Actor Michael Keaton in a recent interview with GQ shared how he believes Tim Burton's "Batman" (1989), in which he was cast as the titular character, had a major role in the subsequent success of the Marvel and DC universes.
“Tim deserves enormous credit. He changed everything,” the "Beetlejuice" actor said, speaking about Burton's choice to cast him as the superhero, a decision that was met with considerable backlash. “I can’t necessarily say this, but there’s a strong possibility there is no Marvel Universe, there is no DC Universe, without Tim Burton. He was doubted and questioned.
