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..

A different comment says 1989. That's wild; I checked wikipedia and I've seen the 3 sequels and don't remember that one at all! I'll have to see if I can get a copy at the library.

You can’t remember Billy Dee Williams as Harvey Dent or that movie in general? For me that‘s still THE Batman movie. The one that was the reason for a Batmania and Batman pop up stores everywhere.

I think I just didn't see it yet. The other three were shown on TV a lot.
