One thing that always amazes me about B&R, is that everyone seems to forget that the prior film also had Bat-nipples on the suit(s). And I can't recall anyone complaining about it. Heck, I myself often forget it! I guess the color of the prior suit(s) didn't bring out the detail so much, but they're there. I think on Robin's eventual suit, too, late in the film for the grand finale. -- even now, I literally can't recall. Mental block I guess. 


For a great critical/humor retrospective of the modern Bat-films up through TDK, there's a series by Chris Simms and someone else at ComicsAlliance, where Simms strongly takes a dissenting stance that B&R is by far the best of the original Tim Burton quadrilogy. (Burton produced the last two, and signed off on the art choices naturally.) Remedial Batmanology or something like that. (A few of the links between parts of the articles are broken unfortunately.)

Still my choice for the single worst movie that I've ever seen. Horrible dialogue, disinterested/awful performances, and a movie that tried to squeeze as many characters as possible into 90 minutes so that toy companies could sell more product (which was only fair, since they picked up some of the production costs). It's so bad that it can't even be enjoyed as a cheezy movie.
