Are you implying that Adam West's movie isn't brilliant?
In all seriousness, you should remember that the comic has changed a great deal. I believe that Adam West's movie was fairly true to the spirit of the comics at the time.

Batman Forever and Batman & Robin were made with the most important thing in mind...Merchandising..Toys, Toys, and some more Toys!!
When they were gonna do a new Superman movie in the 90's the original concept of the suits were done by the Shumaker or what ever the hell his name is. He was the producer and they wanted to make superman's suit all metalic and all these gadgets and crap like that.
Stay simple, and you shall succeed! Batman 1 & 2..SuperMan I-III

For me the Batman Film started when the first Batman film came out in 1989.
I can not and will not acknowledge Adams West films it had nothing to do with methos of Batman

After a few minutes of watching Batman Forever at the cinema I remember thinking 'what have they done? They've ruined it'. The only thing I can say in favour of it is that it's better than Batman and Robin.
Forever had its moments, but Val Kilmer was not a good choice for Batman. Bruce DID NOT have a lisp. When he said, "Tell me, Dr. Marridian. Do you like the circus," I grew angry.

you got no argument from me on that one.as bad of a casting choice Keaton was for the role since he was so physically wrong for the role,Clooney was an even worse choice.the guy looks like EDDIE MUNSTER for crying out loud.
I look at comic book movies/TV as adaptations. Nothing More! They reflect the character at a certain point time or are displayed by someone's current vision. The TV show is corny and stupid, but I still love it. I look at it as 1960's era Batman. Just like the seriels, same thing. Yes, I agree the first two movies and the cartoon were great and the last two films should have been called 'Jim Carrey's Batman Forever', and "Batman and Robin in: We Sold Out Big Time'. However, it's behind us now. Just enjoy it guys. 'Batman & Robin' is a film that was needed to be made. Since then it has set a bar for comic adaptations of "Don't You Even Pull That Shit on Me." Even though some film adaptations have not exactly met up to standards with some(Daredevil, Spider-man, Hulk). You gotta admit they are no where near the crap Shumacher pulled on 'Batman and Robin'.
Was there not enough of a backlash from BATMAN FOREVER that should've made Schumacher rethink what he's doing? Or was he pretty much like "Fck you all...this is my vision."?
Maybe he reveled in the 60s series when everything was camp. In actuality, I think the general public remembers that series quite fondly so Schumacher's Batman movies probably was appealing to them.

Reveled in it or not, he tried to totally rip it off. The Batman show is essentially stupid, but it is acceptably stupid. "Pass down the Bat-shark repellent". Just for cheesy crap like that the show is Classic. It is campy but entertaining, and more or less mirrors batman in the comics. I have seen reprints of comics from late 50's through the 60's, and the show visualy and literary accuratley depicts what he was in the comic during that time. You can't put all the blame on a director, but 'Batman & Robin' is not only a failed adaptation about Batman, it is more a failed movie. It is hardly watchable for many. When taking a cherished icon with all of the resources at your dispoasal, it is an example of 'What not to do'. I'll still buy it for collectors and reference value. But dam, talk about fuking up.
Too Batman And Robin, It was a sorry movie and it was not Batman
When Joker said "Well your not Batman" in ROTJ.
I can see Mark's Hamill;s Joker saying that to Cloony's Batman
Joker "Your not Batman"
Batman Cloony' Your hurt my feelings all I wanted to be was the best Batman ever, I guess I am a laughing stock to all the Batmen that came before me. I not Batman boo boo boo.
