FanScription

How would Tim Burton and Michael Keaton have handled 1997's disastrous 'Batman & Robin'? Rob and Walter give you their interpretation in chapter 1 of a massive 3 part FanScription event!

It's one of the great unanswered questions in superhero movie history. What if Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4 wasn't canceled? There are many details out there about what Tobey Maguire and company had in store for us in the planned 2011 installment. So we've combined some of those ideas with our own to craft an original story for the fabled sequel. Hop on board, web-heads, and follow FanScription to an alternate universe where Spider-Man 4…actually happened.

It's the 30th anniversary of "Hook"! And we're celebrating with Rufio himself, Dante Basco! He voices his iconic character in this very special FanScription that asks where the character could have been taken if he didn't perish at the hands of Captain Hook. Only one thing left to say...BANGARANG!!!

The Amazing Spider-Man films divided many fans of Marvel's wall-crawler. With the 2014 sequel disappointing at the box office, Sony struck a deal with Disney that led to Tom Holland's take on the character in the MCU. There were plans for an "Amazing Spider-Man 3" before the series's cancellation, but how would it have turned out? Would the filmmakers have redeemed themselves or gone further down Sony's abyss of over bloated blockbusters and franchise building? FanScription is here to theorize on how things might have gone when we ask... What if "The Amazing Spider-Man 3" happened?

With appearances in live action films, her own animated series, comics and more, Harley Quinn has recently rivaled the popularity of her boss/lover/enemy, The Joker. Back in 2008, the character was well known, but Christopher Nolan elected not to add her into his seminal "Dark Knight" film. Was it possible for Harley to mesh into that movie with its dark/realistic tone and have her stand alongside the academy award winning performance of Heath Ledger's Mr. J? FanScription is once again the show you both need and deserve to answer that question.

Walter, Rob and Malcolm discuss behind the scenes tidbits and answer your questions about our biggest FanScription to date, "What If Tim Burton Directed Batman Forever?"

While the "Monsters, Inc." franchise has marched forward with a prequel film and series, it's never addressed how the relationship between Sully and Boo continued on after the first film. It's unlikely that we'll get an answer any time soon as director Pete Docter has said he wants to leave it up to the audience to wonder where the characters' friendship went in the future. Well, here's FanScription's interpretation! Doug Walker asks and answers the question; What if Boo grew up in a "Monsters, Inc." sequel?

Our most requested video has finally arrived! Tim Burton was slated to direct a 3rd Batman movie in the mid '90s before handing off the project to Joel Schumacher. The result was 1995's "Batman Forever". But how would things have gone if Burton stayed on-board and made a third film to round out his own Dark Knight Trilogy? Rob and Walter give it their best shot as we close out Bat-May 2021 with FanScription's version of a Tim Burton "Batman Forever'!  

Regardless of how you feel about the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, most people who loved the Finn character thought he deserved better by the end. In our longest FanScription yet, we place Finn at the center of the new films as its main character. How would things have been different? What would have changed? Find out here!

Continuing with our Christian Bale Batman in the DCEU storyline, we take a look at how 2017’s “Justice League” would have changed if Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight led the team of Earth’s protectors. New enemies are made and new relationships are forged in this episode of FanScription.

The creators of the Back to the Future franchise have said for decades that a fourth installment will never be made. But what if that wasn't the case? How could we write a workable sequel to one of the greatest trilogies in film history? Find out, as FanScription travels to a timeline where Back to the Future Part IV actually happened.

Tarzan being Anna and Elsa's long lost brother is a theory originally pushed by Frozen/Tarzan co-director, Chris Buck. While Frozen 2 officially shut the door on that prospect, it doesn't mean we can't ponder the possibilities. So what if these two franchises collided in one film? Let's take a trip into Disney Elseworlds and find out!

Jingle All The Way may still be maligned by critics to this day, but a dedicated fanbase has made it a Christmas classic. Walter breaks down why, in this holiday themed FanScription Editorial!

Billy Dee Williams's Harvey Dent was one of the biggest missed opportunities in the early Batman films. After being featured in Tim Burton's 1989 epic, he went missing in the sequel; Batman Returns. But what would have happened to the character if he showed up in this 1992 cult favorite? Rob is here to answer that question and much more in this episode of FanScription!

Rob takes on the difficult task of improving the infamous Ghostbusters reboot with the goal of making it closer to other aspects of the property, while also trying to retain some of the 2016 film's originality. Does he succeed?! Find out!

