<p>&#8216;Batman&#8217; director Tim Burton unloaded on several of the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/critics-are-wrong-go-see-batman-v-superman-its-ben-shapiro/">films</a> made after he was forced out of the franchise, taking particular aim at the later iterations of the Batsuit that included oversized nipples.</p>
<p>Burton spoke with <a href="https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/tim-burton-on-batman-forever-nipple-suit-go-f-yourself/">Empire</a> about the newest film — Matt Reeves&#8217; &#8220;The Batman&#8221; — which is expected to plumb depths of darkness that have not yet been seen in any of the Batman movies. He noted the irony that the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/internet-implodes-amid-reports-new-batman-james-barrett/">Caped Crusader</a> was returning to much darker themes after his own attempts to take the franchise in that direction had resulted in him being ousted altogether.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is funny to see this now, because all these memories come back of, &#8216;It’s too dark,'&#8221; Burton reflected on complaints about his second outing with the Dark Knight, &#8220;Batman Returns.&#8221; &#8220;So, it makes me laugh a little bit,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;[Back then] they went the other way,&#8221; Burton said of the third and fourth films. &#8220;Batman Forever&#8221; and &#8220;Batman &amp; Robin,&#8221; both directed by <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/9-box-office-duds-that-became-cult-classics/">Joel Schumacher</a>, veered more toward cartoonish, campy, and over the top. &#8220;That’s the funny thing about it. But then I was like, &#8216;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**k yourself.&#8217; Seriously. So yeah, I think that’s why I didn’t end up [doing a third film] …&#8221; Burton added.</p>
<p>Burton was far from the only critic of the pronounced nipples on the Batsuit, however. Lead sculptor Jose Fernandez, who created the oft-ridiculed suit, <a href="https://variety.com/2022/film/news/tim-burton-slams-batman-nipples-1235286780/?cx_testId=48&amp;cx_testVariant=cx_undefined&amp;cx_artPos=0#cxrecs_s">explained</a> that he had taken the idea from Roman armor — but that the costume had quickly taken on a life of its own.</p>
<p>&#8220;It wasn’t fetish to me, it was more informed by Roman armor — like Centurions. And, in the comic books, the characters always looked like they were naked with spray paint on them — it was all about anatomy, and I like to push anatomy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I don’t know exactly where my head was at back in the day, but that’s what I remember. And so, I added the nipples. I had no idea there was going to end up being all this buzz about it.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Fernandez, Schumacher actually liked the addition — and asked that it be highlighted more in &#8220;Batman &amp; Robin.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He’s the boss, so we sharpened them, circled them and it all became kind of ridiculous,&#8221; Fernandez added. &#8220;I didn’t really care or think much about it. Whenever I had a chance, I’d explain where the concept came from — from Roman armor — but after a while, it got its own life and I just let it be. I couldn’t think of it much more after that.&#8221;</p>
