How would Tim Burton portray Batman's other villains, Robin and Batgirl?

[Gotham22]

I would have loved to see Burton's Arkham.

One word:

Horribly.

oh yeah, burtons arkham would have been TWISTED man! im not diggin what the way they did arkham in batman begins, it was just some normal place, whereas in the comics its always this totally insane dark crazy place. i actually thought the BB videogame did a betterjob with arkham then the movie did. i actually liked the way schumacher did arkham in Forever, it looks alot like BTAS arkham actually.

I always thought Wayans as Robin was a horrible idea, but I LOVEd how Sam Hamm introduced him in his original BR script. I like this origin even better than the comics.
Batgirl, I don't care.
Robin Williams as Riddler? Gold, genius.
Billy Dee as Two-Face. I found this casting choice ridiculous in B89, but if he had played Two-Face in Batman 3, I'd be very interested to see how he'd play it.
As far as Burton is concerned, I'd only hope he wouldn't make the Riddler too much of a freak. I mean, disturbed (a quality that Schumacher touched upon)? Sure? But not too much. I really have no clue about ho he'd do Robin, though. I can't picture Keaton with any kind of sidekick, heh. "Can't" here doesn't mean "don't want to", I mean it literally.

^ what was Sam Hammes introduction for Robin?

Dick Grayson was a homeless punk who had something to do with the feline statues/ keys to a hidden treasure and he fnids out who Batman is, when Bruce takes off his mask after being hunted by the police. Vicky had seen the boy a couple of times and in the 3rd act, which takes place inside Wayne Manor, he helps Bruce defeat Catwoman and Penguin. Eventually Bruce agrees to keep the boy around and train him.
Oh, and his costume has a small -R-

TLJones didn't know anything else about Two Face, he wasn't familiar with the character and originally turned it down until his son told him he loved Batman. Tommy Lee signs on, he hears that Riddler will be comical, Jack was comical in the first film, and in the original tv show, all of the villains were over the top so he figures "I'll do the same." Same thing goes for Arnold in B&R. Forever was a massive success, so Arnold signs on and everyone sticks with the "comical villain" formula, as it had been successful every previous time.

When Forever was in production, there had been two other films and the former tv show. The first film had an over the top villain as did the show. Returns went a more dark route and got alot of negative views. I may not have liked it much, but I definitely see why they went that route.

TLJones admitted while doing press for Batman Forever that he never heard of Two-Face prior to being offered the role (even though he did read the comics as a child). In a way, I wouldn't blame him since if I'm not mistaken, Harvey Dent/Two-Face made maybe three/four appearances prior to the 1960s-1970s.

Their would be no Batgirl at all....Robin if done right would be great.

 

[Catman]

Their would be no Batgirl at all....

He may have added the character just for sex appeal.

 

[Fresh Prince]

WTF?....What Batgirl be some stripper who gets nearly raped by gang, then Batman comes and saves her....See's she is a really good fighter on the low who can defened herself.....So he gives her a home at his mansion to clean her life up, she finds out he is Batman and becomes his sidekick next to Robin?....Yeah I can see Burton doing something like that....And funny thing is my orgin of Batgirl is better then Schunaker's.....Anyways who you think Burton get to play Batgirl?

 

[Catman]

What I'm saying is that Dick Grayson would have gotten a love interest. I don't think Burton would have wanted to make a movie with three dudes living alone and no woman around. Barbara would have been introduced to keep Dick busy.

 

[Fresh Prince]

Catman thats not a bad idea....Having Barbara Gordon be a lover to Robin....And no 3 dudes livivng in a house all alone, someone needs a women...Bruce can get any women he wants though.

 

[Catman]

Tim Burton disliked Robin and kept pushing him back. So, he would have done the same with Batgirl. But he knew that Dick Grayson needed to get laid. So, he would have introduced Barbara Gordon but waited a while for Batgirl.

 

[Fresh Prince]

I rather his version just be Batman as a loner.

 

[El Payaso]

I rather his version just be Batman as a loner.

 

[Fresh Prince]

Thanks for agreeing.

 

[JerseyJoker]

I never liked the idea or direction Burton was going with the Two-Face, Robin or Riddler.

 

[Matt.S99]

What was he gonna do with Two face?

 

[Fresh Prince]

Have Catwomen I think scar his face.....And I think he was gonna be a corrupt district attornye too funding the mob by helping them not go to prison and if so not be in their long.

A hypothetical Mr. Freeze theme (by Danny Elfman of course) in a Tim Burton Batman movie:
