I really should rewatch these films. I'll defend the Adam West version to my dying breath, but I think the last time I watched Burton's Batman I wasn't as impressed, and I'm pretty sure the last time I watched all of Batman Returns it was more than 20 years ago. I watched both of those films dozens of times as a kid, so I remember almost all of both of them (especially the first Batman, HBO would have that on almost constantly).
I do remember reading the Knightfall novelization as a kid and I thought it was actually pretty good, but at that time I didn't know who Dennis O'Neil was. I'm pretty sure I read Roger Stern's Death of Superman novel as well, but that left way less impact on me. That's kind of wild that DC would do their own novelizations though, with pretty well known comic writers helming them to boot.
Really looking forward to hearing your perspectives of Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, I doubt they'll be glowing, but you both have managed to find a lot of positives on stuff that is often overlooked. And in the post-Nostalgia Critic era which relentlessly dogpiled on those films in order to get cheap laughs, I'll be curious to see what are the parts that you thought actually worked.
