Director of the beloved 00s Spider-Man trilogy Sam Raimi has admitted that he once thought about switching sides from Marvel to DC to direct a Batman movie.
“I love Batman. I tried to make a Batman film. I couldn't get the rights," said the Evil Dead helmer to Movie Web. "I love The Shadow. I also couldn't get the rights to that one. Superman's always been one of my favorites. Yeah, there's a tremendous amount of DC characters that I love." It is not clear what type of Batman film Raimi wanted to make, or why he couldn't get the rights to direct a DC adaptation.
