Graphic Novelist Frank Miller sat down with The Hollywood Reporter recently and admitted that he was developing a Batman script with Darren Aronofsky, (Black Swan, Pi) and Warner Brothers turned it down because they felt it was "too dark". Miller stated, "It was the first time I worked on a Batman project with somebody whose vision of Batman was darker than mine. My Batman was too nice for him. We would argue about it, and I'd say, "Batman wouldn't do that, he wouldn't torture anybody," and so on. We hashed out a screenplay, and we were wonderfully compensated, but then Warner Bros. read it and said, "We don't want to make this movie." The executive wanted to do a Batman he could take his kids to. And this wasn't that."
