Things Burton did better than Nolan
Burton is a very visual artist and with Batman character he wanted to create a world where a character like Batman would make sense or be believable to a viewer. Nolan on the other hand is for some reason fascinated by the suits, people in suits and offices and in the dark knight that is his setting. Business offices, buildings, and so on. Now am I the only one who finds it silly to watch a grown man dresses as a bat where the backdrop is some business building or an office and two gentlemen, Harvey and commissioner Gordon are having a normal conversation, of course dressed normally. What about the Batman under the neon lights in a basement, interrogating the joker while the police observes a guy dressed as a Batman through a window, scream incoherently. My reaction honestly to that is laughter, not unlike joker because in this movie and setting batman just makes no sense and is funny. At least Burton had the common sense to keep him in the shadows, against the gothic backdrop where it kind of looks cool.
