You can make this kind of reasons for Nolan's over Burton's. I think people should watch for enjoying not for comparison . I enjoyed both director's movies (even Batman Returns ) except TDKR , I really don't like it.
I think opposite for some of the reasons in article.
15-The Suit: Really? a bright yellow color belt , Nolan's suit is better. N
14-The Action: Action in TDK is far more superior, even in article prison van chase accepted best. N
13-Cast: Burton's cast is good but Nolan's cast better. Mostly because of Morgan Freeman, Aaron Echart and Gary Oldman . Burton really not cared for Gordon and Dent . Even Fox doesn't in the movie. N
12-The Batcave:Yes Burton's used Batcave better. B
11-Introducing Batman: It's hard to choose. Nolan started with a origin story , Burton started with urban myth like in first Detective comics. Both are fine. D
10-Boring Bruce Wayne Scenes: Really? Again first film is origin story and I enjoyed his training scenes. N
9-Theme Tune: Burton's is better but you can't easily top Danny Elfman . And Zimmer made an excellent work. B
8-A More Fun Joker: No, Ledger is better and far more closer to comic version . They say "Jack Nicholson was much closer to the comic book version" , did they really read comic books? The definitive joker story is "Killing Joke " , thats what I see in Ledger's performans it's the joker in the killing joke. N
7-Batmobile: Agree Burton's version better but I really liked Batpod scene in TDK. B
6-The Batwing: Again Burton's version . B
5-Bale vs Keaton: Bale is better Bruce Wayne , Keaton is better Batman . Of course Keaton wins but I think neither of them portrayed definitive Batman. B
4-Final Fights: Did Burton's versions are really fights? Nolan's versions are better , Ra's Al Ghul scene and Joker they are real fights. N
3-Gotham City: To be fair Burton's version has really good gothic atmosphere but it looks not a real city , I like Nolan's version. N
2-Why So Serious?: I don't think it is a comperable reason . Two versions have different tones. D
1-Escapism: It's hard to determine. Nolan's version have realistic feel but it's escapist too in the same time. I choose Nolan's version . Because I watched in a realistic world how Batman works. N
8-5 Nolan wins.
