Batman Begins might be the better movie, but The Dark Knight is a game changer. Is Heat meets Batman and there are sequences that are top notch filmmaking for me.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Ledger does a superb role, and the movie is well made, but even in the cinema I found it too predictable. It always does exactly what you would expect. Decent movie all in all.

TDKR is a weird movie. Probably the worst of the actual good ones.

I thought the Harvey Dent storyline was kind of counterintuitive.
Agreed.

Also agreed.

the whole sequence of them getting Joker is oustanding and at the same time, it feels so close to a lot of comics books.
Batman going for Joker, this one shooting him, Gordon coming unexpected...so good.

I still don't understand Gordon's secret plan. Why did he need to pretend to be dead? He knew someone was going to shoot him?

It's not a good one at all. It's one of the worst sequels ever.

Do you think we would view it differently if Steven Seagal were in it?

this is how I feel about it rn
Gotham has no personality, it just feels like any American city; I need much more stylistic filmmaking, give me Gothic and give me Art Deco, give me Reeves!
it's got some great sequences but a LOT of boring corporate drama before we get to them
Heath Ledger runs rings around literally every other actor on set
idk, I'm not a big "action movie" fan, I'm gonna need horror thrown in the mix to be convinced I'm really watching Batman (atm my favourite Bats is "Returns")
I just watched a clip of Paul Dano's Riddler being interrogated and trolling Batman, and I honestly haven't smiled like that since watching vintage X-Files creeps fuck with Mulder

is it just me or is fucking Cillian Murphy as Scarecrow *tragically underutilized* in this franchise?

Danny Devito biting off that guys nose is the pinnacle of the Batman movies.

The editing kills those Nolan movies. Relentless, unnatural. The last time I revisited them I was kind of shocked

Also the cheesy dialogue and Bale's Batman voice.

Why are you spoiling the movie for yourself by watching clips? Please stop!

I had no problem with Bale’s Batman voice, and thought he was a fantastic Bruce Wayne/Batman.
Sitting in the theater now. Pray I don’t fall asleep.
