While I certainly won't knock Burton, as his Batman movies were enjoyable... there are certainly many faults in Batman Returns that can be attributed to the elevated free reign he was given after the success of the first. They're too Burtonian and stray away from the flavor of Batman a little too much. A throng of penguins with missile launchers strapped to their backs? The Penguin gargling black blood at the end and being dragged into his subterranean grave by said penguins with their flippers while Gregorian chanting goes on in the background? Might as well affix enormous scissors to Batman's hands while you're at it.
What about Nolan's Batman renditions did you find lacking?
