What would you do if you could continue the Burton/Schumacher canon of batman in present day? Who would you cast in the characters roles? What story would you have?

I would have cast:

Jim Caviezel as Bruce Wayne/batman

Penn Badgley as Dick Grayson/nightwing

John Hurt as Alfred Pennyworth

Emma Roberts as Barbara Wilson/batgirl

Michael Fassbender as Victor Fries/mr. freeze

Charlize Theron as Pamela Isely/poison ivy

Neil Patrick Harris as Edward Nygma/the riddler

Josh Brolin or Karl Urban as Harvey Dent/two-face

Kate Beckinsale as Selina Kyle/catwoman

Kristen Bell as Harley Quinn

Robert Knepper as the joker

What are your thoughts?

God bless you all! God bless everyone in your lives! God bless everyone!
 
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here, but if I had my druthers (and a ton of money) and could recruit present-day Tim Burton to redo the Batman series (including Batman Forever, which he produced, and Batman and Robin, which he didn't) independent of the DCEU, here's my "dream" cast:
Batman
Bruce Wayne/Batman: Benjamin Walker
Jack Napier/The Joker: Johnny Depp
Vicki Vale: Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Alexander Knox: Andrew Scott
James Gordon: Paul Giamatti
Harvey Dent: Anthony Mackie
Alfred Pennyworth: Paul Whitehouse
Carl Grissom: Albert Finney

Batman Returns
Bruce Wayne/Batman: Benjamin Walker
Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin: Timothy Spall
Selina Kyle/Catwoman: Amy Adams
Max Schreck: Christoph Waltz
Alfred Pennyworth: Paul Whitehouse
James Gordon: Paul Giamatti
Harvey Dent: Anthony Mackie

Batman Forever
Bruce Wayne/Batman: Benjamin Walker
Harvey Dent/Two-Face: Anthony Mackie
Edward Nygma/The Riddler: Sacha Baron Cohen
Chase Meridian: Anne Hathaway
Dick Grayson/Robin: Ed Sanders
Alfred Pennyworth: Paul Whitehouse
James Gordon: Paul Giamatti

Batman and Robin
Bruce Wayne/Batman: Benjamin Walker
Chase Meridian: Anne Hathaway
Dick Grayson/Robin: Ed Sanders
Victor Fries/Mr. Freeze: Martin Short
Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy: Eva Green
Bane: Matthew McGrory
Alfred Pennyworth: Paul Whitehouse
James Gordon: Paul Giamatti
Barbara Wilson/Batgirl: Mia Wasikowska

I carried over a few characters from film to film in order to create some cohesion, and tried to pick people that Burton has previously worked with or that I felt would best fit the roles.
