Before Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, Warner Bros., Frank Miller and director Darren Aronofsky were set to make a film called Batman: Year One, which never moved forward.
Variety spoke with Frank Miller at Lucca Comics & Games, where he said he wants to make a “much smaller” Batman movie.
“That screenplay was based on my book Batman: Year One, and yeah it was much more down to earth.
He previously praised Ben Affleck’s work as Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which was partially based on his own work.
