Burton Earny was a photojournalist from Gotham City.
History[]
Aboard a cruise ship which departed from Gotham City, Burton Earny saw a lonely woman aboard the cruise after leaving a party at the ballroom. Deciding to flirt with her, Earny took off his blue plastic crown and adjusted his hair before talking to the woman. After asking her if the landscape seemed beautiful, she answered yes. Noticing her somewhat sad tone, Earny asked the woman if she felt lonely, to which she replied that in fact, she was alone.[1]
Background information[]
- Burton Earny's subplot was cut from the film, and he only appears briefly at the end. In the novelization, after taking a picture that exonerated Batman, he was paid handsomely and celebrated by taking a cruise, where he met a lonely Andrea Beaumont.
- His name appears to be a reference to Bert and Ernie, two characters from the popular children's television show Sesame Street.
