It's a real crime that we didn't get to see another Tim Burton Batman movie. I think if that had happened, we might not have had Batman put on ice for 8 years. But it's interesting to me that parents freaked out about Batman Returns with Penguin coming up out of the water with blue or black looking goop dripping out of his nostrils and mouth. Really? Batman 1989 had Joker waltzing in, shooting Jack Palance's character multiple times, and gleefully I might add. Then in another scene, he happily incinerates a mobster and we get to see the burned corpse as well. They should have looked at the Death in the Family storyline where Jason gets brutally beaten with a crowbar and then after the warehouse explosion, Bruce is carrying his bloodied and beaten body out of the ashes. That's even more gruesome than black goop. So, what we got instead because of the parents were bat nipples, butt shots and high camp. Go figure. Anyway, an unfortunate misfire on WB's part letting Burton go.
