Joel Schumacher wanted to make an Arkham Asylum movie after Batman & Robin

June 21, 2017 by Jordan Jones

Batman & Robin might be the worst, or underappreciated, Batman movie ever made depending on who you ask. The movie was critically panned, and Joel Schumacher was presumably given a restraining order from every Batman property in existence. However, what if the movie succeeded? In an alternate universe, where Batman & Robin was a triumph, what would a Joel Schumacher Batman sequel would have looked like? In an interview with THR, his answer was surprising…

“I always wanted to do a whole Arkham movie, and did a scene at the end of Batman Forever when Jim Carrey is in a straitjacket and Nicole Kidman comes to see him. And it was just a nod to back to Arkham Asylum which I love, and I thought it would be fun to put the other villains up there.”

A Joel Schumacher led Arkham Asylum movie would have been a sight to behold. Often cited as one of the best Batman comics ever created, Arkham Asylum delved deep into the Caped Crusader’s psyche, and his relationship to his rogues gallery. At times the comic painted Batman as a literal monster. Would the movie have starred George Clooney? More importantly: would Batman have still had Bat-nipples?
