Yeah, Stanley Kubrick actually threw a little subtle shot at Stephen King and his original Shining novel at the beginning of the film. In fact, this film is full of subliminal imagery and underlying messages pertaining to Native Americans being killed during the "discovery" of America and Kubrick's alleged involvement in faking the Apollo 11 moon landing footage for NASA.

The initial pick to play Batman was Bill Murray. It's just one of the many, many films that offered Bill Murray a lead role and (most likely) turned out better because he turned it down. Some others include Han Solo in Star Wars, Raymond in Rain Man, Forrest Gump and the voice of Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story.
Christian Bale once auditioned for Robin. He's vague about talking about it now, but apparently Christian Bale auditioned to be Robin in Batman Forever. The role would go to Chris O'Donnell, and that was probably the better choice. Because all the set reports from Batman Forever say it was NOT a set of people acting like professionals -- Joel Schumacher, Tommy Lee Jones and Val Kilmer all hated each other -- and Bale didn't quite have the clout yet to berate everyone for not acting like professionals.
If Batman & Robin hadn't bombed, a fifth movie was ready to go -- with a cast member from Perfect Strangers. It was called Batman Triumphant and would've come out in 1999. Clooney would've been back as Batman. And then the casting rumors get progressively weirder. Nicholas Cage would've been pursued to be the Scarecrow... Madonna would've been pursued to be Harley Quinn... and, best of all, Mark Linn-Baker of Perfect Strangers would've been pursued as a villain called Man-Bat
One of the Wayans brothers was signed on to play Robin until just days before Batman Returns started filming. I can't believe this one, but Batman Returns was supposed to have Robin alongside Batman, taking on the Penguin and Catwoman. And Robin was going to be... Marlon Wayans. The role was cut just days before they started shooting.
