Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on the fears of criminals, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.
'Dark and Gloomy' was the order of the day when Burton was doing Batman. It would have been decent then. Now... not so much.
I wouldn't mind seeing him tackle the Mutant Massacre, Kraven's Last Hunt, or a Punisher Reboot... but he should keep clear of Batman until DC has established their universe. (Spawn or Shadowhawk maybe...)
Schumacher has done some really great movies both before and after Batman. I really do believe that a lot of the problems with his movies involved pressure from the studio wanting the toy tie ins. Unfortunately, his name is significantly tarnished when it comes to comic book movies.
