Worse use of a thesaurus ever.

You mean worst. Right? Did you know that 'lugubre' is an articulation notated in, that is written in often at the beginning of, musical scores?
Oh, I knew someone would say Walken. Window dressing, which is why many were distracted with it.

I'm sure that's what Burton thought. "Yeah, I'll cast Walken in this to distract people from this turd" ::)

That's a very curious interpretation.
Level42:
Do I dare to admit here that I have not ever seen one Batman movie ?
Ever !

It's kind of silly to look back and diss Burton's Batman, without considering the impact it had THEN for that time period, the technology of the time and the crap that was 80's movies. When it was known someone was making a movie about BATMAN, everyone had in mind "kids' movie", "cheesy tv show", "goofy looking heroes with no super powers", etc. Public opinion was stacked against him. The movie ended up blowing everybody's expectations away.
Today, sure... it's easy to see its flaws, but most old movies look flawed in some way.
