The success of the Burton films directly inspired the creation of the still very highly regarded ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''.

* LighterAndSofter: After vocal complaints about ''Batman Returns'' being "too dark" and following Tim Burton's departure, ''Batman Forever'' amped up the camp and colors, more specifically with its villains (with Creator/TommyLeeJones and Creator/JimCarrey trying to [[HamToHamCombat out-ham each other]]) and neon aesthetics. ''Batman and Robin'' went the extra mile with a HurricaneOfPuns mainly coming from Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger's Mr. Freeze.

* TwoDecadesBehind: The Burton films depicted Gotham City being ''four'' decades behind. Even though it's clear from the context that the stories are occurring during about the last decade of the 20th century, newspapers still cost about 25 cents, a chemical plant still dumps its toxic waste in the river, suburbs are nonexistent (except for Wayne Manor, of course), the town is without solar or even nuclear power, women still have no way to fight back against discrimination in the workplace, fedoras and late-1940s "New Look" dresses are everywhere, criminals fire Thompson submachine guns, and while the cars are at least contemporary, Bruce Wayne thinks nothing of having Alfred drive him around in a very old-fashioned 1930s Rolls-Royce. Some of this can, of course, be justified by PurelyAestheticEra.
