    Im gonna say that this is why Batman Forever is my favorite Batman movie. There is this scene where the badguys rip a bank vault out of the wall, and by the end of the scene batman uses an explosive to have fly back into place. My point is, Batman needs to take place in a pulpy hyper reality, or he goes from a Doc Savage in a cool costume to a mentally insane Billionaire karate chopping poor people because as punishment.

    Also, in that movie, they took pains to portray him as a “Good” ceo.

    I just think this is an issue of tone and presentation.

      Absolutely this. Ever since Nolan, we’ve been getting grimmer, darker, more “realistic” reboots of the character as directors try to figure out what Batman would look like in the real world. Burton and Schumacher asked the much funner question of, “What kind of crazy nonsense world worships a vigilante in a furry suit?”

      that is why i love the gothic tone of Tim Burton, it is a Hallucinogenic reality with grotesque characters
