Batman Begins

I like Batman Begins the best of the trilogy. Aside from... [I]the plot hole.[/I] I just loved its portrayal of Gotham from an artistic standpoint. The Dark Knight was excellent as well, but the pacing was [I]really[/I] weird. It was as if the movie was constantly at its climax. It made for some great suspense, but watching it again is a bit jarring. The Dark Knight Rises was the poorest of the bunch IMO. It's still a good movie, but aside from the plot holes, I have two massive complaints about it: A) Batman isn't in his suit/with his gadgets for more than half an hour in his 2.5 hour finale. I get that we have to make Batman experience a hero's journey again, but come on... it's just... not fun to watch IMO. B) The final battle doesn't take place at night. I'm sorry, I understand that there's a metaphorical "new day for Gotham" message there, but it's simply not Batman to me without a night battle. That's what he is. Nolan tried to paint him as a symbol of hope with this movie, but to me, that's not what Batman is. You're looking for Superman if you want a symbol of hope. Batman is supposed to win his battles by instilling fear in his enemies. He's one with the night. And the final battle should have taken place at night. So Flood, what was your favorite of the Dark Knight trilogy?

  • Batman Begins was by far my favorite one out of the trilogy. After that, The Dark Night Rises, and my least favorite was The Dark Night. Like you said, the pacing was weird. I don't like movies based off pure adrenaline, despite a good performance on the Joker's side, the movie lacked substance.
