: Then Burton says he doesn't read comics, which is a lie…
Who says? He didn't say he's never read a comic book.
I think fanboys put way too much credence to this assumption, which seems based on little-to-no evidence to me.
: … and that he'd never read anything by Kevin Smith, which is also, more likely than not, a lie.
Again, that's not what he said. He said he WOULDN'T read something by Kevin.
: And Kevin's like "...which explains BATMAN." and it was pretty funny. He's not worrying about it anymore. Others are pulling this all out of him. And he's a sport, I guess.
Yeah, I think it was a pretty light, seemingly off-the-cuff, little joke. No big deal.
