8. Legcay
Tim Burton’s greatest
legacy will, in my opinion,
be “Batman”. The first
major film based on the
comic book hero was a
dark and brutal take on a
popular hero with a never
ending fan base. “Batman”
is still revered years after
its release, and is loved by
new and old fans of the
Dark Knight.
