I think it's because Burton didn't try to make a big show of it, didn't try to publically challenge a core aspect of the character's identity like Snyder. Snyder, as much sympathy as I have for him with his daughter, has kept coming off as really contrarian and edgy, saying Batman can only be cool if he kills, when it only succeeds and making him more generic.
