The Wonderful World Of Tim Burton | Batman (1989)
Batman (1989)
When Burton was drafted in to revive a classic comic-book character from the colourful obscurity in which it had been resting since the '60s, he had to totally reinvent the genre. In a time when movies such as Superman rested in a neatly bright and largely optimistic world, his Batman was "about depression, and it's about lack of integration". Burton said recently: "When I did Batman in 1988, it was a different time in comic-book movies. You couldn't go into that 'dark side' of comics yet." That all changed with his shadowy Gotham, brooding Bruce Wayne and manic Joker, and the superhero protector underwent a sea-change that hugely influenced the current era.
