I think the new movies are excellent (I haven't seen Rises, yet). They are, however, very modern, and seriousness dominates. I think the character and plot detail and depth are much greater than the Burton ones.
The black humor, perversity, and slapstick of the Tim Burton movies is something I doubt we'll see again any time soon, if ever, though. They were definitely masterpieces. Hollywood seems to be unable to make movies these days with style, and only a few indies and star movie makers manage to come up every now and then with enough budget to do it with effects-heavy genres. What makes it is hard to pin down, for me, but that quality, where the movie really feels like it is its own universe, seemed to mostly disappear from big name producers and studios sometime in the mid 90s, IMV. In the last decade or more, I've seen it more often in TV series than movies.
