I swear this isn't bait, I really just want to know what you guys think about this comparison and if it is valid or not. I like both versions of Batman quite a bit so I was just curious why one is so hated and the other is beloved by so many. Please don't think I want to start some sort of fight I really want to hear your opinions.

If any of you guys have seen Cosmopolis, you can see how well Pattinson does the cool playboy persona. What I wonder is how adjusted will Bruce be in the sequel after his arc in the first movie? The is the Scott Snyder portrayal in the early New 52 as a playboy who runs charity, Bales Batman who is pretending to be drunken but secretly helping the city, The classic issue of Batman that signified the end of the silver age where Bruce moved out of his manor and into the penthouse (similar to the first movie) and starts a company called Victims Inc to help crime victims in his Bruce Wayne persona, Batman Dark Age where he is seen as a sort of counterculture symbol of charity, and Batman Returns, where Bruce Wayne is still very much a shut in but will show up to board meetings to use his influence, or will Bruce still be the long haired grungy character in the first movie with slight changes?

I made this about a week after Tim Sale passed on. It's based on the cover art from the newer editions of Batman: Haunted Knight. It looks better from a distance away rather than close up.
