We're going in circles then. Again, it was a different type of approach and storytelling. Going by your thinking Dracula story shouldve been called 'Harker' and Phantom of the Opera shouldve been called 'Christine' . Batman in Burton's movies int the main character of the story, we see him through the eyes of others and since hes suppose to be a dark and gothic character, we see him only occasionally and know very little about him. Thats not wrong. Its different. But since we're going in circles and you insist that despite Burton's movies being a Gothic tale its still wrong , then I dont see a point in continuing and repeating the same arguments. And by Gothic story I dont mean a dark story with Gothic designs. A Gothic story is actually a type of storytelling in literature which is based on mystery and unknown. That type of storytelling requires a mystical, dark shadow (see Dracula, Phantom) and Batman was that character. And those characters are never the main characters in the story despite being the title characters. Theyre almost like spooks. And since I like Batman as a dark mystical figure, I thoroughly enjoyed Burton's Gothic version of the character.
