Tim Burton's Batman Returns was surprisingly dark and violent for the time. The Da Vinci of his time considering we haven't had a cheerful, nonviolent DC film since the Terminator began spouting ice puns, Burton's original script seems to be much different than the original 1992 product. Burton's original vision is much different than you might expect, reminiscent of his later works featuring Johnny Depp.

Originally uninterested in directing another Batman film, he jumped on the chance of trying again but with a greater scope of creative freedom. As you expect, it's all about Batman taking on the Penguin and his hired thief Catwoman. Naturally, Burton's "Batman 2" would have featured a vigilante Batman cult and Batman riding a horse. Makes sense, right? Of course he later did the Alice in Wonderland movies with ideas like that.
