Personally, I never enjoyed Burton's Bat-flicks. The first film is decent, but even when it came out I remember asking my father why Batman was mowing people down with machine guns. The second film remains unwatchable to me. At least I can laugh at Batman and Robin. I can't say the same for Returns.
Nolan's film on the other hand hit every nail squarely on the head for me. Not just in terms of the characterization, but as a cinematic experience. It's a great movie as far as I'm concerned, and I pray Superman Returns is on its level.
I have to agree though with those citing the animated series. It's so ingrained in me, Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamil are the voices I hear when I read dialogue between Batman and Joker. Mask of the Phantasm is the definitive Batman picture for me. Shirley Walker's theme from that movie also tops any other theme I've heard for the Caped Crusader.
How ya doing, buddy?
