As we approach the 30th anniversary of Batman Returns, Tim Burton has shared some thoughts on what he disliked the most about Batman Forever. And, yes, it’s exactly what you think it is.
Speaking with Empire, Burton is reminiscing about the 30th anniversary of his second Batman movie. While the full interview is not out yet, a snippet has been shared that gives you some looks into why he stepped away from the series.
As he talks about Joel Schumacher’s two films, the topic of the nipples on the costumes comes up. “[Back then] they went the other way. That’s the funny thing about it,” said Burton. “But then I was like, ‘Wait a minute. Okay. Hold on a second here. You complain about me, I’m too weird, I’m too dark, and then you put nipples on the costume? Go f*** yourself.’ Seriously. So yeah, I think that’s why I didn’t end up [doing a third film]…”
We’re sure the full interview will share some additional information about his departure from the series, but for sure he was not a fan of the nipples.
