12 Shocking Batman Movie Plans That Almost Happened

12. Batman's Vagina Car

Though Tim Burton's Batmobile was a thing of beauty, it was decided on early that Batman Forever would feature a new vehicle for the Caped Crusader, and with Joel Schumacher initially looking to darker material, the director turned to an unconventional source for the design.

In his idiosyncratic "wisdom", he turned to HR Giger - the mind behind Alien's Xenomorph of course - because nothing sells toys to kids like biomechanical nightmares, apparently. Unfortunately, what Giger designed was way too Giger and looked suspiciously like giant mutant genitals. Obviously.

Warner Bros, somewhat inevitably, decided it was a little "out there" for their tastes and went with a different design that didn't look like an angry, painful vagina on wheels.
