Sadly the Joel Schumacher Comics Aren’t Happening
So two days ago my co-editor here at Caped Crusades, Skip Harvey, reported on the rumor that Joel Shumacher’s Batman movie trilogy was finally going to be complete, as a comic series. Sadly I have to report that these comics are not coming to fruition. Apparently Shumacher has never even heard of the project!

"Bleeding Cool reported in good faith the rumour that Batman director Joel Schumacher and Dustin Nguyen were working on a comic book to revisit Schumacher’s original plans for a Batman movie trilogy, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin and Batman Triumphant, in a twelve-issue Batman comic for DC Comics.Fantastic as it sounded, it tallied with Schumacher’s recent resurgence in talking about the films, something he had stopped doing of late.It was a good source, with a checked out provenance, but people involved didn’t respond to enquiries. So I went with it. And then at the London Screenwriter’s Festival, this happened."
Read the full Bleeding Cool article, written by Rich Johnston, here. We are all sad to hear this unfortunate news, I for one actually like the Shumacher movies, they are great campy romps, and the comics would have been nice to read.
