Superman is my favorite superhero and Nicolas Cage is my most disliked actor... what a nightmare.

Why is Tim Burton so popular? His movies are horrible.

As horrible as that costume is, it was apparently what he wears before he dons the classic suit later in the film. And you know what? I'd definitely pay to see this film. Burton's been boring as fuck this past decade, but in the 90s he made really really interesting films.
And honestly, with the way the new Superman reboot has been going all I'm expecting is something similar to the new Incredible Hulk film with Norton. A very boring mediocre film.
I'll take an interesting failure over boring mediocrity any day.

He has some turds but there is no one with the disturbed/cooky visual flare that Burton has. No one.

Because Ed Wood is freaking greatness, and one of the best films of the 90s easily.
Edward Scissorhands was neat, Batman 1 and 2 have a very unique visual aesthetic that will still hold up years from now (oh and it also had penguins with rocket launchers).
And Big Fish is awesome. Can't believe I forgot BeetleJuice. Yep...Burton's awesome. His past few films have been fairly derivative though, but eh. Whatever.

We need more Walken + Depp + Burton movies. Maybe Christopher Lee before he dies.

God damn. It hasn't happened yet. Hell, with the movies with either Walken/Depp or Depp/Lee. They were never face to face or they had such miniscule roles.

I like the cut of his gothic jib, even though it's gotten kinda worn-out over the years. Alice in Burtonland was a major disappointment, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was very, very eh (not even Depp and Christopher Lee could save it from mediocrity). Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd, Sleepy Hollow, Batman, Batman Returns, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Frankenweenie, Vincent, Mars Attacks and Big Fish are wonderful though. Even Corpse Bride wasn't too bad. Looking forward to his adaption of Addams Family. Should suit his style perfectly.

Wonder what the FX would've looked like.
James Woods said:
I loved special effects from the 90's. They were the epitome of what could be achieved from traditional effects. Everything afterward were aided more and more by computer until they were completely replaced by them.
So yeah, the FX would suck by today's standards.

That was JJ Abrahams draft. Kevin Smith's was terrible too. There is a serviceable one with Metallo in it called Superman: The Man of Steel.

Pretty sure he was heavily restricted by what he could do by Jon Peters.
Reading the development hell history of the last Superman movie, it almost seems like a miracle that it turned out the way it did. Boring and uninspired, sure, but the alternatives were fucking awful.

Burton has more clout than Kevin Smith. If Burton didn't get his way, his "vision", he could threaten to leave and the studio would likely side with him. Smith has no where near that kind of influence.

This is something I've been struggling to figure out for years myself. Sweeny Todd and Scissorhands are the only two films of his that I can sit through.
Batman was good but it's not really my particular favorite type of Batman. The only great things that come out of Burton films is Elfman's music.
Yeah I don't even understand what were they trying to go for there. Electricity runs through Superman's body? Is the power from the sun storing in his muscles or something? Fucking weird. This Superman wasn't supposed to have a cape either, right?
Well that and the cinematography of Sleepy Hollow is spectacular. Actually I'd consider that one my favorite Burton movie, the only one I personally really like.

Looking at the rest of that facebook page, I ain't gonna lie: I kinda wish this would have been made. Even if for being the trainwreck it might have ended up as, I kinda want to see this. Maybe if it wasn't Superman. :lol

I worded that wrong. Why is he still popular? He hasn't made a good film in a very long time. His bad outweigh the good.Discotheque said:
Most of his new movies all have the same visual style; the characters all seem hollow and just a piece of the over designed set.
I won't say he is a shitty director because Big Fish(among others you listed) refutes that claim. Although, he has become more mediocre over these last fifteen years.
It just seems that his movies always get prised even though they are not that good. It's like people can't admit that he has lost the ability that peeked at Ed Wood.

This could've been a fun superman movie. You all act like this would've been the Batman and Robin of Superman movies. They already did that it was called Superman IV

Just because Burton was a producer, that does not make this a Tim Burton movie.
The same thing goes for Nightmare Before Christmas.
