Well, studios still aren't learning, and they've been working on a remake.
Originally they were going to make a prequel, and were working on it back in 2007 with Gerard Butler in the main role...
The project has had various directors attached, Brett Ratner, Len Wiseman (lol!), Jonathon Mostow (who did actually write a script back in 2008)... Butler dropped out though, and they dropped that prequel idea and decided a remake was a better idea.
So, since then, Joel Silver has taken up the reigns as producer and dropped out, Jeremy Renner was attached for a while in the lead, and Charlie Hunnam has been rumoured. as well to play Snake.
Joel Silver's company also write a treatment for a script, and it was based directly on the videogame Batman: Arkham Asylum.
Now we've got FOX with the rights to the remake, and they've hired ex-Silver employee Andrew Rona, the man behind Scary Movie, as their producer.
Neil Cross, the man behind two 2 Dr WHO episodes and the 2013 movie Mama, is now writing.
Things are not looking good.
No news on release dates yet.
