10 Unmade Tim Burton Films That Would Have Been Awesome

Now this is one film that definitely would have been better under Tim Burton's direction. Originally intended as a sequel to Batman Returns, a Catwoman solo film languished in development hell for years until Halle Berry starred in the unanimously derided movie in 2004. At first, though, the film had a lot promise.

As directed by Burton and scripted by Batman Returns writer Daniel Waters, Catwoman (still played by Michelle Pfeiffer) would have left Gotham for the Las Vegas-like Oasisburg. According to Waters, the movie would have had "great fun at making fun of the whole male superhero mythos."

Of course, this version could have turned out just as bad as the eventual film - it certainly doesn't sound any more faithful to the comics - but it would at least have brought together the team that created Michelle Pfeiffer's superior sultry-yet-mad-as-a-bag-of-cats version of the character.
