its predecessors, Warner Bros canceled the project. In 2005, it was released a reboot with no connection with the Anthology.
