“#In A Better World, We Would Have A Bill Murray Batman<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n In the late ’70s, the general<\/a> feeling in the movie industry was that the only comic book property capable of becoming a blockbuster movie was “Superman”\u00a0(via Batman on Film<\/a>). This allowed a young producer named Michael Uslan and his business partner Ben Melniker to app<\/a>roach DC and acquire the rights to “Batman.” Uslan, a self-proclaimed comic book historian, wanted to create a dark and serious version faithful to how Bob Kane and Bill Finger originally envisioned the character back in the ’30s and ’40s. He said:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nThe answer to that question, how does a kid in his twenties buy the rights to “Batman,” is simply, very unglamorous answer (sic), nobody else in the world showed up. Nobody else in the world was interested in or wanted Batman.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The problem was, studios didn’t want Uslan’s version either, unable to see beyond the frivolous ’60s TV series<\/a> that was still very much in the public consciousness. Disappointed, Uslan wrote his own script entitled “The Return of the Batman” in order to show people film industry his intentions for the character.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two more producers, Jon Peters and Peter Guber, came on board in November 1979, and the four decided the best route would be following the template of Richard Donner’s “Superman,” such a huge hit the previous year. Warner Bros. decided to produce the picture and Tom Mankiewicz, who had worked on a re-write of “Superman,” was tasked with delivering the first screenplay. He finished it in 1983, by which time Ivan Reitman was nominally in the frame to direct the picture. He reportedly wanted to cast Bill Murray (via Far Out<\/a>), who he had worked with on “Meatballs” and “Strip<\/a>es,” and Eddie Murphy, who made a serious name for himself with his back-to-back hits, “48 Hrs” and “Trading Places,”\u00a0not to mention making big waves during a troublesome time at “SNL.”<\/p><\/div>\n
