IMdB verifies the career. amazon & worldcat verify the book. But the book is self-published, and the material at IMdB is not sufficient to show notability either.  DGG ( talk ) 18:54, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with DGG. Doesn't seem to meet WP:AUTHOR or WP:BASIC. A related AfD for her husband is at Articles for deletion/Lee Batchler. I also removed much of the unsourced material. In case anyone wants to see it, here is the version before I did so. Novaseminary (talk) 19:03, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:AUTHOR: "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work ... that has been the subject of ... multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." -- according to Batman Forever, the film had at least 54 reviews.

 * Comment I always thought of that as referring to a novelist who had a book turned into a movie, or more on point, a film director who created the film. In this case, this writer was one of three writers of a screenplay. They (obviously) were not the ones who created the character or anything. Novaseminary (talk) 20:31, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:49, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment A related AfD, Articles for deletion/Lee Batchler, has now been closed as delete. The only potential notability-related difference I see between the two is that she has written a self-published book that, per WorldCat, is held in four libraries. But I cannot imagine that would come close to meeting notability. Novaseminary (talk) 06:39, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
