eh depends on what i'm feeling, Dark Knight is my favorite, and 1 or 3 after that depending on what day/what i'm wanting to watch.
Weirdest poll of the new year. I'm really curious about the few souls who've clicked for TDKR. Did they misclick? Are they trolling? Do they just really like terrible movies? We may never know.
Gotta go with this. The Joker was fantastic.Bitter Hobbit said:
So I'm gleeful that his voice is one of the impersonations I can truly say I've mastered.
Difference between which was the best and which was my favourite. Personal favourite is Batman Begins. Objectively it's probably easier to argue that The Dark Knight is the best.
This is no poll; it is merely a thread dedicated to how awesome Heath Ledger was.
Honestly, did anybody else expect the results to be different from what they are?

It's crazy that some people think TDKR was the best. I thought it was a massive disappointment.
OT: I'd say Begins is my favorite, it had an origin story done right and as one poster in this thread said, the city actually seemed like Gothsm.
TDK is a close second.

My favourite one is Dark Knight for the usual reasons but objectively I think Batman Begins is the best. The story and acting (apart from Joker and Bane of course) is just better in that one and I think Cillian Murphy had an interesting take on Scarecrow. And of course Liam Nieson is just awesome at everything he does.

The Dark Knight of course. It's honestly one of my favorite movies ever. It just hits every beat so right, the dialogue is good, the acting is everywhere between good and frickin unbelievable, the plot and action are exciting, the themes are deep and dark, I love Michael Cane, the music is intense, the direction is superb, it's just a great film.
Begins is also terrific. That's an origin story done right. The villians are a little weak I guess but who doesn't like Liam Neeson? It was the Batman movie we all deserved, and the start of a very promising franchise.
Rises is a bit uneven. Bane is great, I love how he was done and Tom Hardy is quite an underrated actor. Catwoman, though, made very little sense. Her motivation is a total mystery really. Also, the "surprise" villain at the end was utter nonsense as well as completely pointless. Also it's kind of just a rehash of Begins. Why won't the League just leave Gotham alone? Nevertheless I liked it, it just didn't fulfill the promise of the first two in the trilogy.
Like pretty much everyone else, my order is Dark Knight, then Batman Begins, then Dark Knight Rises.
DKR was decidedly average for me, with massive plot holes/inconsistencies and rather poor acting for a movie of its budget.
Batman Begins is a really good movie. There isn't really much else to add.
Dark Knight, however. Holy hell did Heath Ledger do a fantastic job. Doing a better job than the main freaking character is no easy feat. Oh, and the story made the most sense out of all of them, it was the most..."real," I guess would be the word I'm looking for.

The Dark Knight by a fair ways.
Although it had flaws of its own (like trying to cram Two-face in at the end there), it gave alot more effort to its build up and being a singular cohesive story.
Begins wasn't bad, but was cluttered. Sticking the origin story in eats up tons of time, and the whole final act felt a little rushed as a result (This applies a lot to superhero movies in general).
The Dark Knight rises was a cluttered mess that showed apparently no one learned a thing from Forever and B&R, because they suddenly try and shove 4 new major characters in at once. Predictably, the cohesiveness and development of everyone suffers, and existing characters (like Fox and Gordon) are almost shoved out of the movie (Heck, even Batman was fairly minimal) On top of that, after forging some success with alternative takes, they suddenly bend over backwards to make nods to the comics, which all prettymuch seemed heavily shoe-horned in.

While I like all 3 films, I'll say The Dark Knight, because, in addition to Heath Ledger's Joker, I really liked Aaron Eckhart's performance as Harvey Dent/Two-Face.
I have a love and hate relationship with Nolan's Batman movies, but The Dark Knight Rises is the one that I enjoyed the most. I liked the story and themes, the scale of it, the characters, the spectacle, and also, I feel that the movie wouldn't really have worked if it wasn't for its score. If Hans Zimmer doesn't receive an award for his work on TDKR, someone needs to be knee-chocked by Bane.
