10 Things You Didn’t Know About Tim Burton’s Batman
3. Sly Stallone Wasnt Best Pleased At The Films Legacy
Sylvester Stallone is one of the few people that wasnt best pleased when this movie came out. The Rocky and Rambo star revealed later that he saw Tim Burtons Batman as the beginning of the end for the sort of muscular action heroes that hed been making a very good living embodying. "It was the beginning of a new era, Sly said, before elaborating in saying that the visuals took over. The special effects became more important than the single person. Although Stallone himself still gets steady work, he does have a point there. The ratio of comic book heroes to massively muscly bodybuilders on our screens has continued steadily down this trajectory away from weights, towards capes - in the years hence. I wish I had thought of Velcro muscles myself, he admitted, as well as lamenting that he didn't have to go to the gym all those years, all those hours wedded to the iron game, because he could have simply got special effects to buff him up instead. Once youve seen this quote, its hard to see Slys 1995 Judge Dredd film as anything other than his attempt to jump on this comic book bandwagon that he spotted.
