That (Also) Almost Happened

I kinda want to see how Aronofsky would have handled Batman. I mean, yeah, it does sound pretty strange but there's some real potential in there... even with Miller involved.
Damn, that JP script could have possibly been the best 'so bad it's good' movie of all time. It would have been a Shlocktober episode waiting to happen.
I would have watched that Batman v. Superman...it sounds alright to me.
Dino-Wars, I'd watch that too, but by the time it got to the genetically engineered humanoid dinosaur squad, I couldn't see this as some straight to DVD release.
Captcha says it's nap time, by the way. Lights out, everyone!

The Jurassic Park one sounds moronic. I could see it as a one-off episode on a Saturday morning cartoon, but, as a full length film set in the existing universe, it would have been ridiculous.
On a different note, I kinda liked Superman Returns. Maybe I'm not enough of a fanatic to see problems in the minutia, but I don't think it deserves the scorn that was heaped on it. I stand waiting to be corrected by those who know more than me.

It's always interesting to see what could have been... I think some of these ideas might work... preferably with a considerable amount of retooling.
I saw that to, and actually started doing the math a little.Steve the Pocket said:
OT: I think the Dino-Wars movie would have been a good (funny) movie though if they tried to play it straight it would be even more of a comedy. though something tells me if it ever made it to production it would have received a name change to not be "Jurassic Park".
Jurassic Park should have ended at two. T-Rex as Godzilla really killed The Lost World for me, aside from the not really that good adaptation from the book. The third one, consisting of book passages that ended on the cutting-room floor when writing the other scripts, was better as a movie but in my mind utterly unnecessesary. Plus, they had to include the "yeah, now we know dinosaurs are alive" bit due to Rexilla from the previous one. This script just jumps the shark so far it's a speck in the middle of an endless ocean. Phew, that was a close one.
This is the first time I can remember (in a long time, anyway) that I read a movie description on the internet, did a double-take, then went back and re-read the same paragraph at least two more times to make sure I actually saw what I thought I saw.
Dino Commandos. Okaaay.
Maybe Michael Bay should have nabbed that as an origin story for TMNT. It'd be less destructive to the lore than what he came up with.

No, but I remember watching The Terrible Thunder Lizards as a kid.Trishbot said:
The Jurassic Park script sounds like the best idea for "Dinosaurs for Hire" I ever heard!
... Anyone read the comic or play the game? Anyone?
OT: That and the Batman vs. Superman movie actually sounded pretty cool, depending on how they played out. Jeff Goldblum as The Scarecrow sounds really cool for some reason, although maybe it's just because the guy who played him in Batman Begins kind of looked like a young Jeff Goldblum. Anyone ever see Earth Girls Are Easy?
How did Dino Wars not happen?! Good lord, this is the kind of revelation that makes me really wish I could jump into alternate realities because that's the kind of idea that would have made iMax really seem worth it! (no offense to Avatar, Tron Legacy, Wreck-it-Ralph, etc). Hey, maybe if the Justice League movie doesn't tank we'll see another attempt at World's Finest!
