Clinton Darryl "Clint" Mansell (born 7 November 1963) is an English musician, singer, and composer. He served as the lead vocalist of alt-rock band Pop Will Eat Itself. After the band's dissolution, Mansell moved to the United States and embarked on a career as a film score composer. He partnered with filmmaker Darren Aronofsky for his films Pi, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler, Black Swan, and Noah. Other notable scores include The Hole (2001), Sahara (2005), Doom (2005), Smokin' Aces (2006), Definitely, Maybe (2008), Moon (2009), The Rebound (2009), Last Night (2010), Stoker (2013), Filth (2013), Ghost in the Shell (2017), Loving Vincent (2017), Mute (2018), Rebecca (2020), and Love Lies Bleeding (2024). On television, Mansell wrote music for the Black Mirror episode San Junipero and the DC shows TItans, Doom Patrol, Peacemaker, and Creature Commandos along with Kevin Kiner.
The story would have followed a young Bruce Wayne in his early days as Batman, as he tries to fight corruption in Gotham from the shadows. The film would have explored his fight against crime in the city and his learning the skills necessary to become the Dark Knight. Aronofsky's vision for the film would have been darker and more realistic than previous Batman film adaptations, and would have highlighted the character's human and vulnerable side. Instead of having access to the advanced technology seen in other Batman movies, this Bruce Wayne would have used simpler tools, like a bat and a pair of bladed gloves. The design of Batman's suit would have been more akin to a motorcycle uniform, and the Batmobile would have been a modified version of an existing car. The film would have followed Bruce Wayne as he works alongside police lieutenant James Gordon to clean up the streets of Gotham and battle the city's villains, including mobster Carmine Falcone and the psychotic Joker. Ultimately, the story would have culminated in Batman establishing himself as the protector of the city and the acceptance by the police and the citizenry of his role in fighting crime.
