Frank Miller's vision of Batman was distinctly different from that of Grant Morrison or any other that has written storylines for DC. The films are no different. Burton's vision was uniquely Burton and stand on their own in the world of cinema. Schumacher borrowed on Burton's success, but made it a lot lighter. Nolan's vision is different still, and everyone will have their preferences. I like them all, even Schumacher's sequel holds some appeal if I'm in the right mood (my niece and nephew are visiting).
It doesn't appear that WB plans on releasing the new films in a set with the originals, but it shouldn't be a stretch if they do at some point. Unlike the 60's Batman film from Fox, Warner has the rights to all 6.
