Impapasho ye-Collider edlalwa uphononongo oshiciniweyo kunye nomvelisi uAkiva iGooglesman, othi, phakathi kwezinye izinto, yayingumbhali wemeko yefilimu yaseBatman kunye neRobin ka-1997. Ngexesha lodliwanondlebe, iGoldsman yathetha malunga neprojekthi engaphumelelanga yefilimu "iBatman nxamnye ne-Superman", eya kuthi iphume emva kwenkulungwane.
Icebo laphuhliswa ngu-Andrew Kevin Walker ("osixhenxe"), kodwa emva koko wayishiya le projekthi. IGoldsman iqeshisiwe ukuba ize namanqaku ayilwayo okuqhuba kwiskripthi esipheleleyo. Yile nto ayithethayo:
Ndibhale ingxelo ye "Batman ngokuchasene ne-Superman" malunga no-2001 okanye ngo-2002. I-Batman kwafuneka idlale i-colin famall, iSuperman - uYude iphantsi, kwaye iWollin Petern yamiselwa kumlawuli wefilimu. Kwaye yayiyeyona nto imdaka kakhulu onokuyicinga kuphela. Ifilimu yaqala ngomngcwabo uAlfred. Emva koko i-bruce iwela eluthandweni kwaye iyalanda indima ye-batman, kodwa umngculekisi wabulala umfazi wakhe. Kwaye kuyavela ukuba bonke obu bububuxoki kwasekuqaleni. U-Joker wayikhupha lonke ubudlelwane bothando lukaBruce, emthemba ukuba aphule. Ngelo xesha, ibali elinjalo lalibamba. Ewe kunjalo, abaphulaphuli, ii-Studis, umphathi-azizange zidibene noko siyibhale kwimeko ethile.
Emva kwexesha, kwithuba lodliwanondlebe noGoldsman, wayekhulule amazwi aliqela malunga nale meko, evakalisa ukuzisola ukuba le filimu ayizange ifakwe kuyo. Kodwa, mhlawumbi, isitudiyo esivela kule meko sikhokelela kwimbonakalo yohambo lukaChristopher Nolan malunga neBatman.
