UM this is very cool

He was the man who was suppose to revive the Batman franchise with Batman Year One

idea “After the critical and financial failure of Batman & Robin, director Joel Schumacher
felt he owed “the hardcore Batman fans the Batman movie they would love
me to give them.” It was in the summer of 1998, whereas Schumacher
claimed he had pitched to Warner Brothers a film adaptation of Frank Miller’s acclaimed graphic novel Batman: Year One. Despite his interest, the studio decided to go to renowned independent filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, after they were impressed with his work on π. When asked how he might approach the Batman film series Aronofsky originally wanted to do an adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns, another one of Miller’s acclaimed works. He expressed interest in casting Clint Eastwood as the aging Batman and filming it in Tokyo, doubling for Gotham City. The studio was interested in the idea, though Aronofsky later changed his mind for an adaptation of Year One.[2]
