A very interesting interview was conducted by 'Jett' at Batman On Film about a script that was completed for Batman 5 before Batman Begins was given the greenlight:

Bruce Wayne is in self-imposed seclusion from life, because he feels he has lost his greatest weapons in the fight against crime: his mystique and his enemies' fear. **** Grayson attends Gotham University, trying to discover who he is apart from his guardian and unwilling to return as Robin without him. Meanwhile, Dr. Jonathan Crane uses his position as professor of psychology at Gotham University and as resident psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum to conduct his experiments in fear. During a vengeful confrontation with a colleague, Dr. Kirk Langstrom, Crane unknowingly initiates Kirk's transformation into the creature known as Manbat.

The unsuspecting denizens of Gotham scream for Batman's head, believing the Manbat's nightly hunts to be the Dark Knight's bloodthirsty return to action. Bruce dons cowl and cape once more to clear his name and solve the mystery behind these attacks.

Eventually, **** ends up in Arkham Asylum under Crane's unsympathetic watch, Kirk struggles with his "'man vs. monster' syndrome as he longs to both reunite with his wife and get revenge on Crane, and Crane exacts revenge on those responsible for his dismissal from both Arkham and the university while encountering truths about his past."

Thank God that didn't happen.

That Bat-franchise was a car going downhill with no brakes with a blind and deaf man behind the wheel

Ever since i listened to his commentary on the Batman Forever and B&R DVDs i've forgiven him and now focused on it also being partly the studios fault to and besides the fact that they wanted Madonna to play Harley Quinn.....yes i said Madonna they were atleast bringing back The Joker with Jack Nicholson on board. So overall aslong as Schumacher kept it super dark i think it could've worked.

*Waits to be stoned to death*

In my defense i still hate Forever and Batman and Robin.
