| I think Jim tends to bullshit on occasions with some weird stories (but that\'s what you get by hanging around with Meat Loaf for so long). However, he seems to have released a lot of genuine info on his blog, about the Bat show, and I am very optimistic that it will happen in 2008. The only doubtful point is that it does sound like a very expensive project, and the whole thing could financially im-lode at any stage, between now & curtain up. Hopefully not, and I do hope Jim writes at least one BRAND NEW UNHEARD song for the show; \'Paradise Lost\' may fit the bill, if it is indeed a follow-up to \'...Dashboard Light\'. > > > > Uhm batman got way way farther..... > > > > No it didn\\\'t. > Sure, the all-powerful media giant Warner Bros. were going > to produce it, but did they? > Tim Burton met with Jim and David Ives, they had many > creative discussions, then Burton went off and did other > stuff and seemed to totally forget about it.
