Michael Keaton and the lack of recognition for Tim Burton in superhero movies
Speaking about his superhero legacy, Keaton added that much more credit for the success of Marvel and DC films should go to Tim Burton, who directed him in both Batman and Beetlejuice, both Warner Bros. projects.
“Tim deserves a huge recognition. He changed everything.”“I can’t necessarily say, but there’s a very good chance that there wouldn’t be a Marvel Universe or a DC Universe without Tim Burton. He was doubted and questioned.”
Keaton added: “He hasn’t been given enough credit for saying, ‘Yeah, that guy. ’ And everyone was like, ‘Wait, Michael? You worked with him on ‘Beetlejuice,’ right? ’ But I think what happened was Tim saw ‘Clean and Sober. ’ I’ll take credit for that. I don’t know if he was given enough credit for making that move. It was a bold move.”
Aside from Batgirl, Keaton had a chance to don the cape and cowl on screen, perhaps for the last time, in The Flash 2023.
