Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky was originally developing a movie called Batman: Year One, although it was scrapped, and Nolan eventually took control of the character.
Ben Affleck currently holds the mantle in the DCEU (who knows for how long), but a few years earlier was Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed Dark Knight Trilogy.
Aronofsky recently spoke about his planned film, and how it would have differed from Nolan’s eventual trilogy.
While superheroes are everywhere, DC’s Batman is on another level.
