While [i]"The Dark Knight"[/i] remains my favourite movie of all time (followed closely by [i]"The Empire Strikes Back"[/i]), I must say that [i]"The Dark Knight Rises"[/i] is a much better Batman film.
What are your thoughts? Which one is your favourite?

The Dark Knight. BB just felt strange. Liam Neeson was good as always but him being the villain was strange and the lack of closure for Scarecrow pissed me off. They only closed it up in the beginning of the Dark Knight(which left me feeling cheated) and gave him a cameo in TDKR. Bane was a great villain but he death was sh*t. So was Talia's. Although the showdown in the streets was pretty badass. But TDK could''ve been the ending and it would've been better for it. TDKR was good but had problems that kept it from being great. Bane and Talia's deaths, the pacing problems, Bruce going through the same character arc twice(not to mention the plothole with that robotic leg of his), and the forced romance between Bruce and Selina at the end. TDK had Joker, who was simultaneously funny and terrifying, and Two Face and their stories worked. How they got rid of the Joker sucked though. Overall though the trilogy does a sh*tty job with character send offs and deaths. They're good movies but have too many problems and plotholes that keep them from being truly great in my eyes.
