I have to disagree with you a bit. IMO, what went wrong with Batman were two things: Michael Keaton (or lack of thereof) and Tim Burton (and... well). Honestly, Val Kilmer or George Clooney are not on the same league (not to talk about the rest of the cast, which does more harm than good as the movies add up), and Joel didn't 'get' the character quite as well as Tim did.
Batman Returns, I think, was quite good, although I won't try to dispute if #1 was better or not. Kim Basinger vs. Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken vs. Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito... very tough decisions ^_^ The Batman/Joker thing is really well done, and the plot is more involved in the second one.
