I find the two Burton flicks way more rewatchable than the Nolan films. Hell, I'd put them above most modern superhero flicks. They have style and grit. I can't think of any modern Marvel or DC movie that has either. They embrace the sillier comic booky elements instead of shunning them. I also really like the soundtrack even though it's easy to joke on (I guess?). Certainly more interesting than the bland music in the modern flicks."When I die, I hope to go to Accra"

Burton produced BATMAN FOREVER and I feel like that one ports over some of the tone and look of the first two movies he directed, but with a big dash of the 60's TV show. I never understood why Tommy Lee Jones chose to play Two-Face as though he was The Joker. That character was never portrayed that way in the comics or cartoons - I would guess that nobody involved in the production ever bothered to look at the comics for reference in that one.
BATMAN AND ROBIN comes off like a filmed amusement park attraction, and that is not at all meant as praise.Now everyone can have a complete KRULL lifestyle.

Batman Returns still holds up wonderfully. Burton really struck a great balance in that one. It's got a legitimately ominous tone thanks to the fucking sublime gothic design. It feels properly dark and brooding, but at the same time he knew being a superhero movie it had to still have mass appeal yet it doesn't feel like a compromised film. DeVito's Penguin make-up is actually pretty gross looking. Michelle Pfeiffer owns the whole movie, though.
