That said TDKR is a better written movie to me and Bane was a !!in' boss its just as dope but since Bane face is mostly covered you can't see facial expressions that would have added the great acting. Also I don't know about that Robin !! at the end though.

Heath Ledger actually died while he was filming another movie. He been wrapped out filming the joker months before he overdosed.

Just got back.

I think The Dark Knight was the greatest comic book movie of all time.

But this trilogy is the GOAT comic book trilogy. Nothing is going to top it for years.

TDKR was a great movie, but the way the villains were taken out left something to be desired for me, personally. But that was my only complaint. Otherwise great ending to the trilogy. What the hell else could Nolan and this Batman story arc do? Let's not forget the story is ABOUT BATMAN/BRUCE WAYNE. So yeah, finish it.

I gotta put TDKR at the top of the list. That movie was so damn trill.

Sure, the Joker is (arguably) the best villain of all time. BUT TDKR had a better story and came together so well at the end.

It was the perfect way to end the trilogy.

TDKR

TDK

Batman Begins

TDKR right now at the top of the list because this was a all around great movie. It had story, villian, action, love, twist, and etc. Anyone that don't feel the same prob just mad It wasn't alot more Batman in the movie

I dunno, after watching TDKR this morning i have to say its more epic than the first two but prob a bit short of TDK. The whole trilogy is bangin, much better than the cartoony Batman of the past.

The dark knight easily and i mean easily. joker toyed with gotham toyed with batman and harveys psyche / and was just a crazy[..] villian. i also felt the city and characters were a lot more realistic and grimey. the movie flowed better too
batman begins
the dark knight rises. too much going one but had a lot of great ideas . great movie intense af ending . [pic] cant believe its over . all 3 were classic . wtf am i suppose to look forward now these gay[..] marvel movies or !![..] superman .

So.. that would mean..That isn't robin at the end. The platforms "RISE" basically implying that JGL is Batman therefore "The Dark Knight Rises"..

Also..

Alfred seeing Bruce and Selina was not some self projected image.

Bruce Wayne is dead (in the public eye), Batman is "dead" (until the city needs him again) and Selina used that device Batman gave her earlier to wipe her identity and crime records from the system entirely. They both likely got hitched and started a new life together.

I've watched Batman Begins over 50 times, I will watch Rises just as many....TDK, I've watched maybe 4 times....good movie, but over rated.

Huge batman fanboy and Nolan fan here and I personally thought TDKR was the worst of the three

There was too little Batman in the film, Talia's character was too under developed and Bane went out like a !!. Movie might as well have been 'Robin Begins'. I'm kind of annoyed they didn't stay true to the comics and cast !! Grayson or Tim Drake if they wanted to go the Robin/Nightwing route, instead of creating a new character as Nolan likes to do.

I think the best thing about that movie is that it was 2 hours and 45 minutes, but it didn't drag.

In TDK, once the joker was gone and we move on to Harvey Dent as the villain, the movie dragged for the last 45 minutes or so

TDKR gets better and better as it goes on and keeps you thoroughly engaged the whole time. Especially at the end.

Dark Knight Rises
Batman Begins.

the foolishness RISES , bane destoryed everthing that bruce/batman had but he not a better villian than joker???[pic]

Batman outsmarted the joker, and never actually defeated bain without some help from a tip in prison and you know who? but joker is a better villain???[pic]

Bain brought nuclear terrorism into perceptive and martial law and made the president do a[pic] but joker is a better villain????[pic]

Dude, just because Bane !!ed more !! up then The Joker doesn't make him a better villain [pic].

Heath's performance as The Joker is one of the most incredible performances by any actor of ALL TIME.

Just because Tdkr had more action you think that makes it a better movie? [pic]

There is not one single thing Tdkr did better then Tdk besides being on a grander scale and having more action.

maybe you need to rethink what a villain is, maybe its just acting to you, i consider the setting and all who are involved and affected by it.

if you were saying heath acted better than hardy you would have a valid argument, but better villain is being a bad guy the whole world is scarred by not just one city full of corrupt police. bane was on the CIA hit list in the beginning of the movie, was joker??

You k!ll me dude cause you don't acknowledge any other factor about my previous comment other than scale, but I understand it not meant for all to get it, only those capable of understanding something bigger[pic]

I'm really suprised the vote is so close between TDK and TDKR... And that TDKR has 40 votes.

Not in a bad or good way... Just suprised.

It was good my nicca Illy. You should enjoy. Hopefully you stayed spoiler free.
They are all 3 different approaches if you ask me. And I'm glad. 3 different approaches same epic character, same intelligent director. Good money.
