I agree. A fairy-tale type of Scarecrow story would be perfect Burton material, and with Depp in the role, and Elfman music... this would seriously rock! :)
For some reason, I always pictured it as being a Halloween'ish time of year for the story to take place.  Clearly the potential for a kickass third entry was there.

Well, Tim does love the holidays - Halloween and Christmas - just look at most of his films.

So its pretty certain that it would have been at Halloween.

Awesome idea it would fit in with the story as perfectly as the christmas theme did in returns  :D.

That would be particularly intersting if they revisited Bo Welsh's sets of Gotham becaue you'd see it almost in a new way if there was no longer any snow.

If I were the big boss at WB from 1992-1995, here is what I would have done to secure a superb third Batman film: 

 1. Obviously I would give the job to Burton for director/producer. 

2. I would commission Sam Hamm to write the story and Daniel Waters to write the screenplay, as was the case in BR. 

 3. As for the villain, Two-Face is a must!!! I know that saying this is heresy for many, but I still would have liked Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face. I think that with the right script and direction he would have been perfect, considering that he has played lawyers, cops and lunatics before in his career. I think he is a great actor.

4. I would try to call it something other than "Batman Forever". I think one title that would be cool is "Batman: A Two-Sided Story" even though I stole that from the Two-Face stage from the Sega Genesis version of "The Adventures of Batman & Robin". Other than that, I can only come up with "Batman III" :-\ or "Batman Returns Again". :P

Here is how I see the basic scenario for the film:

I would like the movie to start out similar to how it started in BF, where Two-Face has already been scarred and is causing chaos. I also liked how in BF Two-Face wants to kill Batman because Two-Face, like Batman, should be about revenge as well as duality. I would have Two-Face rob and destroy buildings and addresses in Gotham City with an even number at the end of them as a way to lure Batman. I would also have Two-Face going on a gangster killing spree by first murdering Boss Maroni, then the bosses/gangsters who got off from having to go to jail because they either bribed or threatened jurors, and finally the bosses who, although are bad, did not actually commit the crimes that they were being tried for. Then I would have Two-Face steal their money and give it to the homeless and victims of the mob, similar to "Robin Hood" and Two-Face's first appearance in 1942. While the movie is playing, we will cut to scenes of the pre-scarred Harvey Dent and his relationship with Batman leading up to the courtroom scene when Maroni scars Dent.

If this film were made, we would have never have gotten a B&R!

Sounds good i like your idea i perfer it when theres only one villian returns worked fine though but with Tommy Lee Jones while i agree that hes a top actor and could do a perfect Two-Face if he tryed you still have him going from a black man to a white man. I also like your ideas with Sam Hamm and Daniel Waters and keeping on Burton but you didn't say who you would have as Batman.

I would have Michael Keaton play Batman again. As for Dent going from black to white, I can't really find an answer that is satisfactory. It would just have to be one of those things that you would have to block out of your mind, no disrespect to Mr. Williams. It is still the same character. You could also argue that Bruce's mansion in BR was on what appeared to be a hilltop as opposed to the vast manor on flat land that he lived in from B89. Again, it is still Wayne Manor. :)

This would be so cool. He can re-cast Keaton as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Robin Williams as the Riddler, and Billy Dee Williams as Two-Face. And with today's technology, this film could blow both of the Nolan films OUT OF THE WATER. Considering how Forever was originally supposed to be darker than Returns, which was 10X more dark Batman 1989, this could be the most DARK, GOTHIC Batman movie yet. Just re-write the plot, and delete Robin from the story, and you have THE BEST BATMAN MOVIE YET!

It will never happen. The only thing we could ever hope for, realisticaly, would maybe be a novel or comic adaption of his story. I personally would just like to see a basic outline and cast for what he would have done. I want something confirmed and solid from the man himself.

If there's enough people and there's money involved, it could or will happen.

Id be up for it, but now its unlikely. I think an animated or a comic of some kind is the best we could ever hope for, or just an interview with Burton himself on what he would have done.
