Batman Film Was Canceled!! Bill Murray Explains Why 80’s Batman With Eddie Murphy Was Called Off
Bill Murray got excited and explained everything when he faced the question that if he would have acted the role of Robin, had Eddie Murphy been Batman.
Murray continued his statement, “I don’t wanna be the Boy Wonder to anybody… Maybe much earlier when I was a boy. But it was too late for that by the 80s. Also, I couldn’t do the outfit.” He explained that Eddie Murphy looks good in purple and he also looks good in purple.
Then he mocked himself by saying, “In red and green, I look like one of Santa’s Elves.” Then he stated that the unfinished Batman production had a lot of vanity in it and it was sure that the film was not gonna happen.
Besides, the executive producer Michael Uslan explained that his version of Batman did not contain the role of Robin and it would have excluded that character completely.
Micheal Uslan tried hard to introduce the darker version of Batman to the screen and he considered it as the response to the iconic Adam West television series from the 1960s.
Initially, everyone refused to take the comic book characters seriously. All studios kept it as a comic character instead of giving a serious role to the characters.
It was changed from the year 1989 when Burton released his super hit film, Batman. Gradually many superheroes appeared in the entertainment industry and it paved the way for big-budget superhero movies like Batman by the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Recently released Batman which starred Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne is one of the darkest versions of the superhero.
