It would have been nice to get a full Burton trilogy. The Tim Burton Batman movies are gothic marvels. They're stunning to look at and helped change the way we see Batman today. They ushered in a darker tone for the caped crusader, and also managed to certify a gothic aesthetic that also was featured prominently in the animated series. But we only got to see Burton's vision in two of these movies. The reasons why are a little complicated. Burton planned to make a third Batman movie, entitled Batman Continues. It would have been a direct sequel to Batman Returns, continuing the story with Catwoman and introducing a Riddler who was set to be played by Robin Williams, and not Jim Carrey. It even would have taken Billy Dee Williams's Harvey Dent and turned him into Two-Face. In a fun twist, Marlon Waynes was set to play Robin in Burton's vision.
