Michael Keaton as Batman and Batman the animated series
One of the most lasting legacies of Tim Burton’s Batman movies was Batman: The Animated Series, which was shaped by Burton’s vision in several key ways. Tim Burton’s Batman and Batman Returns presented a gothic, noir-inspired interpretation of DC’s Dark Knight. Later, Batman: TAS triumphantly debuted on Saturday mornings and was heavily influenced by Burton’s Batman films.
7 Burton's Movies Proved A Darker Tone Worked Batman: TAS's Pilot Was Met With Concern Close Before Tim Burton’s Batman, most adaptations of superheroes leaned towards lighthearted or campy. Shows like the 1966 Batman series portrayed the character in a fun, exaggerated manner, aimed primarily at children. Instead, Burton’s films took a risk, embracing a much darker tone. Michael Keaton’s portrayal of Batman was intense, somber, and haunted by tragedy.
Batman Returns was inspired by several horror movies, including the German Expressionist classic Metropolis for its Gotham City. Batman: TAS likewise drew from Metropolis to create a city that was both grimy and beautiful, filled with shadowy skyscrapers, looming bridges, and the constant glow of blimps hovering in the sky.
4 Danny Elfman's Batman Score Batman: TAS Used A Variation Of Elfman's Score Close A key component of Burton’s Batman films was the unforgettable musical score by Danny Elfman. His bombastic and haunting orchestral theme became synonymous with Batman, perfectly capturing the dark, brooding, and heroic nature of the character. It’s no surprise, then, that when Batman: The Animated Series was in development, Elfman’s music served as a major inspiration.
