I picked Tim Burton. Batman '89 was perfect for Burton's direction with the Joker and Batman in the movie because Burtons style, perfectly described, is 2 words: Dark Humor.
Batman is a comic character, way more than a movie character, which is the way Nolan aggressively represents him. Not to say i didn't like "Batman Begins". I'm just saying that Batman is not a movie star that's all.

Maybe in future batman movies, Nolan should throw references to the cadmus project, or "the return" of big blue....what say?
Nolan's my choice for Batman Movies, Joel almost ruined the franchise!
Burton was good too, for his time.....this is Nolan's time!
Burton was good. Batman 89 proved Batman could come again to the big screen and not be a big joke. He brought us the new Batman!!! Leaving behind Adam West, far far behind. With that said I had to pick Nolan because I think his Batman had more style and realism. It was a tough choice though. Without Burton setting the standard, I don't think Nolan's would have been the same. When it comes to Schumacher, heh, heh, heh!!! Who's Joel Schumacher!!!

Buit wait, this is aboot who portrayed Batan the best, not who made the best movie. How can anyone think that either Burton or Schumacher portrayed Batman better than Nolan? Both of those Batmen were NOT the Batman the way he is.
on the contrary! Batman is known from the old comics with his yellow sign, yellow belt, gadgets...all that Keaton had...You don't hear me complaining but Bale almost didn't have gadgets, his suit is new but cool.

I think Batman is mostly known for kicking major ass....Keaton didn't...don't get me wrong, I love that movie but it is not a real portrayal of Batman...of any Batman. Schumacher was even worse...
There were changes to Batman in Batman Begins, if you look at it from the original comics point of view, but id say, they can either change it so its amazing, or not change it at all...bb is based on year one i think and thats a comic
there is a lot of stuff from those versions I would love to frankenstien into one movie.
Bale as batman
Kilmers black suit
Burtons batmobile
Nolan's love intrest
Burton's catwoman
Nicholsan joker
Nolan's Gotham
Nolan's alfred
Shumacher's robin (I thought odonnel was okay)
Burtons music theme
Nolan's portrayal of batman as a character appears much more dark in a realist sense.
Burton's batman was just dark in the strange Burton 'dark'.
Joel's Batman is the darkest if we look at it in the way that Robin tries to protest his homosexuality and is constantly foiled by reality, and that of his homo erotic partner.
