I like Bale's Bruce Wayne compared to Keaton's, who came across as wooden to me. I like that Bale's Batman is much more self-righteous, while Keaton's was more vigilante. I do appreciate that Keaton's turn in the suit was way more a stretch and a pleasant surprise to boot, but the latest Batman movies are just way better scripted.

After Burton's first Batman movie, it turned into one star-villain-turn after another. All Jim Carrey did was ape Frank Gorshan's Riddler from the '60s TV series, which seemed to be Schumacher's template.
