Tim Burton's Batman was taken away from McDonald's
Warner Bros. Film Studio turned down the services of Tim Burton and offered the post of director of the movie "Batman Forever" to Joel Schumacher under pressure from McDonald's. This curious version was voiced by Burton himself at a press conference. "I think I upset them. What is this black substance that flows from the mouth of the Penguin? How can we sell Happy Meals sets with such toys? It was a strange reaction to the movie" Batman Returns ". Many believed that he darker than the first part, and many thought it was the other way around. Probably the studio thought my approach was too weird. They wanted something more family-friendly and child-centered. In other words, they just didn't want me to shoot the next movie, "said the director . Recall that the movie "Batman Returns" was released in 1992. The role of Penguin was played by Denny DeVito. The project had a production budget of $ 80 million and a worldwide box office exceeding $ 266 million. Joel Schumacher's sequel that followed in 1995, despite the box office success (the movie earned more than $ 300 million worldwide), was heavily criticized. The movie stars Val Kilmer, Tommy Lee Jones, Jim Carrey, Nicole Kidman, Chris O'Donnell, Michael Gough, Pat Hingle, Drew Barrymore and others.
