Tim Burton Has No Interest In Doing Another Superhero Movie

I don’t know, I feel like Squirrel Boy could benefit from Tim Burton’s gothic and eccentric touch. In all seriousness, Burton does have a point. When he was working on Batman, Superman, played by Christopher Reeve, was the only superhero who’d experienced any major success leading full-length theatrical movies. This genre was largely untapped, and since Burton’s Batman movie was pulling from the character’s darker roots rather than replicating the formula of the Batman TV series, that allowed him to take more creative liberties. As a result, both Batman and Batman Returns showed those unfamiliar with the comics that Batman could be a darker character, though it’d be another decade before other superheroes started to be brought to the silver screen and experience the same kind of success Burton’s Batman movies did.
