Andrew Tarusov has imagined what superheroes would look like if they were illustrated by Tim Burton. They are pretty cool and you can totally see them as an animated Tim Burton superhero cartoon. I would love to see Tim Burton do these as a TV series. That would be awesome. Probably never happen, sadly.
Can you imagine if Tim Burton had been in charge of Game of Thrones? It would be a completely different series that’s for sure. We have an idea what the Tim Burton GoT characters might have looked like thanks to Canadian illustrator Xenia Rassolova, who has created this series. It shows our favorite characters in the dark, signature style of Tim Burton. You can check out the entire series on her Behance page.

Here is a project that I would have loved to see come alive. Sadly, I don’t think it will happen anytime soon. With the success of Batman ’66, Joe Quinones and Kate Leth wanted to revisit another famous era from Batman’s past. The Tim Burton era. Hence the name Batman ’89. DC Comics foolishly passed on this miniseries pitch. It’s really too bad that we never got to see this, because it sounds great.
Quinones shared some details and proof-of-concept art from the proposal and it looks awesome.
“Our story would have picked up the threads left by Tim Burton’s Batman Returns,” Quinones explains on his blog. “We would have seen the return of Selina Kyle/ Catwoman as well as introductions to ‘Burton-verse’ versions of Robin, Barbara Gordon/Batgirl, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. It also would have showcased the turn of Billy Dee Williams’ Harvey Dent into Two-Face.”

Here’s some Superman Lives concept art and some designs of Brainiac, who was supposed to be the villain of the film. This film would have been directed by Tim Burton and would have starred Nicholas Cage as the Man of Steel. However the whole thing was a complete mess and we never got that movie. Some are thankful, while others are sad. As weird as this film looks, I am intrigued. I would have liked to see what Burton could do with the Man of Steel, even if the weirdness seems cranked up in typical Burton style.
The art is from propstore.com who recently auctioned off some Superman Lives items. They were taking some bold chances with Superman, I’ll give them that.

Tim Burton gave us such classics as Edward Scissorhands, the 1989 Batman movie, Beetlejuice and many more, but have you ever wondered what he could have done with The Avengers? These sketches from artist Xenia Rassolova give us a pretty good idea. They all look spot on if you ask me. That’s totally Tim Burton style.
As much as I like some of Burton’s classic movies, I’m glad he didn’t touch The Avengers. This is still a cool concept though. It’s always nice to see a new take on familiar characters that we know.
This iPhone 6 Batmobile case is an amazing replica of the Batmobile from Tim Burton’s Batman films! It looks more like an expensive toy than a phone case. It will cost you $50 and comes with LED lighting, a Batman logo projector, a utility belt replica over the home button, and pop-out front wheels so you can access the phone’s camera lens. Where does he get those wonderful toys?

Now here is something that I would have loved to see in the 1989 movie Batman Returns. At some point, the director made a slight change to the script that resulted in this awesome Batman store being cut from the film.
According to 1989 Batman, the original draft of the script had a Batman store in downtown Gotham selling all kinds of Dark Knight goodies. The set designers had already built the store and had it fully stocked before it got the axe. At least we have pictures.
