More realistic Gotham or out-of-time Gotham?

I think they're both similar.
The distinction for me would be between Nolan/Burton and Schumacher. Schumacher's had a more fantasy-driven Batman who surfboarded in space, had Bat ice skates pop out of his boots on command, and a villain who could freeze an entire city with a telescope.
Burton and Nolan have slightly different visual styles, but Batman was set in the real-world in both their versions, more or less. Batman Returns was a tad more fantasy, but Batman 89 was realistic. No fantasy villains existed.
And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane
By those who could not hear the music. -

Of course but what I'm asking is would you prefer the new Batman movies to have a Gotham City that looks like an actual city yet bigger, darker, more dangerous (like Nolan did) or would you prefer it to feel unreal yet cooly stylized (like the Animated Series' dark deco or Sin City's (green screen) craziness)?
The Gotham City in Batman 89 was deliberately out-of-time, the clothes and cars were very 1930s, the Cathedral was a Gothic behemoth. Schumacher upped on the the architecture, statues, etc. but made other things more modern.

Burton’s Batman was not set in the “real world” idiot
