6 Wildest Batman Stories Never Published

5. Batman: Europa

And of course there were the artists: Giuseppe Camuncoli providing layouts for all four issues, Lee painting over issue #1, Camuncoli finishing #2 and Diego Latorre and Jock doing #3 and #4 respectively. At least, that was the plan. Originally announced and solicited in 2004, it was re-announced in 2011 with considerable fanfare (including a cover feature on Diamond Previews), but neither came to anything more than some intriguing plot summaries and all four covers. Odds Of Being Good:90%. The talent involved is considerable, and most are well known for other projects. "Batman teams up with the Joker" isn't all that original a hook, but the added dimensions of a virus slowing him down and a European setting rendered by European natives is still interesting. Odds Of Being Published: 30%. Lee himself may be the holdup, and if the basic layouts are completed, then this project got a lot further than the others on this list.
