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.
