    As much as I enjoyed Jim Carrey as the Riddler, casting Robin Williams to play a darker version of the character would’ve been great to see. Also, having Patrick Stewart as Mr. Freeze would have been amazing too! I too have a hard time picturing Billy Dee’s Harvey going Two-Face, so recasting things to have Walken in that roll is a good call too. Love this What-If scenario!

    I recently read the Batman 89 comic that acts as a sequel with Billy Dee as Two-Face. I didn't like it. Even in comic form I couldn't buy him as Two-Face. You see an image from that comic in the video, and he still has his mustache, it's just bleached white on one side, which makes it almost impossible to tell it's there. It's silly. Burned up Walken I can buy. He's better at playing darker characters.

    Well, The Riddler in the Burton Batman world would be Johnny Depp. Besides, it was Joel Schumacher who wanted Robin Williams for The Riddler. Lee and Janet Scott Batchler wrote The Riddler with Robin Williams in mind. Due to a salary dispute, the role went to Jim Carrey.

    I've spent a lot of time thinking about what further Burton Batman movies would look like, great stuff! It would've been really cool if in Triumphant, there's a scene where Batman is under the influence of Scarecrow's fear toxin and Nicholson's Joker makes a brief appearance (as a hallucination of course) to have a little 'dark night of the soul' type conversation, when Batman is at a low point. Joker shows up to taunt him, question if Bruce is actually doing any good, etc., the usual stuff. He was this Batman's first villain AND the guy that killed his parents, so to get a minor appearance from him before the end would've been cool.

    It's hard to get on board with Uma as Poison Ivy, given how horrendous she was in Batman and Robin, but she's a really good actress. I think she would have made a decent Ivy with a better script and direction. As for Liam Neeson, you gotta remember that in my fantasy timeline the Nolan movies never would have happened. No need to reboot a saga if it's successful, and my Batman Triumphant likely would have come out around 2005, when Batman Begins came out.

I know Pyg didn't exist back them but I thought it would be cool to include him and the Dollotrons in the Burtonverse. I also Introduced Barbara Gordon and Harvey Bullock way before the 89 comic series and brought back Michelle Pfeifer's Catwoman My second and ongoing fanfic had The Mad Hatter ( Martin Short) and Two Face ( Billy Dee) as the main villains including Hugo Strange ( Christopher Lee) in a recurring role as Jervis's psychiatrist while still obsessed with Batman sowing the seeds for Strange to be the main villain in the third fanfic/fifth movie.

    @@ManicExpression1980 Ikr I mean think about it, JD was already becoming Burton’s main collaborator at that point, and since he has that charismatic quirkiness vibe about him, and the Riddler is quirky. Now don’t get me wrong, RW is perfect for the role as well, he has such that mischievous sense for a charismatic villain. So either way, it would work for one of those two, as I at least personally think. And as I say how perfect CL would be for Ra’s Al Ghul, is well let’s just say that he’s played so many leaders, and tyrants in film like for example: Count Dooku (SW prequel trilogy), as well as Lord Saruman (LOTR trilogy). I even see his performance as the burgomaster in Sleepy Hollow, it just makes him perfect for the titular role.

I don't think Hatter would have worked as the main bad guy in an installment. Keep Myers in there, but 2nd fiddle to a resurgent Joker. Also, have Crane be a product of Joker's influence.

    I don't think Jeff Goldblum would make a good psychiatrist. Maybe it's just Jurassic Park talking, but he seems far too soft-spoken and (whatever word is just short of "winey", if that makes any sense.) to fit the role. He's famous, I would think, for his "life finds a way" line, but the rest of his speech sounds almost like "Mommy, why aren't they listening to me?" Except for his time in JP1 after he gets injured. But before that and afterward in the sequels, his way of talking makes him the weakest character, I think. If you're going for Jurassic Park characters, I'd go with Richard Attenborough (John Hammond). He has a much more Grandfatherly/friendly uncle persona and would be much more believable in the role.

    I could see Attenborough as a killer Hugo Strange, but I still like Goldblum for Crane. Think less of his character from Jurassic Park and more from The Fly.

    Goldblum would also have been a good Riddler, keep in mind, Williams, while a perfect choice held a grudge against WB for using him as bait to play the Joker to lure Nicholson into the role in 1989. Johnny Depp would have been good as either Riddler or Scarecrow

    Nope. It's good, because it was my all-time favorite. Because Batman Forever had a better tone than Batman Returns. Things I like about Batman Forever is Val Kilmer as Batman, Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones following the footsteps of Jack Nicholson, Tim Burton passing on the torch to his friend Joel Schumacher, the visuals, everything.

    I will forever die on this hill, but Batman and Robin didn't destroy the superhero genre. Considering that Blade came out the next year, and that ushered in a new wave of comic book movies where people realized that superheroes can be taken seriously (which led to X-Men and Spider-Man getting greenlit), B&R didn't do anything. More accurately, B&R *temporarily* destroyed the Batman franchise, yes, but thanks to B&R being terrible, it stopped any shit sequels getting made AND we got Batman Begins and the Nolan trilogy. So, ironically, B&R did more right than wrong because it showed what not to do.

    You have a point, although I've never considered Blade to be the official kick off of the Marvel age of superhero blockbusters. It's a great movie, don't get me wrong, but most people didn't even know Blade was a comic book character when they saw the movie. For me it's X-Men that was the beginning of that trend, and then especially Spider-Man where we started getting the deluge of comic book movies.
