Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman movie might have set the stage for today’s superhero-dominated box office, but the director isn’t too pleased with the world that he had a hand in creating.
Talking to Yahoo! Movies, Burton said that “Marvel, they have their thing and there’s a certain formula to it all which seems to still be working, but how many times can you say ‘you’re wearing a funny costume’ with the tights and stuff? That’s been going on for 20 years now. Yes, we all know that superheroes are damaged individuals. Maybe we need to see a happy superhero?”
