That's the worst fucking idea ever. I'm sorry. JTHM belongs to Jhonen Vasquez and he only, and he has clearly expressed that he never wants to continue the series, let alone make a film out of it. I would be appalled if it was translated to a movie, actually. It's fine how it is.

Burton is the only real film maker that touches disturbing imagery without going full on slasher film.

Toy Killer is right about Burton having a style of his own. The uninformed (read: ignorant) person is quick to associate Burton with any remotely dark film, but he his method separates him from any artist or director. Fuck,
everyone has their own style, except people who trace anime drawings.
Tim Burton is able to create a macabre setting without being outright gory and stupid, which is a lot to ask for these days. The movies he creates are beautiful. If he chooses to focus a little more on style than plot, I'm not going to damn him for being an artist.

He didn't direct it, but he played an intrical role in the creative design of... basically everything seen on screen. So it's not like it wasn't his or anything.
Although you can definitely see that Henry Selick had his influence, too, for example in the movie Monkeybone (which would have been a good movie if they'd have dropped all the f'ing perverted humor).
