Sadly, the pendulum is stuck/hasn't swung back from moody and gritty. The "Gotham" TV show, which I like, and the upcoming Batman v Superman seem likely to continue the dark, serious aesthetic of the Nolan films, although at least "Gotham" has room for some of the more outlandish aspects that were missing from TDK trilogy, and seeing as Batman will be joining Superman in the Zack Snyder films I guess they can't be 'realistic'. I just wish there was some more room for humour and colour.

While i like the Nolan movie. Frankly Nolan approach leaves something to be desired. Even in the comics today there still tons of Fantasy Elements. And frankly the only one i can watch over and over again is Batman Begins. I think doing a appropriate batman is somewhere in the middle. Not too much realism and not too much fantasy and after 7 years of dark and glum. Batman could do with a little levity. Frankly The Animated Series and The Arkham Games are still the best versions of the Modern Day Batman. And Both had quite a lot of moments of humor. I dont think any of the Batman Movies have gotten Batman totally right. Burton got the look of Gothem Right. But had Batman doing stupid crap like killing people. Hell Adam West was more in character of Batman than Tim Burton's Batman. Nolan got a lot of things right. Until the third movie where Batman mopes around because his annoying girlfriend dies. Alfred leaves which is totally out of character. Not to mention he had to diminish Batman Villains in order to make it work. Ra's Al Ghul would fine taking over Gothem City to be a waste of his Time. The Comic Book Bane would have Nolan Bane wetting his pants. The Adam West shows represented the 60 Batman very well. I loved back in the 80's when people bitched about this show. Even tho the 50's and 60's Batman where cheesier then Sh!t. Even if nobody wanted to admit it.

Nolan's films are my favorite of the Bat-Films by far. That's not to say I don't like the others. Burton's films I think still hold up very well for the most part. My biggest complaint is that Wayne/Batman is really sidelined in Burton's (If looked at one way though, this helped keep the character sort of mysterious). Schumacher's are entertaining in their own right. "Forever" is ok, Wayne is given a bit of a character arc which was a nice change, and "Batman and Robin" can on its own horrible merits can be enjoyed (although a controlled substance may be the only way for most people).
However West's Batman is so utterly off-the-wall entertaining that it's probably my third or fourth favorite Batman movie. -

Alot of people may have missed it but Dark Knight Rises made the ultimate tip of the hat homage to this film in its finale scene.

You're allowed to like both the campy Roger Moore Bond films, and the uber serious Daniel Craig ones; so why can't one like both the campy Adam West Batman, and the uber serious Christian Bale/ Chris Nolan ones?
