1970s and 80s
In the late 1970s, Batman's popularity faded. CBS is interested in producing the film Batman in Outer Space. Producer Michael Uslan and Benjamin Melniker purchased the Batman film rights from DC Comics on October 3, 1979. It was Uslan's wish "to make the definitive, dark, serious version of Batman as Bob Kane and Bill Finger had imagined in 1939." The creatures of the night; stalking the criminals in the shadows. "Richard Maibaum was approached to write a script with Guy Hamilton to direct, but both refused the offer.Uslan did not succeed by throwing Batman into film studios because they wanted the movie to be similar with the TV series of the 1960s, Columbia Pictures and United Artists were among those who rejected the film.
A disappointed Uslan then wrote a script titled Return of the Batman to give the film industry a better idea of ​​his vision for the film. Uslan then compared his dark tone to the color of the The Dark Knight Returns , whose script was pre-dated by six years. In November 1979, producers Jon Peters and Casablanca FilmWorks, led by Peter Guber, joined the project. The four producers feel that it is best to film the development of the movie after that of Superman (1978). Uslan, Melniker and Guber attach Batman to Universal Pictures, but the studio rejects it. The project was announced publicly with a $ 15 million budget in July 1980 at the Comic Art Convention in New York. Casablanca FilmWorks was absorbed into PolyGram Pictures in 1980. Guber and Peters abandoned PolyGram Pictures in 1982 and took film rights with Batman with them, though PolyGram would maintain at least 7.5% of the benefits of the rights due to the agreement contract. Guber and Peters immediately set up a store at Warner Bros., which eventually decided to accept Batman .
Tom Mankiewicz completed the script titled The Batman in June 1983, focusing on the origins of Batman and Dick Grayson, with Joker and Rupert Thorne as villains, and Silver St. Cloud as a romantic interest. Mankiewicz takes inspiration from the limited series Batman: Strange Apparitions (ISBNÃ, 1-56389-500-5), written by Steve Englehart. The comic book artist Marshall Rogers, who worked with Englehart in Strange Apparitions, was hired for the art of concept. The Batman was later announced at the end of 1983 for a mid-1985 release date with a budget of $ 20 million. Initially, Mankiewicz wanted an unknown actor for Batman, William Holden for James Gordon, David Niven as Alfred Pennyworth and Peter O'Toole as the Penguin who want Mankiewicz described as a mafia with a low body temperature. Holden died in 1981 and Niven in 1983, so this will never happen. A number of filmmakers attached to the Mankiewicz script, including Ivan Reitman and Joe Dante. Reitman wants to throw Bill Murray as Batman. For Robin's role, Eddie Murphy and Michael J. Fox are the candidates. Nine rewrites were performed by nine separate authors. Most of them are based on Strange Appearance . However, it is the Mankiewicz script that is still used to guide the project.
Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher series (1989-1997)
Batman (1989)
Tim Burton took over as director of the first Batman film in 1986. Steve Englehart and Julie Hickson wrote the care of the film before Sam Hamm wrote the first scenario. Many A-list actors were considered for Batman's role before Michael Keaton was cast. Keaton was a controversial choice for the role since, in 1988, he became typecast as a comedy actor and many observers doubted he could portray a serious role. Jack Nicholson accepts the Joker role in tight conditions that dictate high salaries, partly from box office profits and shooting schedules. Nicholson's final salary is reported to reach $ 50 million. The main photography took place at Pinewood Studios from October 1988 to January 1989. The budget increased from $ 30 million to $ 48 million, while the 1988 Writers Guild of America broke down forcing Hamm to break up. The rewrites were done by Warren Skaaren, Charles McKeown, and Jonathan Gems. Batman received positive reviews, broke many box office records, and won an Academy Award for Best Art Direction. The film grossed over $ 400 million, and left a legacy over the modern perception of the superhero movie genre. Batman Returns (1992) Batman Returns
Burton initially did not want to direct the sequel because of his mixed emotions over the previous film. The first manuscript of Sam Hamm contains Penguins and Catwoman looking for treasure. Daniel Waters delivered a text that satisfied Burton, who convinced him to direct the film. Wesley Strick rewrote it unchanged, removing Harvey Dent and Robin's characterizations and rewriting the climax. Various A-list actresses lobbied hard for Catwoman's role before Michelle Pfeiffer was cast, while Danny DeVito signed to portray Penguin. Filming starts at Warner Bros. in Burbank, California in June 1991. Batman Returns was released with financial success, but Warner Bros. disappointed with box office movies that run because the acquisition is less than its predecessor. However, Batman Returns was released for generally positive reviews, although "parental reactions" criticized the film for containing violence and sexual innuendo that are not considered suitable for children. McDonald's closed the 'Happy Meal tie-in' for Batman Returns . Batman Forever Batman Forever (1995)
Although Batman Returns is a financial success, Warner Bros feels that movies should make more money. The studio decided to change the direction of the Batman movie series to be more important. Joel Schumacher replaced Tim Burton as a director, while Burton decided to remain as a producer. However, Michael Keaton did not like the new direction directed by the movie series, and was replaced by Val Kilmer as Batman. Chris O'Donnell was introduced as Robin, Jim Carrey starred as The Riddler, while Tommy Lee Jones starred in Two-Face. Filming began in September 1994, and Schumacher had problems communicating with Kilmer and Jones. Batman Forever was released on June 16, 1995 with financial success, generating over $ 350 million worldwide and three Academy Award nominations, but the film is filled with criticism from critics.
Batman & amp; Robin (1997)
After the release of Batman Forever, Warner Bros started development on Batman & amp; Robin , assigned him on the fast track for a persistent June 1997 release. Val Kilmer did not return, due to scheduling conflicts with The Saint , and was replaced by George Clooney.

