I suppose that is quite a long while (although I don't agree with the "plops" bit, several of those films are really good), I just think the problem is that the realistic aesthetic is getting tiresome now, and it would be nice to see something more heightened again - like Affleck's version, if those films and characterisation weren't a mess.
Yeah, I was being a bit unfair with "plops" - just expressing my boredom and frustration with the urge to make every Batman "grittier" and grimmer than the rest. Batfleck was exactly this same kind of scowling, hyper-violent cunt, only transposed into a sillier universe (that was nevertheless also showing and hyper-violent when he was on screen, until Whedon's reshoots dramatically and unconvincingly attempted a tonal 180.
That said, I don't actually rate most of the Batman films since Burton took the helm. Some are passable ('89 Batman, Begins), some are shite (the Schumachers, DKR, the Batflecks), all are flawed and a bit naff with the exception of Batman Returns, which is bonkers and fun, and The Dark Knight, which is a masterpiece of mainstream superheroics.
It pisses me off mate, it's such a lazy criticism. Batman has always been dark/grim, the kid-friendly stuff is the outlier. Even Batman TAS, ostensibly a kids' show, is darker than fuck compared to contemporaries. The comics have been dark for decades, that's what I want, that's what I read, and I actually read them.
Bollocks, there's been plenty of variation in tone ever since the Silver Age wrapped up, most notably with Grant Morrison's fantastic run that contained lots of twisted horrific stuff, plus moments like this:

Right now the DCU is being attacked by a multiverse of Batmen, including a T-rex Batman and a monster truck Batman...

I mean, the actual comic is shit, but whatever.
We've had "realistic" grim Batman on our screens for 15 years now, through the Nolan films, then Batfleck (who was in a silly universe but was himself all scowly and violent and horrible), and the Daredevil Netflix show.
[1]I'm glad you're looking forward to it, and I'm sure it'll be great because Reeves, Pattinson and Wright are all very, very good at what they do. But I'm burned out on this kind of tone for this kind of character, and especially disinterested in seeing those fucking pearls tumbling in slow motion for the 500th time.
