Ahem.

OT: Split between TDK and TDKR. Begins was good, but I felt like they hadn't quite fully committed to the realist interpretation they came to in TDK, and I preferred all of the character stuff and training scenes to him as Batman, in the latter half.
Fine then, pronounce, is that better? I also enjoyed how in Batman Begins there was more of Alfred doing alfred stuff, rather than him crying and running away in DKR.

Honestly? None of them. I like the franchise, In a respect I like what Nolans films did for the franchise, but as actual films related to batman? They have always felt more like series after series of promos for the film rather than the actual film itself. So yeah, not a fan.

Begins of course.

The Dark Knight is too long, it can be separated into 'Joker' and 'post Joker' sections and the Post Joker goes on far too long. Two Face should have been film number three, way better than Mr Mumble, instead it just keeps going and going and going.

Batman Begins doesn't have Heath Ledger in it, but it's the most complete film.

Batman Begins was BS. League of Shadows? What the fuck!
The Dark Knight was brilliant, but The Dark Knight Rises was the best, thanks to reasons I can't quite identify. Something about Bane's plan, and Gotham's response.

im with this guy, rises is my fave because bane was a bad ass villian, tom hardy killed it, he was just as good as the joker if you ask me, and he manages to turn gotham into an anarchist state. i loved at the end when bane and batman are having their penultimate punchup and bane starts snarling. that shit was AWESOME!

Eh, I really liked Bane, and I liked the Dark Knight rises.

I still haven't seen Batman begins. Eh.

Another for The Dark Knight for the same reasons - Health Ledgers absolutely amazing performance.

Take Joker out of the film and I'd say it'd be indistinguishable from the other films which, personally, I thought were 'pretty good' rather than worldendingly fantastic.

Batman Begins.

Dark Knight has to be the single most overrated film in existence, and Rises was better, but was a mess of plotholes.

The one with the Joker in it. I don't know much about Batman, but I think the villains are much better than the hero itself. Heath Ledger was amazing as the joker, and in the end it did manage to top off with a rather humanitarian message.

I am torn between the first two movies. I just can't decide. I would say BB but then I remember all the amazing scenes in TDK. I'd say TDK but then I remember all the amazing scenes in BB. Fuck it. I can't choose.

The Dark Knight for me, simply because the only character I like to come from Batman is the Joker, and god damn was that a good Joker.

The Dark Knight, no contest.

I find it hard to even compare the three movies. The first one was a bit too much random Nolanitis, the third one was severe Nolanitis, temporary Shamalayashmoo brainfarts and recycled props that, at times, looked like a cheap Chinese knockoff of something plasticky cheap out of Power Rangers. Turrets made of metal do not wobble, hollow, obviously fake turrets made of styrofoam and plastic do. I really, really dislike the third one and find it difficult to not just plain hate it.

The first one wasn't bad, but it did not impress me like, say, Memento. The third Nolanman bat movie induced a dreamlike trance, in which I saw Christopher Nolan becoming something, some thing like the Great Revisor, suicidal scissor-man George of Lucas. Or some singular ctulhu-ridden entity like Michael Bay, who isn't shy to mess with big names and franchises but still, basically, keeps making the same movie over and over again. With lots of BOOM! Michael Bay is who Uwe Boll would have grown up to be had he not been born into a country traumatized and brainfecked beyond all sanity during/after/ever since WWII.

The first Nolan Batman felt like a teaser, one which felt around 75% fresh, one that made me WANT to see another, possibly better one. I got that, so, in retardspect, I can even swallow the whole Rastaghoul plotline and the Scarecrow bits that felt like they were the equivalent of two pages of that Simon Bisley Batman comic, spliced into the script of someone wanting to write something epic that was a mix between Conan Potter and the Bible.

The plot of the third one reminds me of the mumblings of schizophrenic folks. And it's got more heads and tails and butts than most boss characters in Dark Souls. Honestly, I liked some of the visual stuff that really looked cool on the big screen, but most of the dialogue (of which there is, of course, plenty) gives me brain cramps. I also don't dig the flying shitsaucerbat thing. That's just no way of handling the Tumbler, which was a ludicrous and, to quite some extent, fake but nonetheless superb design and 'vehicle'.

I loved Tom Hardy in Bronson, but I think the character of Bane just plain didn't get half the writers or the Nolanman's attention and love as that one and only Joker after Jack Nicholson did.

Nolanman 1: Nice try, but.
Nolanman 2: Hm, Meh, oh. Well done. Superb, da capo. Bonus points for the Rottweilers, hooray. Too bad about the dead guy. Genuine feeling of loss, even though I still find it hard to get over A Knight's Tale.
Nolanman 3: WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WHAT? WHY? HOW? WHY DO THEY DO THAT? WHAT ARE THEY DOING THIS FOR? WHY THIS CONVOLUTED, ROUNDABOUT WAY OF RAISING HELL? WHAT IS THE POINT? WHY ALL THIS TIME MANIPULATION SHIT? IS THIS CHRISTOPER NOLAN'S NOD TO CHRISTOPHER NOLAN'S MOVIE INCEPTION? OR MORE LIKE MEMENTO? WTF? BATMAN SHOOTS ROCKETS INTO A MANS FACE?

Begins knew how to pace itself, and wasn't trying way too hard to be gritty.
Dark Knight didn't know how to pace itself at all, and was trying way too hard to be gritty.
Didn't see Rises.
