Sans compter le Doc
Je comprends mieux comment il fait pour être toujours derrière le site.

C’est marrant, je pense souvent à ce choix de casting quand je regarde le justicier mammouthesque d’Ultimate Batman. Quel besoin de se déguiser en chauve-souris géante quand on est bâti comme ça ?

Ca ressort beaucoup et ça étonne encore (bon on va dire que c’est un temps que les moins de trente ans ne peuvent pas connaitre). Pour moi c’est le 1er exemple de l’incapacité des fans à se projeter et du besoin vital du presse culturelle à l’exagération pour vendre ses exemplaires.

"Ten years after I wrote the « definitive Batman » for DETECTIVE COMICS, I got a call from DC Comics publisher Jenette Kahn. It seems that when those DETECTIVEs appeared, Mike Uslan, producer of the Swamp Thing film, told an interviewer they showed him, for the first time, how to do a Batman film for adults. (The Adam West « Holy Pow! » Batman was still the dominant image for the general public.)
In the ten years since, he had tried, first as an independent and later in association with Warner Brothers, to translate my story into a single film. A series of scripts involving Silver St. Cloud, Boss Thorne, and a truly insane Joker had been generated by Hollywood’s finest writers, but somehow they weren’t working. So now I was asked to return to the Batman.
When I got involved I was told that the Joker and the Penguin and Robin were all going to be in the picture. I argued that that was several characters too many, but was overruled, so my first treatment went that route. The Powers That Be not only liked it, but for the first time saw the Batman « picture » clearly enough to realize that two villains and a boy wonder were masking (so to speak) the Batman story, which is what it should be all about. So I got to do the second treatment with just the characters that eventually hit the screen: Bruce Wayne, the Batman, Silver St. Cloud, Boss Thorne, and the Joker.
When I was done we had all the elements in the right places, and most importantly, we had Batman’s ambiance, the thing no one else could do. So screenwriter Sam Hamm and director Tim Burton took over, and three years later - after Silver and Boss Thorne had their names changed for various reasons - the one Batman movie everyone liked hit the screen. If I’d had any sense I’d have continued working in Hollywood then, but I was enjoying comics and games.
Obviously, I should have continued, since Warners later adapted DARK DETECTIVE II and III into The Dark Knight."

The Mom & Pop Video Store : "JUNE 23. Batman hit theaters today in 1989.
By this point in the summer of '89, we had been guerdoned with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, flummoxed by Star Trek V and gobsmacked by Ghostbusters II. Now, the date that had been seared on everyone’s mind for weeks had finally arrived - and camped-out lineups across North America were being ushered into the promise of the cinematic experience of the decade.
We were all going bat-shirt insane.
Thanks to one of the sleekest marketing efforts of the 80’s, Tim Burton’s Batman became THE tentpole blockbuster in a year brimming with much-awaited sequels, runaway indie hits and big-budget action or genre fare like Honey I Shrunk The Kids, The Abyss, Friday the 13th Part VIII, Licence to Kill, Lethal Weapon II, The Karate Kid Part III, No Holds Barred, When Harry Met Sally just to name a random few… and of course some of my personal faves like How I Got Into College and UHF.
Even Turner & Hooch.
What a summer. It was like the 80’s exploded into one big final pollinating burst as it ended.
And it was just beautiful."
Michael Uslan : « The BATMAN moment that changed history! Memorial weekend 1980 and I get on the bus from New York to head back home to New Jersey. I open the newspaper to the movies section bannering the opening of « The Empire Strikes Back » and « The Shining. » For the first time, I see that totally maniacal picture of Jack Nicholson, soon to be known as the « Here’s Johnny » shot. « Holy Moley! This is the only actor who can play the Joker! » When I got home, I raced to my desk, took White-Out and whited out Jack’s face. I added red lips with my red pen and redid his hair with a magic marker. I tore that out of the paper and showed it to everyone involved in the development of the movie. The day Jack Nicholson was hired was the greatest day of my career to that point. And I saved my doctored Joker picture! »
