because he is awesome.

i love this man for his work on hellboy alone.  he creates such great worlds, imo.

HIs IMDB further cements my point about him mostly making "popcorn flicks." He didnt create Hellboy, though he did play a part in writing both movies stories and screenplays. The world of Hellboy was created by several other people in the 10 years prior to the film.

christopher nolan didn't create batman but he did create the best onscreen representation of batman that has ever been created.  if you want to downplay guillermo just because he wasn't the exclusive creator hellboy or because he has made movies like pacific rim in addition to some of the best horror films ever that is your loss.   guillermo is very talented and i'm excited for any project he is involved in.

no he didnt, the nolan batmans are just lame and the cast is totaly misscasted.

burton did so much better in every possible way, the girls are more sexy, batman is more badass and it has a so much better joker, jack Nicholson was just brillian.    

I actually agree.  Nolan's Batmen are overrated especially the roles of Christian Bale and Heath Ledger (let's be honest he got WAAAAAAY too much recognition due to his death).  TDK is great but it doesn't do nearly the justice to the property that Burton or the Arkham games have.  Sure it's a fun crime drama but the action scenes in Batman Begins are HORRIBLY filmed (extreme closeups and I don't know what the hell is going on then all the badguys are on the ground) and Rises has too many plotholes to mention.  Also how the hell did Joker know exactly how long it would take him to get captured, get interrogated, get the cop to beat him up, and for Batman to figure out when he was going?  Way too much suspension of disbelief for a movie that claims to be the "realistic" take on superheroes.  Also both Batman vs. Bane fights were just I punch you in the head you punch me instead of any cool moves or fighting style which was just boring and stupid.  Now I kinda enjoy them but I enjoy watching the Arkham cutscenes way more.
