BATMAN RETURNS Was Originally Intended To Be Way Less Dark

Videos Movie Batman Returns Tim Burton Dark about 6 years agoby Mick Joest

Batman Returns ended up being way darker than Batman films of the past, and while that ultimately became the vision, it was not the original plan. The second film in Tim Burton's franchise was originally supposed to have a marriage proposal, Batman riding a horse, and Penguin hiring Catwoman to steal some antique ravens from Wayne Manor. In short, it sounded like trash. This video breaks down how that vision slowly faded away (largely thanks to Tim Burton) and the director got to make the Batman film he wanted to do from the beginning.
