While sitting in front of my computer waiting for a call, I decided to "surf" the Wikipedia website for various things.
After reading everything there was to know about George Romero and the Living Dead movie series, I decided to read up on Batman Begins.
Aside from giving a complete synopsis of the plot, cast info and tidbits about the sequel, Wikipedia includes quite a bit of info on the long road between Schumacher's horrible "Batman & Robin" and "Batman Begins"
The thing I found most interesting was that none other than Bret "the Hitman" Hart was once considered to play the role of Batman in a late-nineties movie that would return the dark knight to his dark and violently physical roots. Further research revealde that Hart was pretty much a lock for the role, but Warner Brothers' eventual rejection of the film and the directors ended Hart's alternate road to stardom before he could get on it.
As a self-professed Batman and Bret hart mega-fan, i have to admit that I had no clue of this bit of trivia. Who says Wikipedia is boring?
