Joss Whedon Behind The Scenes on The Avengers and reminiscing on Batman!

Joss Whedon is on a role this summer, and that's all due in part to his superhero blockbuster flick with Marvel Studios "The Avengers", which is making waves internationally and getting its long awaited release in US theaters this May 4th! Marvel.com has released some more behind the scenes pics, including a shot of the director at the helm of a computer terminal inside S.H.I.E.L.D Headquarters!

However, the man behind Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Firefly was also known for pursuing treatments for other heroes, including DC Comics' own Wonder Woman and Batman! In an article by Cinema Blend, the director goes on to discuss how his treatment for the Caped Crusader got rejected, as well as his favorite scene from the script he submitted, which delves deeper into a young Bruce Wayne's life that is darker and grittier than the one eventually portrayed in Christopher Nolan's epic Batman films! Even if Whedon didn't get The Dark Knight, he certainly got Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and it's a hit that will certainly add more points to his awesome resume!

Be check out more of the behind-the-scenes pics from Marvel.com, and the Cinema Blend article for the story on Whedon's treatment for Batman!
