- Sam Hamm (born November 19, 1955) is an American screenwriter, perhaps best known for writing the screenplay for Tim Burton's Batman. He also wrote an unused screenplay for the sequel, and an unproduced treatment for a Watchmen adaptation. When director Chris Columbus took over the helm of the new Planet of the Apes movie for 20th Century Fox in early 1995 he hired Sam Hamm (Columbus' co-writer on an unproduced Fantastic Four script). Hamm's final Planet of the Apes draft kept some aspects of Terry Hayes' script but owed much to Pierre Boulle's source novel.

| - Sam Hamm is an American screenwriter. Hamm wrote the original screenplay for Batman. After a writers strike, it underwent numerous revisions by Warren Skaaren, Charles McKeown and Jonathan Gems. While on strike, he was invited by Denny O'Neil to write for Detective Comics and the result was Batman: Blind Justice, which introduced Bruce Wayne's mentor, Henri Ducard, who later appeared (in a different way than the original) in Batman Begins. Hamm wrote an unused Batman II screenplay with a completely different story than what appeared in the final film. Burton disliked the story so much that he hired Daniel Waters to take the narrative in a completely different direction. However, Hamm has been credited for writing the screen story of Batman Returns. Other works of Sam Hamm include Never Cry Wolf, Monkeybone and three unused drafts for Fantastic Four, Planet of the Apes and Watchmen.
- Sam Hamm (born November 19, 1955) is an American screenwriter, perhaps best known for writing the screenplay for Tim Burton's Batman. He also wrote an unused screenplay for the sequel, and an unproduced treatment for a Watchmen adaptation. When director Chris Columbus took over the helm of the new Planet of the Apes movie for 20th Century Fox in early 1995 he hired Sam Hamm (Columbus' co-writer on an unproduced Fantastic Four script). Hamm's final Planet of the Apes draft kept some aspects of Terry Hayes' script but owed much to Pierre Boulle's source novel. An ape astronaut from another planet crash-lands in New York harbor, launching a virus that will make human beings extinct. Dr. Susan Landis, who works for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Alexander Troy, an Area 51 scientist, and a team of pilots and scientists use the ape's spacecraft to return to the virus' planet of origin, hoping to find an antidote. They find an urban ape civilization, led by 'Lord Zaius', where apes armed with heavy weapons hunt speechless humans. Dodge, a Jamaican astronaut, suffers the same fate as the original's Landon, while male astronaut Stewart didn't survive the trip. Landis and Troy discover the antidote and return to Earth, only to find in their 74-year absence that apes have taken over the planet. 'The Statue of Liberty's once proud porcelain features have been crudely chiseled into the grotesque likeness of a great grinning ape'. "We tried to do a story that was simultaneously a homage to the elements we liked from the five films, and would also incorporate a lot of material [from Boulle's novel] that had been jettisoned from the earlier production," Hamm said. "The first half of the script bore little resemblance to the book, but a lot of the stuff in the second half comes directly from it, or directly inspired by it." After Hamm's script failed to meet Fox's approval however, Columbus dropped out in late 1995.
