I know that it was the producer with Batman in 1989. Not that anything was really wrong with that one. But I recall Burton claiming that there was a lot of studio interference with it. And why he overcompensated with Batman Returns by making it so dark which kept it from being a family film.
The same thing with the Superman films in the eighties. They fired Donner after he was nearly completely finished with doing two films at the same time. Then they bring in that clown Lester who tried turning things too slapsticky. It split the cast up as far as their loyalties creating issues with not only completing II, but the direction of III.
III was supposed to be a different film with Brainiac and Supergirl. The studio botched that one too. Then the next three have a long list of issued. Not to mention the one that Kevin Smith wrote, but was never made. The recent history isn't much better. The production and studio staffs keep mucking things up with micromanaging and so on
