Dark Night for Batman Director's Ex

Tim Burton has finally knocked the wind out of his ex-fiancee.

We've learned the California Court of Appeal has just put the kibosh on Lisa Marie's palimony lawsuit. She sued the famed director, alleging that he strong-armed her into accepting more than $5.5 million to walk away from the relationship.

In true Britney style, Lisa Marie (not Presley) said, "Gimme More." She sued Burton, who directed "Batman" and "Edward Scissorhands," but today the court said the case should be dismissed. It had been scheduled to go to trial next week.
