  • Anyone interested in a copy of this trailer: I am making it available for download via Limewire. Search for 'Orson Welles Batman' and you should find it. Film is a bit over 1.6GB though!

    Enjoy!

  • I certainly am. Is it still available?

  • Check Limewire most evenings (UK time) as I connect then for a few hours at least.

  • Orson Welles would have been the greatest Batman/Bruce Wayne!

  • The bat Bruce saw here as inspiration was - as much I could see it right - a Franquet-flying dog, a pretty big one amoung the batspecies.

  • Edward G. Robinson would have made an awesome Penguin.

  • This would have been the greatest movie ever made. Orson should have actually done it.

  • he was going to make this movie, but joseph cotten was supposed to play the joker, too bad though that he didn't get to make it. was it the lawsuit from citizen kane that prevented it from happening, if anyone builds a time machine, go back and help him make it

  • You have excellent editing skills!

  • I just looked it up, and the best that this can be filed under is "unknown". However, the fact that the story mentions the Riddler being cast when the character was not created until a year later makes me lean towards thinking that you may be correct.

    Thanks for the information.

    References to the hoax, originated by Mark Millar on the Comic Book Resources site in 2003.

  • That's simply incorrect. Type "Batman" and "Orson Welles" into Google, and you'll find numerous accounts of his interest in the project, and why it never got made.
