Great idea, he would have made a fantastic scarecrow. But I'm like you a major Cillian fan and thought he was one of the best thing in BB, I hope he doesn't die in TDK.

I hope cillian gets tasered and dragged off by a horse screaming in the 2nd one and the same in the third one like a running gag..get it running

Schumacher was reportedly a big Frank Miller fan and wanted to to DKR but because of all the ruckas caused by Batman Returns WB wanted to go lighter. I think JS would have tried to get DKR made in it's proper tone.

For starters, he would have then made Batman Triumphant with a new actor as Batman and Robin & Batgirl returning to my dismay. After a trilogy of his he may have then did The Dark Knight Returns. That or the studios would have just continued the series with another director. We probably wouldn't have gotten Batman Begins.

Not so much. I don't think his heavy influence of german expressionism really fits the world of Batman. Plus his films were more about the villains than the actual character of Bruce Wayne/Batman. They're enjoyable...but not great or Batman in anyway.

I think Burton did an amazing job, they had flaws but overall I loved his films. I think his influence of art deco, 30s/40s, combined with German expressionism fit Gotham perfectly. His films were a bit more about the villains but as he's said numerous times, if you don't understand why you are missing the entire point. I think they were very Batman, Wayne was a conflicted soul and his Batman was mysterious and dark IMO. Can't argue opinions.

Michael Keaton was great. He brought a certain sadness and dignity to the role that were very Dark Knight, he totally respected the character and never winked like Kilmer or Clooney did. He wasn't helped by a very stiff suit but did his best within those constraints.

I didn't like Keaton's Bruce or Batman, I didn't get the vibe he can kick my ass.

That is because Burton can't film action but he sure is great with atmospherics and design, not Keaton's fault. He had a very intense Batman look in his eyes.

 

[CaptainClown]

I think it was a matter of preference. Burton is kind of hit and miss with me I can't quite explain it.

I do agree with that last part. But as Batman, he could give a badass look. The suit restraints as well as direction really limited action though. Especially the first film.

Yeah I agree, he is a bit of an acquired taste but some things he does really well, action is not one of them.
