I said you want to see how this guy started. We've got a chance here to fix whatever we kind of maybe went off. This could be brilliant." In recent years Michael Keaton has been claiming that he pitched a Batman III prequel idea after disliking Joel Schumacher's ideas for the third movie. According to an interview with Janet Scott Batchler, Burton's only involvement with Batman III was approving Schumacher as director and Lee and Janet Scott Batchler as the writers. Burton did not contribute story ideas and by the time the Batchlers signed on, Schumacher already had hired Tommy Lee Jones to play Two-Face. The Riddler was also not considered for the villain until Schumacher and the Batchlers were at the development stage[2] when Warner Bros. wanted two villains in the movie; they wrote the role with Robin Williams in mind, but no deal was made with him.
Also, it was Schumacher who wanted to bring in the character of Robin and the Batchlers turned to their assistant, who grew up in the circus, for research. The character of Dr. Chase Meridian was also created as a way to challenge both sides of Batman's personality, with Nicole Kidman's name mentioned for the role in the early stages,[2] but ultimately Rene Russo was cast. After some negotiating, Keaton left the film as he was not interested in Schumacher's vision or Akiva Goldsman's revised script. Rene Russo was deemed too old to play Kilmer's love interest, and therefore was replaced by Nicole Kidman. ↑ 2.0 2.1 Yip, Ben (September 3, 2011). "The studio insisted on having two villains after Batman Returns. Joel Schumacher chose Two-Face. He already knew he wanted Tommy Lee Jones. That was already a done deal. They were very open to any second villain that we would choose. Due to the character's popularity, the Riddler was the obvious choice. "You're trying to make a big, pop tentpole movie.
And we said, 'Look, we can't be using an obscure villain. We need a villain that everybody knows. And the villains that people know are The Joker, Catwoman, and the Riddler.' They had already done the Joker and already done Catwoman. So, we said we had to go with the Riddler.""New in OS X: Get MacRumors Push Notifications on your Mac Subscribe to the MacRumors Newsletter Apple's Siri Promotes The LEGO Batman Movie When You Say 'Hey Computer' The LEGO Batman Movie, released last Friday, features the voice of Apple's personal assistant Siri as Batman's personal computer. Batman's computer works in much the same way as Siri, responding to his voice requests whenever he says "Hey 'puter." As it turns out, there's a secret tie-in hidden in the iPhone, too. Whenever you say "Hey 'puter" (or "Hey Computer") to Siri, she responds to you as if you're LEGO Batman. "I am at your service, Lego Batman sir," and "Welcome home, sir. I have your rom coms queued up, sorted by decade," are just two of the multiple humorous phrases Siri shares whenever the personal assistant hears "Hey 'puter."
Apple updates Siri on a regular basis, and this isn't the first time the personal assistant has gained humorous responses ahead of an upcoming event, but it may be the first serious movie tie-in. Siri was previously updated in August 2016 to offer funny responses to questions about Pokémon Go, and again in September to respond to questions ahead of the iPhone 7's debut. In addition to the Siri easter egg, there's also a free iOS app that accompanies The LEGO Batman Movie, which was released back in January.Tag: Siri Updated models with AMD graphics options expected in early 2017. iPad Pro Early 2017?
