In my opinion this film did everything right, took elements of both the original Detective series, and Millers work and blended them into a great film.
Gotham looked "right". The Joker had a suitably dastardly madman plan going on, the origin story was there, the rivalry...the coolest car, best suit/equipment if you ask me.
While not as deliberately dark as Nolans work, it captured the Batman universe that I know and love.
Good atmosphere, Keaton and Nicholson were solid, and the musical score fit the overally tone really well.
I mean it's too bad that the three to follow, even including to am extent Burtons second Bat-film, were pretty much downhill from here.
But yeah, enjoyable film to revisit.

yeah man the first of those four batmans was definitely the best one
i actually sore the old school as one at the shop the other day and thought fuck that would be cool to see again
