More about Tim Burton's first superhero film
Tim Burton's Batman was conceptualized during the 1970s and early 1980s, when the interest in the franchise was waning, particularly due to studio execs and writers clashing on the theme and tonality of the franchise. This clash resulted in the loss of Michael Uslan's attempts at a darker version of the caped crusader, with execs favoring a more campy, comedic approach to the franchise.
The script origins of Burton's film came from the script written by Tom Mankiewicz, which was derived from Batman: Strange Apparitions. Burton's involvement in the production process led to the return of a darker-capped crusader.
The resultant screenplay by Samm Hamm set a middle ground between Uslan's script and the earlier comedic versions of the caped crusader featured in the 1960s.
The 1989 Batman was ultimately a success on both the commercial and critical stage, with the film achieving record-breaking revenues, becoming the highest-grossing superhero film for over a decade with a total revenue of $411.35 million.
