#86 - Batman Vs Superman Asylum (2002) - The Forgotten BvS
"Here's the thing about blood. You develop a taste for it. Then a thirst...And I knew if I started killing, I wouldn't stop..." Ten years on from BvS, we discuss how different it could have been! Rob is joined by Always Hold Onto Smallville host Zach Moore to discuss one of the many ill-fated attempts at reactivating the dormant Batman and Superman film franchises: the unproduced screenplay for Batman Vs Superman: Asylum from all the way back in June 2002, written by Andrew Kevin Walker with revisions by Akiva Goldsman (although apparently it was a lot more than that!). The script features a retired Batman, a despondent Superman, an imprisoned Luthor, a clone of the Joker, some pretty bonkers twists and the kind of Kryptonite-powered continuity headaches only found in a 2000s DC script. All this and more! PLUS: With the finished film Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and the DCEU in the rear headlights, Rob and Zach debate as to whether this earlier version would have been a stronger outing for the World's Finest team.
