WI No Tim Burton?

The george lucas thread inspired me to make this thread. What if Tim Burton was either never born or never went into films? One person it would affect is Pee Wee Herman. Without Burton we probably wouldnt get Pee Wee's Big Adventure, meaning no pee wee's playhouse. Pee Wee would probably continue doing his adult parody of kiddie shows on stage, and his arrest (if it still happened) would go unnoticed (he might even incorporate it into his act).
 
Besides Pee Wee's life I do not see much changing.

First of all Tim Burton is nowhere near as important as George Lucas regarding the development of culture. Without George Lucas Tim Burton would not get his mainstream break with Batman since most studios would not regard comics as marketable.

Sure Tim Burton has allowed for goth, dark, and all those folkloric subcultures to somehow get some mainstream attention. But he did not do it alone.

Neither did George Lucas on geek culture but Star Wars is a much more prominent landmark than anything Burton has done.
 
Dark Knight and Batman Begins would probably not have been released, nor would Wachmen or V fo Vendeta I don't think either. Oher than that, not many huge buerflies, excet for maybe Johnny Depp is in less movies. People wouldn't tlak about plan 9 so much, idk. I personally would dislike a universe without Tim Burton but idk if the univverse would really change over it
 
Christopher Marlowe is on the right track--Burton's Batman is the reason super-hero movies became dramatically interesting and adult oriented.

With no Burton it's possible we go from the Superman franchise right through to the Transformers franchise, with no diversions in that sub-genre, because nobody would try to adapt comics/cartoons for the post-adolescent audiences that were going to see the movies of Ridley Scott and James Cameron.

Then the vision of the likes of Emmerich and Bay would dominate our screens.:mad::mad::mad::eek::mad::mad::mad:
