Tim Burton on Why the ‘Batman’ Films Have Changed and How ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ Saved Him From Retirement After ‘Dumbo’: ‘That Could Have Been It’


Tim Burton discusses ‘Batman,’ ‘Beetlejuice,’ ‘Ed Wood’ and what Burtonesque means to him ahead of his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.

But his reaction to the news perfectly matches the playful, macabre sensibility that has driven his 20 films to almost $4.5 billion in worldwide box office receipts and made a household name out of a filmmaker who has constantly been perceived as an outsider. With films like “Sleepy Hollow,” “Corpse Bride,” Dark Shadows” and “Frankenweenie” under his belt, the director knows a thing or two about the living and the dead. Clockwise from left: Michael Keaton as “Beetlejuice”; “Ed Wood,” starring Johnny Depp; “Big Fish”; “Mars Attacks” Ed Wood: Buena Vista Pictures; Mars Attacks: Warner Bros./Everett Collection; Big Fish: Columbia Pictures/Everett Collection; Beetlejuice: Warner Bros.
