Speaking to Empire magazine, Burton revealed that he has not yet seen Matt Reeves’ “The Batman”
The American director expressed his bitterness that he was forced to leave the successful Batman movie franchise, which he established Tim Burton.
The well-known director finds it “funny” to see the movie franchise with Batman becoming darker and darker, after “The Batman” by Matt Reeves which was a huge success at the box office, when the dark tone he had given to Bat Man in his two films forced him to leave the franchise after the 1992 “Batman Returns”.
Speaking to the magazine Empire, Burton reveals he has not seen “The Batman” yet [ «Θα ήθελα να το δω» διευκρίνισε] but added, “It’s funny to see that now “(the ‘dark’ Batman), because all these ‘It’s very dark’ memories come, and that makes me laugh a little.”
Burton’s “Batman Returns” met with some resistance from Warner Bros.’s studio due to its dark tone, and the studio did not want to continue with a third Burton film. The director left and was replaced by him Joel Schumacherwho went in a completely opposite direction from Burton, with a comic kitsch tone with “Batman Forever” and “Batman & Robin”.
«[Τότε] “They took the opposite path,” Burton said. “It’s funny. But then I said, ‘Wait a minute. Okay. Wait a minute here. You complain about me, I’m very curious, I’m very dark, and then go and put nipples in the suit [σ.σ του Batman]; Ante c …. e. Seriously. Well, yes, I think that’s why I did not come to that conclusion [να κάνω μια τρίτη ταινία.]».
“I’m not just too dark,” Burton added. “It simply came to our notice then. I do not intend too much darkness. There is a mixture … I feel very affectionate about it [«Batman Returns»] because you felt it was a strange experiment. ”
