There are so many great Batman stories, yet everyone they let make a movie want's to reinvent the wheel. Yes Christopher Nolan's vision of the Dark Knight's rise from trust fund orphean to Caped Crusader was the closest adaptation of the comic continuity orgin, but with his vow to never have side kicks, could someone have done "Begins" better?

Moviehole wrote in with the following clip from a Q & A with Darren Aronofsky in which he talks about what his "Batman" movie would have been like:
Daniel, Melbourne: What was your take on Batman going to be like? Were you going in the direction Chris Nolan went, or would you have retained some of the dark fantasy feel that Tim Burton brought to the character? What villain(s)would have been there to battle Batman, and would you have retold the origin story, or pulled a Singer and made your film a continuation of the past series?
Darren: I was never planning to direct Year One. I was more interested in writing a screenplay with Frank Miller on Batman. My pitch was always very realistic. I wasn't interested in fantasy, I was interested in the psychology of a real man dressing in a disguise to pay out real vengeance. The batmobile was a souped up lincoln continental with a bus engine. It was technical and rusty and extremely violent. They would have never let us have violence.
Me think's yes.