It's been 4 years since Ghostbusters 2016 divided the internet. With the added advantage of perspective, Rob breaks down what didn't work about the film while giving props to the aspects that did.

Walter and Doug discuss the Incredibles 2 FanScription and everything Bill & Ted. Including thoughts on the new sequel, Bill & Ted Face The Music!

The Incredibles was a runaway success for Pixar and Disney and after 14 years, the sequel finally hit theaters. But to the surprise of some fans, the characters didn't age a day. What if Incredibles 2 took a time gap into account and the Parr family aged with their audience? This DisneyElseWorlds is here to answer that question! What if The Incredibles got older?

Walter states his case for Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey being far superior to Excellent Adventure in this FanScription Editorial!

Rob and Walter discuss the recent "Christian Bale in BvS" FanScription along with Alfred's role in the Tim Burton Batman movies!

Tim Burton's Alfred caught some flack for letting Vicki Vale into the Batcave back in the 1989 Batman film, but was it warranted? Rob defends Michael Gough's Alfred in this FanScription Editorial!

Christian Bale played Batman in the lauded Dark Knight trilogy for over 7 years before Zack Snyder rebooted the character to fight Superman in 2016's Dawn of Justice. While Ben Affleck's version of The Caped Crusader received high praise, some couldn't help, but wonder how Bale's Batman would have fared in this new world. Well, wonder no more! FanScription presents, "What If Christian Bale Was In Batman v Superman?"

Rob and Walter discuss the legacy and influence of The Simpsons. Plus how they seemingly predicted the future!

Did old episodes of The Simpsons really predict future events? Not quite. Rob Walker explains in a new FanScription Editorial.

Rob and Walter are joined by Doug to discuss Space Jam, Star Wars, Pixar and much more!

Lola Bunny was new to the Looney Tunes' cast in 1996's Space Jam. For years after, she wasn't used much until being revived in 2011 as a whole different character. With Lola's characterization being somewhat limited in Space Jam, what would have been if the later, more comedy focused Lola debuted in the Michael Jordan/Looney Tunes crossover? Doug Walker asks, what if Lola was funny in Space Jam?

On the surface, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Pixar's latest, Onward, might not have that much in common(besides their parent company). But the endings to their stories are notable for very different reasons. Rob brings you his case on how they saved both movies in this month's FanScription Editorial!

Rob and Walter talk about April's FanScription episodes including the deep dive into Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Aladdin's bearded makeover. Join them as they go behind the scenes of how these were made and tell stories of their initial memories of the films discussed!

Jafar is one of Disney's most popular animated villains. While he achieved a very short false victory in the original Aladdin film, what would have happened if he had succeeded in defeating his rival, keeping Genie and ruling Agrabah? What lengths would Jafar have gone to to satisfy his evil ambitions? And where would that leave our heroes? Would there be any chance of retribution? In short...what if Jafar won? Let FanScription show you a whole new world in this DisneyElseWorlds tale.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit's dedication to character is not praised as much as it should be. Director Robert Zemeckis uses several different techniques to present information to the audience that makes this film a master's class in exposition. Rob digs deep into this 1988 classic in another FanScription Editorial.

Frozen 2 broke box office records and introduced new elements into the lore of this modern Disney classic franchise. But what if one of its main characters had turned to the dark side, and the other had to bring her back? Plus, just who is pulling the strings on this new adventure? The answers may surprise you. Continuing our own twist on the Frozen story, we ask; what if Anna was the villain in Frozen 2?

What can be revealed by watching the Indiana Jones movies in the story's chronological order? Starting with the flashback at the beginning of Last Crusade, then hopping to Temple of Doom, Raiders and so forth, presents Jones as a much more well drawn out character than he's often given credit for. Rob takes a deep dive into this series and its protagonist in our very first FanScription Editorial!

Rob and Walter talk about their different experiences with the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. Walter also speaks on his process behind making the Qui-Gon 2 parter, along with thoughts on the Clone Wars series and its impact on Revenge of The Sith. All that and more in this episode of the FanScription Podcast!  

Part 2 of our Qui-Gon in the prequels story wraps up with Revenge of The Sith. Will Qiui-Gon save Anakin from the Dark side? Will the Jedi Order still fall as the Empire rises? Qui-Gon's influence would definitely have changed certain events considerably, but would he be enough to stop Palpatine from taking over the galaxy? Find out here, you scruffy lookin' nerf herders!

