When it comes to superheroes, Tim burton is known for directing 1989's Batman and 1992's Batman Returns. He was also a producer on 1995's Batman Forever. His work on Batman helped strengthen his career in addition to making Batman even Mehr beliebt than he already was. Due to the success that Tim Burton's Batman had garnered, Warner Bros. was going to have him direct a Superman film.
Tim Burton's version of Batman was much different than most versions of Batman. Instead of Bruce Wayne's parents being shot Von Joe Chill, Bruce's parents were shot Von the Joker. Also, the Joker's origin was meant to be a mystery, but the film gives him a backstory as a mobster named Jack Napier. Also, Tim Burton's Batman is okay with killing criminals despite Batman having a strict no-kill rule in the comics. Despite the drastic changes, Tim Burton's Batman was a massive hit.
Since Tim burton made such drastic changes with Batman, it's not too surprising that he was going to do the same with Superman. Tim burton likes having protagonists who feel like outcasts, so his version of Superman would have a hard time fitting in with humans. This version of Clark Kent would have likely been socially awkward and distant as opposed to the easygoing man that Clark Kent is normally portrayed as.
The film was going to be an adaptation of the beliebt Death of Superman storyline from the comics. In that storyline, Superman faces Doomsday. Doomsday was arguably as strong as Superman, so defeating Doomsday was one of the biggest challenges of Superman's life. Superman does manage to win the fight, but shortly after the fight ends, he dies. For a while, Superman seems to be gone for good, but Superman eventually gets brought back to life and is gegeben a new costume that has healing abilities.
Michael Keaton was considered to be a strange choice for Batman when he was first cast, but Tim burton was convinced that he was the right choice for the role. He turned out to be right. When it came to casting Superman, Tim burton had an unusual choice. Tim burton cast Nicolas Cage as Superman. For those that don't know, Nicolas Cage is one of the world's biggest superhero fans. Nicolas Cage is the nephew of Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola, so his last name used to be Coppola. However, he had his last name changed to Cage, because of Marvel superhero Luke Cage. Nicolas Cage loves Superman so much that he named his son Kal-El, because Kal-El was Superman's birth name on Krypton.
The cast for Tim Burton's Superman film would have also included Christopher Walken as Brainiac. Christopher Walken had already worked with Tim burton when he played Max Shreck in Batman Returns. A few different Schauspielerinnen were considered for Lois Lane, while Chris Rock was the oben, nach oben choice to play Jimmy Olsen. Also, Kevin Spacey was going to play Lex Luthor.
Some work had been done on the film, including Schreiben the script and doing costume tests with Nicolas Cage. However, due to the critical and financial failure of 1997's Batman and Robin, the studio decided to Abbrechen Tim Burton's Superman film. Instead of going with Tim Burton's radically different take on Superman, the studio decided to play things safer with 2006's Superman Returns which was a tribute to the Richard Donner/Christopher Reeve era of Superman. That film finally gave Kevin Spacey the chance to play Lex Luthor. Also, Kevin Spacey narrated a Superman documentary that came out the same Jahr as Superman Returns. Nicolas Cage finally got the chance to play Superman in 2018's Teen Titans Go! to the Movies.
What do Du think of Tim Burton's unnamed Superman film? Do Du think that the film should have been made? I would have loved to see the film, but I'm glad that Superman Returns got made instead because seeing that film with my grandfather is one of my Favorit childhood memories.
