De-constructing Tim Burton Part 2 of 3
1. 1. He has a distinctive style: While his style can get exhausting, you can usually point out his movies from the get go. They’ll always exciting visually.
2. Danny Elfman: Time and time again, Mr. Elfman proves that his music is multilayered and dark at the same time. He score to Batman (89) is still on of the best superhero movie scores out there. Steven Spielberg has John Williams, and Tim Burton has Danny Elfman.
3. He does dark comedy fairly well: I think Beetle Juice and Pee Wee’s Big Adventure are his funniest movies to date. I’d like to see put a bit more humor into his movie, but Mars Attack was a bit too much. He needs a balance.
Despite some missteps, he’s been able to make the movies he’s desired to make: I don’t agree with his choices sometimes, but I’ll give praise in this area.

The second movie is such a departure that I really can't say they share the same universe.
