I mean , we ’ve already had the ( dear pretermit ) Batman ‘ 66 . Why not homage another classical Batman adaptation with its own comic book serial publication ? Alas , somehow DC Comics said no to this wondrous slant from Joe Quinones and Kate Leth based on the beloved 1989 Batman picture show .
Quinones revealed the neglect pitch on hisblog yesterday , although he did n’t offer a reason as to why DC turn away the pitch shot . Inspired directly by Batman ‘ 66 ’s continuation of the Adam West TV show , Batman ‘ 89 ( which presumably also would ’ve been a digital - first serial ) would have been arrange after the events of Batman Returns .
As well as plan a return for Michelle Pfeiffer ’s Catwoman , Quinones and Leth would ’ve used the series to preface “ Burton - verse ” take on classic Batman characters like Poison Ivy , Harley Quinn , and Barbara Gordon / Batgirl . you may check out a few concept cartoon for those characters above , and mourn that they woefully wo n’t get to see the light of solar day . They appear a fleck gaga — especially Batgirl and her bat - poncho — and yet utterly in line with the esthetic of Burton ’s Batman films .
The craziest bit , though ? They also want to reckon an alternate version of Two - Face — one where Tommy Lee Jones never substitute Billy Dee Williams as Harvey Dent for Batman Forever :
Yes . Lando Two - Face . No , I ca n’t believe they rejected this either .
But alas , a chance to wonder what might have been . DC ’s digital - first roster has been the perfect place for the company to try out with thing like this , between the like of Batman ‘ 66 and Wonder Woman ‘ 77 . Let ’s go for one day that it ’s an idea they would consider returning to .
