Paul Dini was a huge fan of The Sandman and even talked to Neil Gaiman about Sandman and his sister Death appearing in an episode. The concept involved a huge action-packed opening in which most of the villains nearly beat Batman to death. Batman would encounter Death, but Sandman talks her into letting him live. He then shows Batman the impact he has on people, especially in their dreams and the nightmares of criminals. Neil Gaiman approved of it and gave it his blessing, but it went unmade for a variety of reasons, including: 1) the DC/Vertigo split, 2) that there was no "action" outside of the first act, 3) that the episode was too cerebral for a "kid's show," 4) producer Alan Burnett didn't want to do too many stories about the supernatural, and 5) that Sandman was a comic for adults, and the show could easily be accused of promoting adult material to children.
