It’s a wonder they didn’t go with plan B and made a Superman movie with Dean Cain just to ride that nineties wave.

Right or shit, they could have gotten Billy Zane as Superman between his roles in The Phantom and Titanic for a World’s Finest adaptation. If Kilmer said no, my first Batman choice atm would definitely be Nicolas Cage. Villains would have been Gary Oldman as the Joker and John Malkovich as Lex Luthor. Maybe Demi Moore or Julia Roberts as Lois Lane? The movie that could have been....Damn you Warner Brothers! Damn you!!!! |

Given Cage was going to play Superman, just imagine a film where he plays Batman as well. And you thought Bruce Wayne was mentally unstable before!But how, in the name of Zeus' BUTTHOLE!... did you get out of the Phantom Zone? I only ask because in our current situation, well, it could prove to be useful information. *Maybe*! I always thought Willem Dafoe was ideal for The Joker. |

Well, this was before the studios went all out super hero beach blanket bingo, but I could see some potential for these ideas during the era.

Maybe it would have gotten one step closer to happening if Superman 4 was successful along with Batman '89.

Not with Keaton.
Reeve was like 6 '3. Keaton is short.
It would be Superman and the bat midget.
This is why people said at the time Keaton was the wrong choice-he is nothing like the comic book depiction. 6' 2 etc..

I don't mind Superman being considerably larger than Batman, it's supposed to be a "David vs Goliath" type match up anyways. |

Supposedly Howard Stern was considered for Scarecrow at one point. What a missed oppurtunity.

It wouldn’t of happened anyway since Quest for Peace killed the franchise just 2 years before the first Batman outing.

Oddly enough, Keaton and Reeve did do one movie together; it was titled Speechless (1994).

Also, with Jack Nicholson as The Joker and Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor. |

Not sure what tone a film would have had with those 2 merged together. The Keaton Batman films were quite dark, while the Reeve Superman films were never very dark and descended into farcical comedy with the third and fourth. What direction would it have gone?

We might have got our answer with Superman Lives. |

Good question. If they made a conscious effort to recapture the spirit of the first two Superman movies, which had comedy but took themselves fairly seriously, and dialed the hell back from BR, it might have worked. Batman '89 was dark but it still had plenty of goofy moments. |

Batman '89 was dark but it still had plenty of goofy moments. I'm trying to imagine Reeve's Superman fitting into the Tim Burton Batman universe, and Keaton's Batman fitting into the Superman universe (at least of the first 2 films). Neither fits very well but it's more believable for me, having Superman in the BU, than the other way round, and obviously that makes more sense for the sake of this hypothetical question since the Batman movies came after. |
