Lost Project: Godzilla Vs Batman

[Hellspawn28]

The movie would have been more silly then the 1960's TV series. Batman was campy in the 60's since that's how the comics where. It was until after COIE where they made Batman dark thanks to Frank Miller's "Dark Knight Returns". You can say Toho did the same back in 1984 with "Return of Godzilla" as well.

Funny how Batman and Godzilla had a few things in common. I remember Kpa said DH wanted Superman to fight Godzilla as well in a crossover comic.

Wonder if Batman was put into a size enlargement beam so he was the same size as Godzilla? ....THAT would have ruled.

Fixed.

[Hellspawn28]

Batman is the God Damn Batman, his jobber aura will allow him to do anything. Even kick The Specter across the face.

[Primevalgodzilla V2]

Really? Would that REALLY have been the silliest thing Batman did in the 60s? Shit, if anything it makes Batman an even HUGER bad-ass.

Well, knowing Toho, Batman wouldn't be a well-trained crime fighter, but some 50 meter superhero mutant with bat powers and shit.

DC would have weeped, especially since when people bring up Batman films, this one will be brought up as well.

That sounds awesome, and still no less silly than when he and Robin teamed up with Scooby and Shaggy.

^ That happened back in the 70s too when Batman and Robin teamed up with the Mystery crew to take down the Penguin and Joker.

Did Toho nix the proposal or what exactly killed it?

I have no idea, to be honest.

Also, for people talking about a "giant Batman" fighting Godzilla or something, the short proposal mentioned the various Batman vehicles, so I wager it would be like seeing Godzilla fight the Batmobile, planes, etc. Not that exciting, unless someone finds the parts where Godzilla fights the military to be the highlight of the Showa films.

[King Caesar]

^ Ha maybe the Batcopter would fall onto another convenient pile of rubber like in the movie (1967)

Batman - Where were the other drugs going?!

Godzilla - Rawr!!

Batman - SWEAR TO ME!!

If the Bat-vehicles (controlled by Bats, Robin and Batgirl) could combine into a Voltron (Batron?) we'd be in business!

[King Caesar]

Man I Totally forgot about Batgirl! maybe they all three attack him in the various vehicles and BANG!! POW!! Go team Batman.

Does anyone think Godzilla would be the only Kaiju?

[hammysammy59]

I could absolutely see Mothra joining Batman and friends in the fight against Godzilla.

Picture Adam West Batman talking to the Mothra Fairies. Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[edgaguirus]

Perhaps have Mothra outfitted with bat devices, and team Batman ride Mothra like a vehicle.

[Primevalgodzilla V2]

I still think that Toho wanted Batman to be a 50 metre monster. I mean they did upsize Franky and Kong.....

[King Caesar]

But batman is an actually full out human, unlike the undead Frank and the primate Kong. Could he be increased in size, sure, but according to the description, Batman uses his vehicular weapons. (that might be a run-on sentence, but who cares?)

[edgaguirus]

That doesn't rule out a giant bat bot.

" Robin, fire the bat rockets."

[King Caesar]

^ "Holy atomic bomb, Batman! They didn't do anything!"

Batman: "Drat! Fire them again, Robin!"

[Tyler]

Some days you just can't get rid of an atomic bomb!

[King Caesar]

If you don't destroy an atomic monster with the first shot, run like hell.

Godzilla is like a dog chasing cars.
