John Christopher Depp II (born June 9, 1963) is an American actor, producer and musician. He is the recipient of various accolades, including a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award, in addition to nominations for three Academy Awards and two British Academy Film Awards. He made his debut in the horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), before rising to prominence as a teen idol on the television series 21 Jump Street (1987–1990). In the 1990s, he acted mostly in independent films, often playing eccentric characters. These included What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993), Benny and Joon (1993), Dead Man (1995), Donnie Brasco (1997) and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998). He also began collaborating with director Tim Burton, starring in Edward Scissorhands (1990), Ed Wood (1994), and Sleepy Hollow (1999). In the 2000s, he became one of the most commercially successful film stars by playing Captain Jack Sparrow in the swashbuckler film series Pirates of the Caribbean (2003–present). He received critical praise for Finding Neverland (2004), and continued his commercially successful collaboration with Tim Burton with the films Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), Corpse Bride (2005), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), and Alice in Wonderland (2010). In 2012, he was one of the world's biggest film stars, and was listed by the Guinness World Records as the world's highest-paid actor, with earnings of US$75 million. During the 2010s, Depp began producing films through his company, Infinitum Nihil, and formed the rock supergroup Hollywood Vampires with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry.
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.
