When we think of director Tim Burton, we may think about weirder, darker movies. Burton did not direct the latest Batman films, The Dark Knight, or The Dark Knight Rises, but both are considerably darker versions of Batman. On this day, June 23rd, 1989, Tim Burton's rendition of Batman, staring Jack Nicholson and Michael Keaton, released. Many critics criticized Burton's focus more on the Joker than Batman. Some comic book fans did not like the inconsistency with the movie and the original comics. Through some criticism, Tim Burton's Batman received 70% "freshness" on Rotten Tomatoes. With a budget of $48 million, it charted the box office at $411,348, 924. It also won and Academy Award for Best Art Direction. Success of this movie allowed Warner Brothers to produce an animated Batman series.
