I think the problem with Schumacher's Batman is that it's not just campy, it's campy AND the audience isn't being let in that they are in on the joke. So it feels insulting. But I totally understand his take too, it just wasn't executed well. In the 1966 Batman, we see Batman doing ridiculous things, for example, this scenario: But we laugh, and it's campy, and it's fun because we're IN on the joke. In Batman and Robin, are we trying to be serious? Does Bruce Wayne really have a Batman line of credit? Why is Bane so stupid? Is this the same Uma Thompson who was in Pulp Fiction? What is happening? It is funny how these conversations always lead into Shumacher's movies though.
