As mentioned in the last Batman story of mine, the sequel isn't gonna have that fantasy, fairy tale style Burton is known for but is more grounded in reality and not as grand as what we got. The script is mostly the same but the sets aren't super crazy looking. This version is actually inspired by Fanscription's video that had Harvey Dent in it, his wife Grace from the Animated Series and the inclusion of Max being The Penguin's brother. I would've cast Danny DeVito but actors like him can't fit the more realistic and gritty tone of this version is aiming for. Meaning that Penguin isn't as over the top as DeVito's. He's still deformed but it's more pushed back a little. Selina Kyle is mostly the same but she's more ripped than Pfeiffer which could result to more sexy scenes with Catwoman in the super tight outfit. I wanted James Coburn as Max Screck since he had a great voice and height. I'm aware he died in 2002 but the movie would've been finished by the time he passed away, so this would've been his last movie instead of Snow Dogs. Harvey Dent has a larger role and gets the burnt face at the ballroom scene when Penguin bursts in. And the plothholes are taken out like the possessed Batmobile and Bruce instead uses a little device to record Penguin's lines on Screck's suitcase he brings with him.
