      In fact, Joel wanted to rectify his mistake with a third Batman movie which, if made, would have been just as dark as Tim Burton's movies, and would have closed the cycle with a five-film anthology, but Warner canceled Batman Triumphant with Harley Quinn ( Madona) as the daughter of Jack Nicholson's Joker and Nic Cage as the Mad Hatter and as main villain Dr. Jonathan Crane. But if it had happened, maybe they would not have put Michael Eton in The Flash to be linked with Joel Schumacher's Batman.

    My god... That entire scene before the opening credits almost feels like a horror movie. I like the growing tension between Bruce and Dick a lot more than in the original movie, and Barbara's actually related to Commissioner Gordon this time around. And is a redhead.
    I can also tell that Gordon's deteriorating health is meant to parallel Nora's own condition before being put on ice, like what they did in the original movie with Alfred. Something that they (kinda) did well were the more wholesome scenes between him and Bruce when I rewatched the movie... while also doing a small tally of each time Mr. Freeze made an ice pun (I counted 35, no joke).

Assuming it would be a two hour, two-and-a-half-hour movie, the big reveal could be about an hour into the film. The reason the video is so long is because of the narration explaining the non-speaking scenes that would be a lot quicker in the actual film.

    This MIGHT be a bit of a spoiler, to which I apologize ahead of time; however, I have a theory on what the blackmail and the Oppenheimer reference aligns to.
    Mr. Freeze thinks that Thomas Wayne screwed him over in trying to save his wife, but could be later revealed that Thomas saw that fries' method to save his wife could lead to destruction of the city. Thomas tried reasoning with his business partner, but the latter was too grief driven to listen, leading Wayne no choice but to stop the process himself lest fries winds up causing destruction saving his wife.

    So much to comment on lol I dig the Wayne connection for Freeze's backstory, but I'm not crazy about Winona Ryder as Nora. The age difference between her and Stewart is a bit off-putting. Reading the credits, I popped big for Kerri Russell, because I never would have thought of her as Batgirl. And since it's 1997, this would be her breakout roll. The humor contrasting Batman fighting, while Dick and Barbara drink coffee was perfect. I like that we haven't gotten much of Mr. Freeze yet, because it means the best is yet to come. I'm happy you had Barbara be related to Gordon this time, and gave him the health issue. Also, because I'm not good at identifying people in pictures, who do Uma Thurman and Gabriel Byrne play? If they've actually shown up yet, of course.

    Yo this one was really good. Can't wait for part 2 and 3. By the end, This whole What If might move me to tears. Tears I can still shed.
    -First part was good for the set up for what can be to come with enough action and character development moments.
    -The beginning with Freeze and his wife's wedding was beautiful and tragic. And how it showed how with everything in the universe of the film, in the past it shows things bright and hopeful and showing in time many things will become dark and broken but still hope somewhere.
    -I think the mysterious person in the beginning that attacked Freeze was Ferris Boyal. Maybe in Part 2 or in 3, Freeze will arrive at Goth Corp demanding revenge on Boyal but learning from Chip or Batman that Riddler killed him. Which could lead to him wanting to attack Chip or Goth Corp or maybe Wane Tech.
    -Also, the part where Bruce runs through the Maze in the What if Tim Burton Directed Batman Forever, the recording of the whole thing where Riddler brought Bruce to the cave and the conversation in the interrogation room to the explosion could be saved somewhere even after the boardwalk explodes. Someone might find it and use it as blackmail. And speaking of Chip, I think the Plan B he mentioned was that gang of goons taking what we most likely know is Nora's Capsule and he will use it as leverage on Freeze like that one guy who wanted Freeze to make him immortal. Maybe that will happen to Chip, wanting to live forever only to end up frozen at the bottom of the water.
    -I also like to think that in Part 2 or near end of 2, Gordon will be taken to the hospital and Eiken will step in and take the Bat-signal down and put an order for Batman's arrest. Which could continue into 3 and at some point he will realize like in Part 1, he like Gordon needs Batman.
    Maybe at some point in Part 2 is when we will get the full reveal shot of Freeze and in Part 2/3, when Batman learns the truth of Freeze, like in Heart of Ice, will feel sympathy and Freeze will catch him and there will be a moment like in the episode where he's upside down and the two have that talk.
    -I think near the end of Part 3, I see two endings.
    1. Batman with Robin and Batgirl take Freeze down and as he is taken to Arkham, He informs Freeze that Wane Tech will do their best to save Nora and like the Heart of Ice episode, he is in his cell holding the snow globe of Nora and says "I failed you. I wish there were another way to say it. I cannot. I can only beg your forgiveness. And pray you hear me somehow. Some place, Someplace, where a warm hand waits for mine."
    2. In the episode where Freeze makes Walker immortal. At the end after Batman, Robin and Batgirl beat him, as his lair collapses, like in the ending, he and Nora are in a small enough iceberg for them with them inside drift along, carried away by the current.
    I now also feel like with how Gordon's heart condition is, I fear what could lead to him in the hospital is he could get shot like in "I Am The Night" where the shock makes his heart go bad to worse. Later on he would a wake and he and Batman could have a talk like at the end of I Am The Night.
    Where Lucius Fox said the old storage area will become a "Medical Research Wing", I can see either Freeze using that for Nora to try and treat her. (Or where if Chip has Freeze make him immortal like Walker could be where he has Nora.) But at the end, I see Nora being brought there where Wane Inc's best Medical Scientists work to try and cure Nora.

