What was your favourite death scene in the Burton Batman films?

Lieutenant Eckhart - "Hey Eckhart!  Think about the future."
Carl Grissom - "Is that you sugar bumps?"
Rotelli - "Antoine got a little hot under the collar."
Riscorso - "Hello Vinny.  It's your Uncle Bingo.  Time to pay the check!"
Becky the newsreader - " 'Where can I get these fine new items?'  Well, that's the gag!  Chances are you bought 'em already!"
Thomas and Martha Wayne - "Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?"
Bob - "He stole my balloons!!  Bob!  Gun!" BANG!
The Joker - "ACK! ACK! ACK! ACK!"
The Ice Princess - "Rats with wings do your thing!"
The Fat Clown - "No, it's a lot!"
Max Shreck - "But in the meantime, how 'bout a kiss Anti-Claus?"

His head smashing against the bell gets me every time.

Just on that, characters do a lot of falling in the Burton Batman films.

A few offhand:

Napier into the vat of acid.
Joker goon jumping through Cathedral floor.
The African Thug down the bell shaft.
The Joker off the cathedral.
Max pushing Selina from the office.
Catwoman falling into the 'kitty litter'.
Batman falling off the roof after being shot at.
Ice Princess lighting the tree.
Catwoman falling into the glass house.
Penguin through the roof into the water.

But more so in the Burton ones, I think.

I guess falling symbolizes the fall from power, evil schemes etc., brought down to where you belong.

I think you're right - the literal 'fall from grace'.
Johnny Gobs got ripped and took a walk off a roof, alright? No big loss.

It was meant to represent Batman's fall from grace, at least as far as the public were concerned.  In her case, there was also the added irony of her death 'successfully' activating the Christmas tree lights, a task she had apparently found difficult to get her head around whilst she was still alive...

Hey, you don't need me to make you look stupid... ;)

Seriously though, I thought you made a funny point and I was just giving my opinion.  I hardly think you look stupid just for stating your interpretation of certain scenes.
