9. Batman Triumphant

Batman Triumphant

In a strange way, we almost wish this sequel to Batman and Robin had happened simply to see how awful it would have ended up being.

Surprisingly though, the premise doesn’t actually sound too terrible on paper. The plan – before Batman and Robin bombed and plans for a sequel were scrapped almost immediately – was for George Clooney’s Caped Crusader to face off against the Scarecrow. The fear gas which creates hallucinations would have led to Jack Nicholson returning as The Joker, something which you have to imagine would have had a huge presence in the sequel’s marketing after the success which came from his first appearance in Time Burton’s 1989 movie.

Of course, while the potential for something very interesting and exciting was undoubtedly there, Batman and Robin is proof enough that they would have messed it up.