If Qui-Gon Jinn survived his fight with Darth Maul and lived to train Anakin Skywalker, as he meant to, how would the Prequel Trilogy have been different? Would Anakin have turned to the Dark side? Could Qui-Gon have stopped Palpatine from forming The Empire? Would the changes have been so significant, that they heavily altered the Original Trilogy as we know it? It's a popular question among Star Wars fans and there's no better place to take you through this alternate history than FanScription! Here's Part 1 of our story. May the Force be with you.

Rob talks with Walter about the challenges of incorporating Harley Quinn into the Tim Burton Batman universe. Also, with a new movie and cartoon series out, is Harley Quinn being overexposed? The FanScription hosts share their thoughts on this and more!

Harley Quinn was created for Batman: The Animated Series in 1992 by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm. This was 3 years after Tim Burton's Batman film brought the Dark Knight back to his gothic roots. But what if Burton had the opportunity to put his own spin on The Joker's better half? How would have Jack Nicholson's version of the Clown Prince of Crime interacted with the now iconic DC character? Who would have even played her in 1989? Holy fan fiction, Batman! Rob Walker brings you his version of how it all would have went down in this month's FanScription!

Walter and Rob go into more detail on their "Dark Rey" change to the Star Wars sequel trilogy on this episode of Fanscription.

Rian Johnson's Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a very polarizing film amongst the fanbase. While he thwarted expectations and gave fans something new, he didn't seem to fully commit to Kylo's mantra of "Let the past die." Kylo and Rey seemed to almost join forces at one point and embracing that idea got us thinking...What if Rey DID join Kylo? How would that revelation affect the story and characters we've come to know? With The Rise of Skywalker and the end of the main Star Wars series at hand, it's time to answer that question and more in this month's episode! Remember...FanScription will be with you...always.

Walter and Rob return to talk more about Frozen and their change to Frozen.   Why did they make Anna the villain?  Find out on this episode of the FanSciption Podcast!

Frozen became an absolute phenomenon when it was released in 2013. Sisters, Anna and Elsa stole the hearts of audiences worldwide, but in Disney Elseworlds, happily ever after isn't always guaranteed. What if Elsa's magic twisted the pure hearted Anna into something...colder? With Frozen 2 hitting theaters, it's time to let it go and find out in this month's FanScription!

Walter and Rob are back to talk a bit more about the changes that they made to the Haunted Mansion, in this episode of the Fanscription Podcast.

In 2003 Disney released 2 films based on attractions that originated at Disneyland. One was the highly successful Pirates of the Caribbean. This was the other one... Welcome foolish mortals, to this month's spooky FanScription! Join Rob Walker as he does his best to fix this mess of a movie in his rewrite of The Haunted Mansion!

Walter and Rob go into more detail with their last two episodes on The Joker being in Dark Knight Rises.

For many, Heath Ledger's Joker still defines the iconic Batman villain 11 years after his Oscar winning performance set the world on fire. 2012's The Dark Knight Rises finished off director Christopher Nolan's trilogy, but with Ledger unexpectedly passing away in 2008, his presence was sorely missed. Well, what if Ledger was able to reprise his role? What if this third film was so big it had to be split into 2 parts? What if The Joker was in The Dark Knight Rises? Creativity, as you know, is like gravity...all it takes is a little push! FanScription brings you the conclusion of our most epic story yet!

Walter and Rob dive deeper into their Avengers: Endgame "what if" in this episode of the FanScription Podcast.  

Avengers: Endgame is the highest grossing movie of all time. Its critical and commercial success has made the film a gargantuan achievement for Marvel and Disney. But is it perfect? Rob Walker brings you his version of events if Black Widow had survived that fateful trip to Vormir which just might have served that character and Hawkeye a little bit better. FanScriptioneers...assemble.

Walter and Rob are back to give you a bit more detail on their Lion King episode from last week.   This is the follow up in depth podcast to the previous episode, What If Scar Raised Simba In The Lion King. 

With the "live action" remake now in theaters, the original Lion King is back in the spotlight. It defined a generation and is universally adored, but it's always fun to ask "What if?". So what if one of the most evil villains in animation history, Scar, raised Mufasa's son, Simba? It opens up a whole new realm of possibilities that we never saw! Well, Hakuna Matata because instead of a rehash of the Disney classic, we here at FanScription bring you a brand new version of The Lion King!
