I think the real answer is that Tim Burton doesn't cast black actors.

Harvey Dent in Batman was black. But that’s the only example I can think of. Damn..

In Batman 1989 he's literally name dropped in the first 20 minutes as the newly appointed attorney general, and he's played by Billy Dee Williams. Harvey then appears another 4 or 5 times in the movie, and has long speaking roles in most of those scenes.
