TDKR gives Bruce a happy ending with a partner who truly gets him.

Allows him to do what the comics never could, escape the sick system that poisons his morality.

TDK blows up Rachel to motivate Dent to suddenly go nuts and abandon his morality and become a coin flipping psycho with about as much proper build as Anakin murdering children

I'll watch it with this in mind. I was planning on re-watching the trilogy anyway after reading this thread. I can understand your reasoning, maybe it'll push me over the edge...

For the record I rank Batman Begins far above the rest

That they abandoned the fantastic Batman musical theme they established in BB is tragic.

It's Batman and Robin

The movie's entertaining "so bad it's good" factor is massively overstated. It's just bad in a corny but tedious way.

Gotta be Batman and Robin, unless there's some totally awful animated film I haven't seen (or a black and white batman that's looney tunes-style racist)

Batman v Superman isn't a bad movie, and it's even underrated in my opinion. :-"
But Batman & Robin... I wanted to watch it again some years ago, but it was impossible and stopped it after 30,40 minutes. Sometimes you can watch a bad movie and enjoy it, but Batman & Robin isn't like that.

Batman and Robin.

I remember being the only one who laughed loued at the theater at "holy metal rocks, Batman." It is a shame I have lived with for far too long.

Honestly didn't like any of the Nolan movies. There were great scenes and memorable performances here and there, but as a whole, I thought they didn't work. Heath Ledger definitely was brilliant though.

I'm excited for Battinson because it seems like they're going for something different and Pattinson is an inspired choice. Hoult would have been promising as well.

i wish i could show this thread to the people who were at the old place when TDKR came out. i watched it and made a post along the lines of "TDKR will be remembered as easily the weakest of the trilogy" and got like 100 posters quoting me telling me that i'm insane.

I just watched Batman Forever again last night after the 4k hdr release and it's legitimately better than TDKR.

I mean it's fucking terrible, but it's so ridiculous that it kind of makes it fun. TDKR isn't fun, it's just shit.

TDKR is basically the film people claim Spider-Man 3 is.

It's completely bloated, overly long has forced characters that make no sense (Not Robin) the worst version of Catwoman a low point montage that is silly and dull (Borken Batz is much less fun then Emo Spidey)

It ends solidly but the path it takes to get there neuters the payoff.

Forever is the worst Burtonverse Batman

It would be interesting to see how many people consider the new Justice League/BvS "Batman" films to be better or worse than the Joel Schumacher Batman films in the 90s.

The Nolan films were all quite good, the first two were excellent.

Say what you will about the Schumacher movies, but they knew what they were aiming for, and filled those movies with camp and cheese. That's why I can never truly hate them.

The problem is that as long and unwieldy as Rises is, I love Tom Hardy as Bane.
I think that sums up my feelings on the Nolan Batman movies. For every silly, overly self-serious nonsensical scene, you've got Scarecrow, Joker and Bane chewing up the scenery.
