I don't think it will diminish the Keaton/Burton Legacy, judging by the reactions to the trailor, and the chills it gave me, a hardcore anti Marvel/DC film watcher seeing the OG back in the suit. I think it will actually enhance the perception of Keaton's Batman.
I am like you i grew up with Batman 89 and as much as i liked the Nolan series, i never loved them i always thought the dialog was a bit lame, and i couldn't take to Bale, the voice, the suit, the car. But i understand that generations change and this was a film for a new generation. But the cocksucking those films got as if they were masterpieces and getting top 10 IMDB status did bother me, but what pushed it over the line was the fans of the new one pissing on the old ones.
Much like 89, the Nolans were films of their time and the DKT were all part of the now tired trend of everything having to be super serious and played straight. I think people are now getting bored of all that hence why Top Gun 2 was so well received, also just because a film takes it's self seriously doesn't mean they have the quality of writing to match it. I think deep down everyone always loved 89 but the Nolan series had people thinking they weren't watching a movie they were watching a 'Film' so they thought 89 was beneath them. Now the dust has settled people are crying out for 89
And hearing that Danny Elfman score strike up and hearing Keaton drop the line was like Stone Cold Steve Austin coming back today and having the final line, i think it's great that Keaton get's the last word.
I agree the Film will probably be a huge pile of gash though and for 3 minutes worth of Keaton we will have to suffer 2 hours of that other prick
