Ron78 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I would say these are easily the best 3 DC comics movies made to date but one is often more highly rated over the others than it deserves to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Batman Begins by far. It's crisp and entertaining. TDK is bloated, mean and highly overrated but it is a good movie. TDKR is flat-out awful. One of the most tedious theater experiences I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Definitely Dark Knight. 1 and 3 are both really good but 2 was outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought TDKR was the best of the three. Tom Hardy's Bane was the most well-conceived villain in the saga (e.g., tying him into the League of Shadows).

Riggo#44 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 The Dark Knight was an epic masterpiece and one of my favorite films of all time. The Joker elicited real tension whenever he was on screen. His self-description to Harvey in the hospital was dead-on. Batman Begins was good, DKR was third, but altogether a fantastic trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Went Dark Knight. From the opening bank robbery scene, you could tell that this was a different Batman movie. Ledger's joker is one of the all time best villains. I like TDKR second because I thought Bane's character was very well fleshed out and the scope of the movie is incredible. Batman Begins was good but not great for me. Scarecrow as a villain was simply meh. The back story doesn't hold my interest very well. There is not another superhero movie that stacks up to the second and third Nolan Batman movies though. Easily the best superhero movies out there. I'd go so far to not even call him superhero movies, just simply incredible epic action films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatBuzz Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I had trouble getting into the whole series. Christian Bale is no Adam West. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To both DC and Marvel producers, Superman:The Movie is still the holy grail of super hero movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEANDWARF Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 For me it has to be The Dark Knight. But sadly it is bittersweet considering Heath Ledger died after filming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 TDK. I actually think Batman Begins is a little overrated, honestly. It's decent. TDKR is solid as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Wars is dated if you compare it to The Force Awakens. Superman:The Movie will always be the movie that started it all and like Star Wars, it was a huge deal. That's why it's revered by both DC and Marvel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man of Steel is a good sci-fi movie about an alien living among us. Its a terrible Superman movie though. Should have been titled The Kryptonian or The Last Son of Krypton.

JCB Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I thought the first third of Man of Steel was excellent, but for me it sputtered after that. Of the Batman trilogy, I'd vote for TDK by a healthy margin. I first saw it about 6-8 months after release, and was fully expecting to be let down given how much hype I'd heard. Blown away. I thought the third one was a hot mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 They could have trimmed 45 minutes from each and they all would have been better. #2 was probably the weakest except for that Heath Ledger turned in a masterpiece. #3 could've used less Catwoman and more Alfred. Tom Hardy is the man. Chrisitan Bale's mouthbreathing is comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Batman begins was really solid. TDK was fun but was about 40 minutes too long. TDKR is one of the most overrated films in recent memory, in terms of my expectations. It sucked. Batman is about cool gadgets. Nobody wants to see redundant hand to hand combat scenes and Cat Woman's plot line was stupid. All it was was a bunch of dudes punching each other. Bleh. Man of Steel is a flaming piece of ****.

DogofWar1 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 TDK #1. A tiny bit long but everytime I watch Imit I don't want it to end. Superb. TDKR #2 and BB not far behind. Both are flawed but still very good imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Dark Knight Rises has a few things that really bother me. 1) When the cops and robbers are having a huge war in the street, it's ALL stand-up 1 on 1 fist fighting where nobody falls down. It's literally like hundreds of Rocky-style fights going on. 2) I can barely understand Bane. To this day, most of the crap he says sounds like "WershWershyWershWersh." 3) I still haven't remembered/learned how Bane is impervious to haymakers wrecking him upside his head and unprotected face. Exposed arms and neck, but somehow he takes everything Batman can give him. My theory is that his mask is pumping in PCP. Otherwise I like the movie. Lol. It'd be my favorite, but DK edges it. Batman Begins is mah jam too. Hanz Zimmer's scores for the movies are my favorite aspect of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozo the kKklown Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 The Dark Knight, easily The Dark Knight Rises was a film with enormous plot holes like getting a knee brace that heals head injuries, breaking your back and healing in a gulog, and then entering back into Gotham City in 24 hours after being in said gulog. Bane being a great villain was destroyed by him bring killed by Cat Woman and not being the strongest villain in the film. IT was not a good film in hindsight. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are clearly top 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
