In Reply to: My thoughts on this Burton thing... posted by Piscez on August 08, 2001 at 12:43:45:
: Burton didn't write the script. Burton didn't design every single element of the movie. They got art guys and stuff. What if, Joe Shmoe the art designer ripped off the comic? Or the writer? And being not that many people have read J&SB#3, no one noticed it was ripped off.
Art guys work directly from the script...so yeah the writer could be complicit, but art guys don't write endings to films, studios, directors and, to a lesser extent, writers do.
