The World of Stainboy (2005) is a flash animation series created by director Tim Burton and animated by Flinch Studio. Stainboy, the main character, initially appeared in two short poems from Tim Burton’s book The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories. This series marks Burton’s return to the superhero genre since Batman Returns. Stainboy is employed by Burbank police, and in each episode he receives instructions to locate and apprehend social outcasts, many of whom are from the Oyster Boy book. Each of the six episodes has a runtime of less than five minutes.
In the last installment, Stainboy revisited his past at an orphanage, hinting at a potential ongoing narrative. However, despite its promise, no subsequent episodes were made. In November 2010, Burton introduced a fresh tale featuring Stainboy on the Twitter handle ‘BurtonStory’. Viewers were invited to participate in the story through Twitter, with the most outstanding continuation Tweets being shared by BurtonStory. The project concluded on December 6.
