Tim Burton talks about how Batman movie tones have changed over time since 1989. '... I go back to a time capsule, where pretty much every day the studios were saying, 'It’s too dark, it’s too dark.' Now it looks like a lighthearted romp.'
Batman 1989 director Tim Burton has reflected on the fact that the new films featuring the caped crusader have gotten much darker and grittier. Burton, who was then fresh off his success with the 1988 horror-comedy Beetlejuice, re-teamed with that film's title star Michael Keaton for a fresh take on the iconic DC Comics hero.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY At the time, the 1989 Batman was a surprisingly dark turn for the character, who was best known to most audiences as the campy hero played by Adam West in the late 1960s.
The thing that is funny about it now is, people go "What do you think of the new Batman?" and I start laughing and crying because I go back to a time capsule, where pretty much every day the studios were saying, "It’s too dark, it’s too dark." Now it looks like a lighthearted romp. Why Batman Movies Became Darker Over Time It is true that the modern live-action Batman films have gotten progressively darker and darker in tone. There are likely several reasons for this.
The increasingly dark Batman films also highlight the way that DC Films has been trying to differentiate themselves from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Those films are more realistic than older Marvel comic book films, but they still feature a buoyant and sardonic sense of humor throughout.
