If there is one superhero that’s closer to Tim Burton’s heart then Batman, it would be his own creation called Stainboy. The aptly watercolored character made his debut in The World of Stainboy, a series of flash animation shorts created in 2000. Since then Stainboy has popped up in various Burton works including The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy book, but now he makes his triumphant return in the storytelling form of the next generation: Twitter. According to the site Burton Story you get to join Tim Burton in a story-making adventure by contributing a line of your own based on this last visible Tweet:
