I think the darker Batman is more badass. I like dark things. c:

Robin never was a skinhead, that's just silly. Robin became Nightwing. And Nightwing has really cool hair.

My dad's got some 80's Batman comics lying around, in which batman basically just beats the stuff out of everything and leaves bloody bodies behind, then walks down a Gotham alley full of whores and beggars.
Batman's been pretty dark for a long time.
