Hey guys, I found another rare 89 interview with Tim Burton discussing  Batman & The Joker.  I hope you all enjoy.


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.
