It's sort of too serious for a silly take on Batman and too silly for a serious take on Batman.
Yes! Couldn't have put it any better myself. It is really dark and thinks it is taking itself seriously like the first one, but it is extremely goofy. And I absolutely can't stand their take on the Pinguin... some disgusting dirty freak who lives under ground and digs through peoples trash. That would be almost as bad as a Superman movie that decides to reinvent Lex Luther as some crazy homeless guy with a head full of shaggy hair.
I can't say it is my least favorite Batman movie, because I think I hate all the sequels to the '89 film the same, it was definitely the begining of the end for the poor series (not that I ever felt Tim Burton's Batman was anything really special to begin with, though no where near as bad as its sequels).
