What if Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy was never made? We thankfully don't have to rouse in that reality, but there were entirely other filmmakers who might have helmed 2005's reintroduction to Batman. Star Trek: Discovery showrunner Alex Kurtzman was in the admin incite in the day, in the manner of his former assistant Roberto Orci. And you guessed it, it did not end capably for them. Here's what he said:
We went in for Batman since Christopher Nolan, not realizing that they wanted to shift to that [darker] tone. Halfway through the meeting, after three or four weeks of planning, the admin stopped us: 'Did nobody say you that we're not going in that admin at all We just said, 'Thank you for your time. We should probably end here.'
Yikes, sounds in the manner of it was quite the awkward meeting. In a recent THR interview in the manner of Alex Kurtzman, the writer/producer shared the version in the manner of he was asked just about his worst experience pitching, fittingly it's nice to know it doesn't get more cringe-y then this.
When Warner Bros. was looking to bring Batman to the big screen at the time, it was in the manner of the flick starring the masked hero everyone loves to hate, 1997's Batman & Robin. You know the super campy one starring George Clooney, Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. deaden and Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy?
Batman & Robin was entirely the most kid-friendly flick just about the superhero, but it was along with the least wealthy critically and money-wise. fittingly in the manner of Warner Bros. was looking to give the hero another shot at a hit, it makes desirability that Christopher Nolan's dark, gritty acknowledge on the Caped Crusader was just what they were looking for.
So in the manner of Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci pitched something else, probably more along the lines of a fun-filled perform movie starring Batman, it wasn't going to cut it. The pair went on to perform on the scripts for The Island, Mission: Impossible III, Transformers and 2009's Star Trek, fittingly I'd say they got their allowance of lively on a wealthy series or two.
Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are responsible for revitalizing the Star Trek franchise, which has grossed beyond $1 billion worldwide and led Kurtzman to be instrumental in putting a other Star Trek series incite on television, beyond at CBS.
While Batman wasn't in the cards for them, they did perform on a superhero movie after all -- The amazing Spider-Man 2. in the manner of the film starring Andrew Garfield and Emma stone finished taking place prickly the Sony franchise short, it's indefinite if a Batman movie written by them would have fared better.
Who knows? They might have had a truly good ground for Batman. all we know is Warner Bros. wanted the hero to be darker and that's not what Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci were thinking taking place at the time.
