It's the Dark Knight Detective by way of Il Maestro.

The Big Picture Batman Returns is not the standard by which film adaptations of The Dark Knight are measured. Even the movie’s biggest fans — and I’m one of them — should be willing to admit that. It’s too idiosyncratic and personal an interpretation to reflect the party line on Batman from the 1990s, let alone today. Not that Tim Burton or screenwriter Daniel Waters have ever claimed otherwise.

Tim Burton Has Acknowledged the Influence Federico Fellini and Other Directors Had on Him Even Burton’s biggest fans — and again, I’m one of them — could admit that some of his films tick all those boxes in a rather perfunctory way. It’s a little disheartening to me to see him helm a reworking of The Addams Family when that’s such a predictable subject matter for him. But you can’t reduce any artist’s work to an adjective without leaving out a lot of nuances.

If the criteria aren’t limited to color palette or curly Qs, and these attitudes toward the filmmaking process are considered, it’s not too hard to find traces of Fellini in Burton’s films. But as far as expressing more influence, Batman Returns may be Exhibit A. For one thing, Burton and Waters bonded over their love of Fellini. Their attitude towards his work differed slightly, according to Waters.
