Nightcrawler writer-director Dan Gilroy opens up about the Tim Burton Superman film that wasn't to be.
Speaking with IndieWire, Gilroy reveals that Burton's take on the Man of Steel planned to feature both Braniac and Doomsday, and would have been "a Superman for the ages."
The Bourne Legacy screenwriter says he came on board after Kevin Smith and Wesley Strick had penned drafts, and was taken in by Burton's approach to the film. The story the film aimed to tell varied from the traditional Superman orgins.
"Kal-El was not told by Jor-El, before he got put in the little spaceship, who he was or where he came from," says Gilroy. "So poor little Kal-El, when he winds up on earth, he has no freaking idea where he came from. His biggest fear is that he's an alien."
