Here is a project that I would have loved to see come alive. Sadly, I don’t think it will happen anytime soon. With the success of Batman ’66, Joe Quinones and Kate Leth wanted to revisit another famous era from Batman’s past. The Tim Burton era. Hence the name Batman ’89. DC Comics foolishly passed on this miniseries pitch. It’s really too bad that we never got to see this, because it sounds great.
Quinones shared some details and proof-of-concept art from the proposal and it looks awesome.
“Our story would have picked up the threads left by Tim Burton’s Batman Returns,” Quinones explains on his blog. “We would have seen the return of Selina Kyle/ Catwoman as well as introductions to ‘Burton-verse’ versions of Robin, Barbara Gordon/Batgirl, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. It also would have showcased the turn of Billy Dee Williams’ Harvey Dent into Two-Face.”