The subject of photography began in September 1996 and was completed in January 1997, two weeks ahead of schedule. Batman & amp; Robin was released on June 20, 1997, and received mainly negative reviews.

However, the film was financially successful, but it remains the most commercially successful live-action film Batman . Batman & amp; Robin received a lot of nominations at the Razzie Awards and ranked among the worst-ranking superhero movies of all time.
Proposal for the fifth movie
Batman Unchained
During filming Batman & amp; Robin, Warner Bros. impressed with the daily, prompting them to immediately hire Joel Schumacher to repeat the task of directing him to the third movie. Author Akiva Goldsman, who works at Batman Forever and Batman & amp; Robin , denied the opportunity to write the script. In late 1996, Warner Bros. and Schumacher hired Mark Protosevich to write the script for the fifth Batman movie. The mid-1999 release date projected to be announced. Entitled Batman Unchained but often mistakenly referred to as Batman Triumphant, the Protosevich script makes Scarecrow the main villain and the Joker will return as a hallucination in Batman's mind caused by Scarecrow's fear of poison. Harley Quinn appeared as a supporting character, written as a Joker princess trying to kill Batman to avenge his father's death. George Clooney, Chris O'Donnell, and Alicia Silverstone are ready to re-show the roles of Batman, Robin, and Batgirl. Schumacher also approached Nicolas Cage for the Scarecrow role. However, when Batman & amp; Robin received a negative review and failed to outperform its predecessor, Warner Bros. not sure of their plans for Batman Unchained . The studio decided it's best to consider live-action films Batman Beyond and the adaptation of Frank Miller Batman: Year One . Warner Bros. will illuminate which idea suits them best. Schumacher feels he "owes [d] Batman film culture Batman .I will go back to basics and make a dark depiction of the Black Knights." He approached Warner Bros. to perform Batman: Year One in mid-1998. Batman: DarKnight
Although Warner Bros. and Schumacher were interested in First Year Lee Shapiro, comic book buff, and Stephen Wise installed the studio with a script titled Batman: DarKnight in mid-1998. DarKnight, largely inspired by The Dark Knight Returns, asked Bruce Wayne to give up his crime-fighting career, and Dick Grayson attended Gotham University. Dr Jonathan Crane uses his position as professor of psychology at the University of Gotham and as chief psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum to experiment in fear (this element will appear in Batman Begins). During a vengeful confrontation with a colleague, Dr. Kirk Langstrom, Derek involuntarily initiated the transformation of Kirk into a creature known as Man-Bat. Gotham citizens believe in Man-Bat night activities as Batman's "bloodthirsty" reward. Bruce becomes Batman "to clear his name," and solve the Man-Bat mystery. Kirk struggles with his "man-vs-monster" syndrome, as he longs to reunite with his wife and take revenge on Crane, while Crane demands revenge on those responsible for his dismissal from Arkham and the university in the face of the truth about the past. Warner Bros. decided not to move forward with the project, and left Batman: DarKnight to support First Year and Batman Beyond.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Nolan wants the story for the third and final installment to keep her invested emotionally.

The Dark Knight Rises is meant to complement Nilan's Batman trilogy. In December 2008, Nolan completed a rough outline of stories, before he committed to Inception .

The Dark Knight Rises features more IMAX shooting scenes than The Dark Knight . Cinematographer Wally Pfister expressed interest in film shooting entirely at IMAX. During the film, set for eight years after Dark Knight, the arrival of a new enemy Bane forced Bruce to return to his old role as Batman, only to find himself overrun and captured by Bane as Gotham cut off from the rest of the world with a prototype fusion generator The stolen Wayne Enterprises will explode in a few months. With the help of Selina Kyle's thief, Bruce is able to return to Gotham and defeat Bane while redeeming his image as Batman. The film ends with Bruce having a 'retiree' as Batman after pretending his death to live with Selina Kyle, evidence showing that he has passed on Batcave to new Allied Detective John Blake (first name Robin) while Gotham rebuilds it in Dark memory Knight's heroism.
Upon its release, The Dark Knight Rises received a positive and successful critical response at the box office, going beyond its predecessor and becoming the 19th best-selling film of all time over $ 1.08 billion.

After Batman rescues Martha Kent from Luthor's henchmen, he fights with Superman and Wonder Woman's new hero to contain Kryptonia abnormalities that Luthor created to kill Superman, a battle that results in Superman's death when he stabs deformity with a kryptonite spear and stabs himself.
