Joel Schumacher wanted to make The Dark Knight with Nic Cage as The Scarecrow

Batman & Robin director Joel Schumacher has claimed he wanted to make a Dark Knight style follow-up to the Batman film even Batman says is terrible.
 
But Warner Brothers liked the Batman & Robin dailies so much (HOW?) they tasked Schumacher with making a fifth film, presumably starring Clooney, entitled Batman Triumphant.
 
“I was supposed to do a fifth one” Schumacher said. “I was talking to Nic Cage about playing the Scarecrow. I had begged the studio for The Dark Knight but they wanted a family friendly, toyetic thing.”

When she was asked if she would be up for starring in Wonder Woman for Winding Refn, she said, “I think he is such an extraordinary and exceptional director, that if he asked me to do it, I would do it in a heartbeat.”
