Thanks for the video.

I've always wondered where the Burton on Burton book got those quotes of his explaining why he hired Keaton in the role instead of using a He-Man type actor like Stallone or Schwarzenegger. I don't think such inspiring casting has been repeated ever since.

I love the bit of where Burton said he tried to avoid using too much exposition as possible.
QuoteJonathan Nolan: He [Batman] has this one rule, as the Joker says in The Dark Knight. But he does wind up breaking it. Does he break it in the third film?

Christopher Nolan: He breaks it in...

Jonathan Nolan: ...the first two.

This was fantastic I've never seen it before thanks for posting.


I have given a name to my pain, and it is BATMAN.

Excellent find! Burton got it, he just got the character and his motivations.
