I never had a problem with Singer's films and I still don't. Superman Returns was not a bad film in my opinion, not the greatest return to the franchise of the Man of steel but there is infinitely worse movies out there then Superman Returns. Burton's designs are not saying that the characters are not appealing prior to a make over.
But it's a different person's view on the subject. The whole Willy Wonka movies are a fine example. The original was actually WAY off from the book and Rold Dhal hated it, but Burton's remake was actually closer to the material. Every director will put his or her own spin on a movie be it a novel or comic book and I'd rather watch the movie and enjoy it then worry about "what's wrong" with it.
The Ninja turtles movies I feel still has the chance to become a solid franchise again. Now I must admit as much as I enjoyed TMNT, it wasn't a solid "restarter" like Casion Royale was for Bond or Batman Begins was for Batman. I think if they come back for a sequel, they should do more known villains, regardless if Shredder is back or not.
I want to see some of the other bad guys in the Turtles verse, especially Krang. I think if they use a variety of mutant villains like they did in TMNT but spaced it a bit more and allowed more characters to become in depth, we could really see some quality villains make a quality movie transition.
