In the 1989 movie "Batman", who designed the balloons? They seem like something Tim Burton would have designed, and look a lot like his designs and drawings, but I couldn't find a confirmation of this anywhere.

It's circumstantial but I've been able to find these concept storyboards from the 1989 film. They were disposed of as part of a "Tim Burton Memorabilia auction". You can see the crude lines of the balloons as well as the fact that several are different from their final film incarnations.

Based on the initials on the boards, I would say that it's highly likely that the design of the balloons was a collaborative effort between TB (Tim Burton) and MW (Michael White)

  • @randal'thor - My goal was to hit 10K by New Year and 15K within the following quarter. I'm still on-track. Honestly though, I've just not seen that many interesting question in the last few weeks that I wanted to devote large amounts of time to.
