I agree with you wrt Batman Returns and Batman Forever. Batman and Robin was just plain bad, though. It was a comedy that wasn't funny.

But yeah, Batman fundamentally can't exist in the real world. Other superheroes have an acknowledged break from reality that allows them to work ("It's like the real world except there's this alien who's physiology allows him to leap tall buildings in a single bound," "It's like the real world except a 1 in 10^1,000,000 radiation accident gave a kid spider-powers", etc.) but Batman doesn't have this. We're expected to believe that Batman became a superhero just because he really wanted to be one. The only way Batman makes sense is if the world he lives in is fundamentally off-kilter.
