“I wrote on […] this version of Batman v Superman [around 2001or 2002]— when Colin Farrell was cast as Batman and Jude Law was cast as Superman and Wolfgang Petersen was directing,” Goldsman told Collider in a recent interview.
Well, according to Academy-Award winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman, we were set to receive an even darker version of Batman v Superman in the early 2000s starring Jude Law and Colin Farrell.
Though, it should be noted that Goldsman also wrote Batman Forever and Batman and Robin … so, maybe he wasn’t the right guy to tackle Batman v Superman.
Se7en scribe Andrew Kevin Walker wrote the initial draft before vacating the project after which Goldsman took over.
