9. Robert Rodriguez
Have you seen Sin City? In that movie, Robert Rodriguez managed to perfectly capture Frank Miller's hyper-stylized graphic novel series onscreen. People thought it was impossible, but he did it. Was it realistic? No, but what is freaking cool? Hell yeah. Before writing Sin City, however, Frank Miller's main claim to fame was Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns, two of the greatest graphic novels ever written. Of course, this was before Frank Miller lost his mind and wrote some of the worst graphic novels ever, but we'll forget Dark Knight Strikes Again and All Star Batman and Robin ever existed. Rodriguez's skills lie in putting crazy visuals on screen, and making it all work somehow. Is it realistic? No, but it is awesome. It would be a nice mix between Burton's fantastic Gotham and Nolan's gritty city. After all, that's what Rodriguez did with Miller's Sin City, and that went over wonderfully.
