Tim Burton Isn’t Interested in Directing Another Superhero Movie: When I Made ‘Batman,’ ‘The Word Franchise Didn’t Exist’
Tim Burton wouldn't direct another superhero film, saying 'Batman' and 'Batman Returns' were made outside of modern franchise obligations.
However, the filmmaker says he’s not interested in returning to superhero films in today’s industry, with its focus on long-term continuity and cinematic universes. Burton also shares that he initially didn’t possess significant interest in pursuing a sequel to the original “Batman,” but changed his mind after being drawn to the villains of the Penguin and Catwoman. However, neither Burton nor Keaton returned for Warner Bros.’ follow-up “Batman Forever”: that 1995 film saw Joel Schumacher take over directorial duties and Val Kilmer playing Gotham’s caped crusader.
