Well yes it may not be "new" "flashy" and "modern", but it has lasted almost 20 year and will last 20 more, Great movies always do .

It sure will. I was just saying that Burton's Batman isn't the modern day comic, it is the very early comics. The very first comics they made. That's fine.

True Burton's films are more the Original comic, esp Batman but alot of that has to do with him being expertly played by Michael Keaton which still needs to be bested. you can also see the original comic through the style, tone, costumes and hell even some of the scenes are taken right out of it.

And for those who said that Keaton was not physically fit for the part, all they have to do is look at the first several issues of Detective Comics in 1939 where Bruce/Batman appears to be average height and build!

[The Dark Knight]

Yeah, true. He did have some strength, but it was the suit that truly made him the animalistic hero.
