Makes sense. At the risk of summoning him by invoking him name, where he hell has Whul been since ARLISS (fuck the dollar signs)? *googles* Apparently doing... one-man shows? Oh god help my art form...
It's kind of strange to me, as I could easily see Burton's sympathy being with Batman too, with a bit of tweaking to Batman's character. The lonely weirdo dressing up in black to live out his fantasies, there's some rich potential for Burton sympathies there. That said, thank god he never made that movie. Bad enough we have DeVito's Penguin to contend with.
Which is funny to consider, as the 80's were the golden era of sequelitis, were they not? For a movie that was so utterly tailored around JACK JACK JACK, the fact that they wouldn't even leave the door open for his return strikes me as magnificently bone-headed.
