tim burton did a good job with batman, but for the most part, it was kind of incomplete. first off, he focused more on the joker/batman rivalry from its beginnings than batman actually being the caped crusader. nicholson gave a masterful performance as the joker, but keaton never quite fit as batman. (yeah, i know burton chose keaton beause of his eyes, but the rest just didn't fit)

batman begins, however, had a fuller storyline. the focus was gotham city being overran by crime to the point where nearly every cop, judge, or district attorney was corrupt. that bruce wayne's parents were killed was an effect of a corrupt city. that made bruce an avenger against crime, something gotham didn't have a shortage of. plus bruce learned that in order to understand crime, he had to understand the criminal life. that's what always gave batman an advantage over his foes. overall, "batman begins" was just a better movie from beginning to end.
