The reason batman begins worked is because it was relatively subtle and character driven. the reason people like batman is because they like the idea of a normal human with unlimited resources getting access to gadgets that make him a badass, and alot of us really really like when all the elements of the story have semi realistic explanations. In Batman Begins it was awesome as hell when sandman got sprayed with his own hallucinogen and then saw batman as a demon, because the premise was relatable but still fantasy/comic bookish.
dark knight started moving away from that with harvey dent and the ridiculous face they put on him and the "gotham needs the hero it deserves" bs. Give us crazy rich white guy, ninja training, military gear, stringing up mob bosses. start there and don't go too far.
