I've always been fond of Batman 1989 and Returns. (I love the Nolan trilogy and 2022 is my fifth favorite movie ever, but I enjoy Batman being dense/wacky. I also contend the Partyman scene is the best in any Batman adaptation). This captures the gothic/noirish while also being wacky aesthetic of the film. The villains are outrageous and bombastic

Hugo Strange is evil Frasier Crane

, Gotham is smog-choked mirage, and Batman is a growly snarker. Also ties nicely into the films. Investigates Batman and Gotham's lingering trauma from the Joker's rampage as well as some odd creative choices with the third act.

Also retcons Batman and Robin!

Batman also makes great use of increasingly elaborate gadgets to fight an endless wave of fedora wearing goons. It's great. I still despise The Tempest.
