Batman Arkham Asylum and City games made me kinda hate Nolan's Batman.

Arkham Asylum is fine but Arkham City has a downright terrible story with terrible pacing. The style and tone of it is pretty great, but I'm not sure why the games would have that effect on Nolan films for you.

Arkham City is a mess - bad guys coming out of nowhere/disappearing suddenly only to introduce a new one and never really talk about the other again. Catwoman's story doesn't tie up. The Joker story/his plan is really silly. Batman's character gets diluted in all of this.

Like I said, the style and tone are really cool but they don't hold a candle to the storytelling/character progression of the Nolan films. Far more exciting.
 
You are right, it's not the actual story but the look and feel of the characters and the atmosphere.

Gotta respect Nolan's version though. I mean, from reading more about Batman in Wikipedia, it seems it's not Batman anymore but ROBIN ROBIN ROBIN ROBIN.

???

Character design is not the Arkham series' strong point.

You mean in the comics? Why would you say that?
 
Because I don't feel like reading about the 4th or 5th Robin? Shit sounds really silly. Fucking comics.

And to each his own but I strongly prefer the games character designs. And I don't have to listen to muffled voices in the game.

That's a shame, there's a lot of Robin stories that are among the best Batman stories. The 2009-2011 Batman & Robin series was crazy awesome too.
 
Yes.



The cover of the re-release of The Killing Joke has the quote in the top left corner "I loved THE KILLING JOKE... It's my favorite. It's the first comic I've ever loved" - Tim Burton

EDIT: This is the best quality cover I could find of it:

There was a dispute between Kevin Smith and Tim Burton, considering the ending to Planet of the Apes IIRC, how the end of Burton's Planet of the Apes resembled a scene in one of Smith's comics.
Smith confronted Burton, who replied as follows, according to Smith:
He said "Anybody who knows me knows I would never read a comic book." Which to me, explains Batman. "And I certainly would never read anything written by Kevin Smith." Whoa! The... the claws came out. The... the fucking scissorhands came out!

Dick was great(though is much better as Nightwing)
Jason meh
Tim was the best Robin
and Damian is an interesting character.

Well someone's lying. Either that or Burton's batshit crazy: "Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another... If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!"
 
The last one looks like it has condensation, so either it rains inside that - or Bruce bought this and soup'd it up (Cause he still hates Angier)

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea,
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.

But did you know that when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray,
Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the gray.

There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say,
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby.
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny,
Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby?

But did you know that when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray,
Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah.
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the gray.

I've been kissed by a rose on the gray.
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray.
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray .
And if I should fall, would it all go away?
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah
I get a feeling that I never never never never had before, no no
I get a good feeling, yeah
Oh oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah
I get a feeling that I never never never never had before, no no
I get a good feeling, yeah
 
And I was like...

Baby, baby, baby oooh
Like baby, baby, baby nooo
Like baby, baby, baby oooh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

Baby, baby, baby oooh
Like baby, baby, baby nooo
