American Psycho will always be my favorite Christian Bale film (and was also the first one I saw). I thought Dark Knight was phenomenal the first time I saw it, but it's too long to give it a second watch since the excitement was in the suspense and the action. Knowing already what to expect makes the movie less watchable to me, such as with Sin City.
Also, I agree Burton receives too much credit, especially for that piece of theatrical crap called Corpse Bride. But, in general the movies he takes part in are rather enjoyable. I am both interested and appalled by the idea of him remaking Frankenweenie, but I am curious to see how it compares to the original.
Also, welcome back, OP, though I likely knew you not.
