Andrew Davis (born November 21, 1946) is an American film director, producer and cinematographer, noted for the action films Code of Silence, The Fugitive, Chain Reaction, Collateral Damage, Above the Law and Under Siege. Born on the south side of Chicago, Illinois, Davis has directed several films using Chicago as a backdrop. He is the son of actor Nathan Davis and Metta Davis and the brother of musician Richard "Richie" Peter Davis co-founder of the cover band Chicago Catz and Jo Ellen Friedman. After attending Harand Camp of the Theater Arts and Bowen High School, Davis went on to study journalism at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It was not long before his interest in civil rights and anti-war issues converged with his growing interest in film-making. Davis was mentored by acclaimed cinematographer Haskell Wexler with whom he worked on Medium Cool and began his film career as a cameraman on blaxploitation films like The Hit Man, Cool Breeze and The Slams in the 1970s. His first feature film as a director was the semi-biographical story, Stony Island. Davis has gone on to direct such films as The Fugitive, Under Siege, Above the Law (both starring Steven Segal), Code of Silence, Holes, The Package and The Guardian. Davis also directed the cutscenes for the videogame Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. In October 2006, he told a London press conference that he intends to make a film fusing the novels Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes and Tom Jones by Henry Fielding.

What if Tim Burton never directed Batman 1989 and was in development until the late 90s. The plot would be the same as the 1989 movie minus Bob the Goon and Felicia Hunt being one character, that being Harley Quinn, who was a popular character from The Animated Series. (Maybe you could say the Animated Series came out before the Batman movie). Keep in mind, this isn't the fantasy Burton world, this would be more Se7en meets The Bone Collector, hense the director of Bone Collector. And maybe a bit of End of Days. Thst grimy, dirty, gritty, rainy urban New Yorkish style and tone. And the script a bit closer to the original Sam Hamm screenplay. More character driven and play up different accept rather than a studio interfered version in 1989. Not Christopher Nolen realistic but more The Dark Knight Returns style, a bit comic book-ish but still grounded.
