So I found the original Batman script for the 1989 movie (written in 1986) by Sam Ham and WOW does it suck!
The script is very different than the movie that was shot. There are a few of the same scenes and the main plot is intact, but the actual movie is like a much much much better version of what Sam Ham originally wrote. The biggest differance is the inclusion of Robin, who's introduced and parents are mudered within minuest and was so rushed that I could care at all.
The script is FILLED with lots of extreamly awkward moments and bad dialogue. Batman is very much out of character, and that's by mid 80's standards. It felt more like Vickey Vale was the main character and whenever her and Batman were together the script transformed into a bad romantic comedy. There was a scene where Batman uses a bow-staff and is constantly using drug tipped ninja stars. But I can't stress enough how bad the dialogue was.
Although, being a huge Batman fan, it was an interesting read. But thank god for Tim Burton, cuz that movie could have been terrible.

Ninja stars and a Bo staff, I wonder if Sam Ham had ever even looked at a Batman comic?

Is this the actual approved script or an early draft?
