^^ Just saw Burton's original again tonight, had this same conversation with my erstwhile dad.. 'I can't stomach the new Batman movies, this is much more accessible'
I totally agree, Burton's kept the comic-book feel, Schumacher's were campy fluff and the Nolan films take themselves far too seriously for my disposition atm. There's nothing remotely tongue-in-cheek about the re-boot films, they're gunning for awards and critical plaudits. Still good fun to watch but for god's sake how long is Dark Knight? Two and a half hours?
I think the anti-Nolan film line is especially appealing with the constant praise TDK's been getting, it's like a reflex to want to hate it. I was honestly not overawed with the film in the cinema, for many reasons that I won't go into again lol
