Aronofski offered to the role of Batman Clint Isovda
Studio attention Warner Bros. Darren Aronophists attracted when, together with the legendary creator of comic book, Frank Miller tried to film Millerovsky Comic Ronin. The screen is not possible, but the aronophists introduced Warner Bros. The concept of his own film about Batman - according to the original idea of the director, in the lead role he saw the legendary clint of Istuda, and the action was to turn around in Tokyo in the seventies. Ultimately, however, the aronophists stopped at another idea - the adaptation of Miller's Comics Batman: Year One.
Beggar and homeless Bruce Wayne
In the film Aronophists, as in comics, the main character was to lose his parents at a young age - and, at the same time, family wealth: the future Batman turned out to be a poor and homeless. Save the boy from the streets was to veteran of the Vietnamese War - Big El, for a couple with whom Bruce worked as a mechanic in the garage.
Aroneal wanted to remove the "Batman" in the style of the "taxi driver" with Robert de Niro
The main source of inspiration for Darren Aronofsky and his Miller scenario was the nairny criminal drama of the seventies - first of all, a cult "taxi driver" with Robert De Niro. Like the main hero of the "taxi driver", Bruce Wayne in the versions of the aronophist did not have anything, lived at the very bottom and saw all the dirt inside the hometown.
Neither suit nor batmobile
In the film, the aronophists would not have any billionaires in high-tech costumes with an exemplary weapon and on a super powerful car. According to the director, Batman was to limit himself to a raincoat, gloves with seamless blades and a hockey mask, and moving around Gotham should have been on a black Lincoln Continental with tinted glass. The headquartered superhero was supposed to serve as an abandoned subway Gotam.
Gloomy and more gloomy
Miller fans of comic sign as the creator of gloomy masterpieces like "the city of sins", but as Frank himself admitted, the version "Batman" Darren Aroneal even for him seemed to be too gloomy. "My Batman was too good for him," remembers Miller. "We argued about it, and I proved him -" Batman would not do that, he would not torture someone. " The aronophists tried to create over the brutal, cruel and realistic version of the Dark Knight Gotama.
Suician Gordon
Brutal and cruel reality should have become not only for Bruce Wayne, but also for his associate - the Gordon Police Commissioner. "In the first stage with Gordon, we wanted to remove how he sits on the toilet with a pistol bowl in his mouth and six bullets in his hands, thinking about suicide - and for me all he," said Aroneal.
Cat Woman - Prostitute
Nothing good reality of Gotham according to the versions of the aronophist did not prepare for a woman cat. In Darren's scenario, this heroine was an African American prostitute-dominatrix, and her customers are lovers of BDSM.
Bloody Bath in Tarantino style
The Final "Batman" according to the plan of Darren Aronofsky was to become a grand bathtub in the style of the most brutal scenes from Quentin Tarantino films with the participation of all key heroes - from Batman himself and Commissioner Gordon to his pregnant wife and the corrupt head of Gotam's police.
Hoakin Phoenix as Batman
Having completed work on a scenario to "Batman", the aronophist was going to offer the main role of Christopher Bale - or at least so recently thought fans. Just a few days ago during the promotional tour to "Mom!" In an interview with Yahoo himself, the director himself admitted that he actually saw the role of Batman only Joaquin Phoenix, who at that time had not yet shot at the Gladiator.
Aroneal against children's toys
Why did all the aronophist conceived by Darren and did not come out? Everything is simple: Warner Bros management. I did not go to the implementation of the director's designs, for whom it was certainly a "adult" rating "For viewers from 16 years and older" - because there was no one to sell toys and souvenirs. Judge for yourself: Children, the main buyers of Merchandise to the films, "Batman" would not even look at the age of age, from batmobile, spectacular costumes and other potentially "souvenir" aronophos attributes refused. As a result, Warner Bros. It became obvious that if you give the aronophists to withdraw his "Batman", about such an article of income, as the sale of Merchandise, it will be possible to forget at all - and this article for studios is actually one of the most profitable.
