BATMAN YEAR ONE IS A GO
------------------------------------
Great news this week as Screenwriters Utopia reports
that "'Batman: Year One' has been accepted by Warner
Brothers and work is to be started right away for an
early 2003 release". New designs for
Batsuit, Catwoman, The
Joker and the Batmobile are on
the drawing boards apparently - the script is now
ready to film and Director Darren Aronofsky hopes to
have a final cut ready by as early as next Winter.
And check out some early Batmobile designs for the