    I've been thinking that the original BATMAN movie series really should have ended as a trilogy, with the Joker and the Penguin as the two "arc villains" throughout, Two-Face in a somewhat sympathetic antihero role, and elements of Schumacher's BATMAN FOREVER, Frank Miller, the unproduced BATMAN UNCHAINED, and "Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker" woven throughout the third film. For lesser villains, I imagine Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman merely making a cameo, setting the audience up for Catwoman's solo movie (which, in real life, of course, got delayed and ultimately became the Halle Berry film), and also Harley Quinn (Alyssa Milano, who ironically voiced Poison Ivy in the "DC: Young Justice" cartoon) and a very low-key Edward Nygma/The Riddler (Harold Ramis). I would have appreciated seeing Vicki Vale and Alexander Knox return as well. Hopefully this trilogy would have been so effective that we wouldn't need the Nolan and Reeves films. (We'd probably still have the Snyder films, though.)

    Robin: "I like the car! Chicks dig the car!"
    Batman: "This is why Superman works alone."

    I love these fanscriptions. Truth be told, I’m now having my MS after-school students do something similar: take a story/movie that maybe didn’t come out the way you wanted and fix it. My hat goes off to you guys! Well done!
    Out of curiosity, would it be possible if you could create a playlist with all the Batman fanscriptions in movie-released order?

    Loved the diner scene. The back and forth between Dick and Babs, the cuts back to Batman with it being related to what they said. I know it's been done before but it just feels right for a movie from this era.

    Ok, a Fanscription in 3 parts AND Malcolm narrating? Holy bat-shit, I can't wait to marathon all of this Fanscription Burton-verse

    I must say this was a lot of fun to finally see, I love the story, the dialog made me laugh so much. I even love how you made it a little bit gruesome with the blood and all.
    The decision on keep Mr Freeze hiding gives him an intimidating vibe, which is great. Barbra Gordon is actually related to Gordon instead of Alfred, thank god! I love how she quickly responds to the line “Can I call you Babs”, so good!
    There was one thing I thought was little bit weird. 1:15:41 Malcom (who was amazing in this as everyone else) says that he is presumably dead. Now this wouldn’t be weird as Keaton’s Batman kills, but in Rob’s Batman Forever he changed that, that it won’t get you anywhere and so on.
    My question does this apply to this, will Batman feel guilty or not? Is a killer still or what?
    Another question I have is will Poison Ivy be a villain in this or are you saving her for another sequel?
    With all of that said I can’t wait for part 2 and 3 to come out! Good job gang as always!!

    I have suggestions for future Fanscriptions what if The Ninth Doctor was in The Day of The Doctor, what if Anakin Skywalker killed Count Dooku in Attack of The Clones and what if Superman Returns sequel actually happened.

    Fanscription has done the impossible, they actually made Batman and Robin good.

    This was absolutely fantastic. I love watching the original for shits and giggles, along with the Nostalgia Critic review, but this was just awesome and makes me wish we got this version on screen instead.

    This is like an audiobook I didn't know I needed. I'd pay to hear this team do The Long Halloween, The Dark Knight Returns, Jurassic Park, The Shining, Killing Floor...
    Ya know, just do audiobooks. Do y'all do audiobooks?
