It probably won't surprise you that Nolan's Batman is the only one I've ever liked. To be fair, I've never read the comics, so I'm probably missing a lot of iterations, but Adam West never did it for me. I found it boring and too silly. I didn't bother with the 90s movies because they looked awful. When I was in middle school (around when Batman and Robin came out), one of my friends was really into Batman, probably in no small part due to George Clooney, but it was this whole thing with her. We all had to have superhero code names and stuff, and I never understood what the big deal was. I wasn't really into superhero stories at all (again, having never read comics), though I did watch Lois and Clark.
It wasn't until I saw Batman Begins that I went, "OH. Now I see why everyone loves Batman so much." It finally clicked. It's the only version that's ever worked for me (though after this I may give the Burton movies a try).
It's a lot like my experience with Doctor Who, actually. I mean, I liked the first four seasons well enough, but I didn't really see what the big deal was, and I wondered if maybe I was missing something by not having seen Old Who. And then I watched the fifth season, and it just clicked. I got why everyone loved it so much.
