![Tim Burton on the similarities between Abraham Lincoln & Batman: "I first heard the idea of even before Seth Grahame-Smith had written the book. It was just when he was thinking about writing the book, I heard the title "Abraham Lincoln vampire Hunter". It just all of a sudden took me [my mind] back to kind of the era of films that I grew up in; like the 60s & early 70s where it was like a weird mashup of movie. I remember things like "Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde" (1971) and you know you get these weird kind of mixups of horror films and it just sounded to me like the kind of a movie that I wanted to see. It just reminded me of movie of that era and it had that kind of crazy energy to it and weird juxtapositions of things. So I knew even before reading he book that it was a great idea. It basically takes the the story of Lincoln which Seth really kind of went through the history of the life of Lincoln and linked it up to sort of vampire mythology. The idea that his mother was ki!!ed by a vampire and how that shaped the rest of his life. And again the interesting thing about it is that it's not as farfetched as it sounds. I mean the events and the idea of him becoming a vampire hunter and like all the deaths that he had in his family and people close to him, it makes a lot of sense and it's actually more believable than the premise makes it. So that's what was interesting because we never wanted to make fun of anything. We wanted to treat it seriously like a human story and a real story. We talked about the idea and the fact is that it very much sort of Mirrors the kind of the classic comic book superhero mythology. In some cases he's not dissimilar from Batman in the sense that he's got a dual life; he's got a day job as President and a night job as a vampire Hunter; The kind of duality of those characters and that's is something that was important - to keep the human quality of him but then kind of explore the mythological or sort of superhero nature of how we perceive Lincoln and mix those two together and that's what we have in the movie."
