Here's a brief look at one Batman DTV that nearly came to pass - Batman: Asylum.
Countless projects are shut down at various stages of production. Whether it's just after the initial idea pitch or early into design work, etc., some productions just aren't able to make it for one reason or another. This is a brief look at Batman: Asylum, a Direct-To-Video feature that could have been.
After the success of the 1998 direct-to-video feature Batman & Mr. Freeze: Sub-Zero, Warner Bros. Animation commissioned a new Batman DTV. Boyd Kirkland was slated to produce and Steven E. Gordon (X-Men: Evolution) was set to work on character design. The movie was dubbed Batman: Asylum. What made this project unique was that Kirkland was able to convince Warner Bros. Animation to allow all the characters to be redesigned from scratch for the project.
