Why are you saying he didn't do Batman right? Have you honestly read the comics? There was nothing blatantly wrong with the first two Batman movies by Burton, IMO.

There was a lot wrong with Burton's stuff. I have read the comics. He got it wrong. You who didn't read the comics? Burton. By his own admission.

I won’t presume to promise you’re going to love “Inception,” but I can safely say your intelligence won’t be insulted. Within the rules set up by the filmmakers, the story is ingeniously plotted and well paced without ever seeming rushed. It’s the first time in several years I’ve heard an audience gasp at a movie. And for once I believed Leo DiCaprio was a grownup. Even with the two-and-a-half hour running time — it didn’t seem that long — there’s not much time for character development, and yet the actors do a great job. I was particularly impressed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I won’t tell you more about the plot, as I strongly suggest you go into it as ignorant of the content as possible. Just make sure you’re awake and ready to engage. This is one summer movie that insists you DON’T check your brains at the door. Thank you, Christopher Nolan, for giving us all a little credit!
