In April of 2021, Creator/WarnerBros announced a sequel to their 90s pop culture landmark ''Film/SpaceJam'' titled ''Film/SpaceJamANewLegacy''. Though many fans were excited to see the Franchise/LooneyTunes hit the basketball courts once again, there were those who couldn't help but feel disappointed that most of the plot points from the first film had seemingly been dropped for the sequel; the most glaring omission being the absence of the original protagonist UsefulNotes/MichaelJordan, whose role was now filled by fellow NBA superstar UsefulNotes/LeBronJames. While it would be easy to argue that it was only natural to start with a blank slate as the original ''Space Jam'' came out 25 years ago and it wouldn't be right to expect all the audience members had seen it, that didn't stop some from coming up with their own conspiracy theories, believing Warner had something they wanted to hide.
One of those conspiracy theorists was [=YouTuber=] WebVideo/SuperEyepatchWolf, who did some digging of his own and was shocked at what he found. Shortly after the original ''Space Jam'''s release, Michael Jordan himself pitched a sequel by the name of ''Space Jam 2: Battle for Reality'', only for it to be rejected by Warner executives who felt his plans were wildly infeasible at best, and outright impossible at worst. With help from a mysterious informant named "[[SignificantAnagram Miracle Jan Doh]]", Eyepatch Wolf was able to get his hands on Jordan's script, along with storyboards and production notes, and on May 2nd, he revealed them all to the public for the first time in a video titled "[[https://youtu.be/xhk2gzmU35E Space Jam 2: How Warner Bros is Lying to You]]".
The story begins several years after the first movie. Michael Jordan, now in the twilight of his basketball career, has settled down with Bugs Bunny, and though he still has nightmares about his fall from grace, is living an otherwise peaceful life. That peace is soon shattered when Mr. Swackhammer makes his return, challenging the Looney Tunes to a rematch against a new, even stronger team of Monstars, with barely any time to prepare themselves. And what's worse, somebody has already agreed to these unreasonable conditions on their behalf, suggesting there may be a traitor amongst the Tunes...

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: In the production notes, there exist schematics for a trapdoor that Michael Jordan would hide under during select screenings of the movie until his first rampage, where he would jump out of said trapdoor to attack the audience itself.
* HostileShowTakeover: During Michael Jordan's initial rampage after [[spoiler: Bugs Bunny's death]], it's stated in the production notes that the film would've had alternate cuts of various Warner Bros. movies (like ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'', ''Film/BatmanBegins'', and ''Film/ScoobyDoo'') playing alongside it where Michael invades and terrorizes their worlds, which is where the "fourth dimensional" elements of the movie come into play.
* LeaveTheCameraRunning: There was meant to be a lengthy sequence near the end of the movie with [[spoiler: Michael Jordan floating alone in the void of space after he defeats [=LeBron=] James, devastating the universe in the process]]. The original plan was for this scene to last ''400 years in real time'', and it was only changed when that turned out to be impossible.
