I would be most curious to see that take, so long as it's just an alternate take on the character. Personally, I love that Gordon is the only sane one of the bunch, or at least the sanest. He strikes me as very much a guy out of time from the old west, like Gary Cooper in HIGH NOON. The model of strength and civility in a wild, lawless frontier.
Good call on Burton. Honestly, I wish he would go back to doing wholly original visions rather than messing with adaptations. I didn't realize I could be violently apathetic, but damn if everything involving Burton's ALICE IN WONDERLAND hasn't blazed that new trail for me.
