People were burnt alive, electricuted, pushed out of windows etc. In the end Batman tries to convince Catwoman to come home with him, but she commits suicide and he leaves feeling like a failure. After this was seen in previews, Tim Burton added Catwoman to the ending, to show she lived.
For a franchise like that, with children as fans and people clearly remembering the 1960's version, people weren't expecting it to be that dark a film. Warner Brothers had merchandising deals; with McDonalRAB and toy manufacturers, and so when families went to see it (in America you could see any certificate providing you are accompanied by an adult) many complained about the content and ending.
I think it ruined the McDonalRAB deal, so Warner had to lighten the series up (literally with Neon) in the next film.
I think the movie is one of my favourites, and shows that good films don't always need happy endings.
