While he’s still reviled by some segments of the geek community for his neon-soaked Batman films (which are good, actually,) one look at his filmography shows that he was a filmmaker of serious versatility, who worked in just about every genre with a number of big name stars – some of whom he helped break, such as Julia Roberts, Kiefer Sutherland, and Colin Farrell.
And even outside of his run as a filmmaker, he truly led a fascinating life. In an interview with Vulture published less than a year ago, he talked about his time in the New York fashion world, his troubled childhood, and his work as a costume designer before he became a director. This is someone who has seen and done pretty much anything, and never regretted a minute of it.
Rest In Peace.
