Today, any franchise with a hint of value is so tightly controlled by its corporate owners that it barely makes a difference who directs what. But back in the '80s, Tim Burton was allowed to interpret one massive character in his own unique way.
Shame you were down voted, everyone likes their own things. I preferred the first one until the Nolan ones myself (lived in the middle of nowhere was actually one of the few theatre movies I saw) but there was a horrible drought of superhero movies for those decades and any Batman was fun to get.
I do like the Burton aesthetic, but Forever is still my favorite Batman movie.
