Tim Burton: One trick Pony?

Tim Burton, The man behind Batman (1989), Batman Returns (1992), Edward Scissorhands (1990), Beetlejuice (1988) and many other movies. He is famous for his dark and quirky movies, overusing Johnny Depp and Helena Boham Carter, having Danny Elfman score the music for his films. That guy...

He's become the Michael Bay of People who practically live on Hot Topic and are not looking for Twilight or the 80s cartoon /game shirts. You know the ones I'm talking about...
The goths, the wannabe Goths and the emo kids who think they are cool because they have a Jack Skellington shirt. Looks like Tim has found his comfort zone and refuses to get out of there... and he's got his target audience so he's not gonna grow out of that niche anymore. To be honest he's become predictable. Can't wait for his Wizard of Oz I can almost see his cast: Helena Boham Carter as the Wicked Witch of the West, Deep Roy as The Wizard, Johhny Depp as the Scarecrow, Danny DeVito as Toto, Michael Keaton as the Cowardly Lion, as Dorothy Miley Cyrus or something along those lines... Before you complain about Miley, She WAS on a Tim Burton Flick (This was before she was known as Miley/Hannah...)

I miss the Pre-Mars Attacks Tim Burton. He had more guts and wasn't afraid to try something different. Now he's stuck in making goth/emo kid versions of children's books. He should try banning Helena Boham Carter/Johhny Depp from his movies.
If you'll excuse me I'm gonna raid hot topic... hopefully they've some NECA TMNT figs on clearance...
