Quote: Originally Posted by LordSimen Batman paved the way for Singer. Superman paved the way for Batman and Singer. In fact, before Singer there was Stephen Norrington's Blade just a year or two before it. And it was a superhero movie based on a comic that took it's material seriously and made a lot of doe, and was popular enough to garnish 2 sequels. Blade was nowhere near as critically or financially successful as X-Men. Singer was the one who reinvented the comic book movie. In no way shape or form was Burton responsible for Raimi's Spider-Man, Nolan's Batman, or Del Toro's Hellboy. Singer had to overcome the titanic critical and financial failures of the last two Batman movies, and had the major task of taking unknown actors and source material (unknown to those outside of the comic book world) and creating a world anyone could enjoy. After Singer's massive success, we had 2 more X-Men, 3 Spider-Man movies, and a reinvention of the Batman franchise all within 5 years. (That's not even adding the little known comic source material that was able to be launched, i.e. V for Vendetta and 300). If Burton's 2 Batman movie's were so influential, how come there was no major outburst of comic book movies like there was with Singer? You can like or dislike Burton's Batman movies, but his take on a comic book movie did not pave the way for Singer to make his exceptional X-Men movie.
