I'm not saying he's a bad director, I love Ed Wood and Sleepy Hollow, but Burton just isn't well suited to X-Men drama nor modern action/adventure movies. There's some aspects of it that he'd be good at (atmosphere, establishing mood/tone) but I don't think he could get the big dramatic scenes right. This is silly stuff, and in that sense Burton seems like a good fit on the surface, but these movies are silly ones that take themselves seriously for the sake of immersion and drama and danger, and I don't think that Tim Burton would nail that
This.

A director with a proven track record of making a dark, mature yet entertaining comic book movie that doesn't solely appeal to children. Whats not to like about this potential selection for the next X-film.

Proven track record? He made Batman when no good comic book movies were out. And Batman Returns went sideways and is still talked about for some of the weird choices he made to the characters. Then you have the behind-the-scenes stuff for Superman Lives. You have Vegeta crying about Spider-man not punching, I wonder what he'd say about Nick Cage not having most of his powers and the electric suit.
You guys are talking about a movie he made almost 30 years ago. He just made an "X-men" movie and it was forgotten. I didn't even know
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
came out.

Even Tim Burton at his peak probably isn't the right director for X-Men. And Burton has made some of my all-time favorite films. He is certainly not right now. I feel he has lost his spark and now just has a very formulaic style.
