Nope. Unfortunately the only two trilogies where each was worthy of each other were the The Lord of the Rings, original Star Wars, Three Colors and Toy Story series.

The Bat trilogy still ranks higher than The Godfather trio, the Spider-man films and definitely the Matrix saga, but not by much.

I am still bummed that they are going to reboot the franchise. While TDKR fell short of being outstanding, the previous two were just perfect. I honestly hope they do something wildly different, like Aronofsky's planned Year One film.

I thought the Dark Knight was just OK, but TDKR was excellent. As for the Godfather, No. 3 wasn't that great, and Coppola should have stopped at 2.

Just because it was a bunch of poor people terrorizing the rich, I didn't feel like they represented all poor people -- just the criminal portion of the poor. It is worth mentioning, after all, that Bane's first move, after blowing up the Steelers, was to release all prisoners from lockup. So, I interpreted the chaos as criminals running wild, with no authorities to keep them in check, while all the sane people (including those who sympathize with Occupy) stayed holed up in their homes.

I think that's pretty much it, despite what I wrote above. =)

The dark knight rises is much better than all the others? so what heath ledger did a good job, however this movie topples it, left me with a wow, whereas the jokers plot left me with a oh this is good, not saying it was rubbish, however for me TDKR was just a perfect story, the fightback was emotional, my disappointment came when the movie ended because i know we will never get a better trilogy than this.

Just stumbled across this that might be of some interest:

May whoever takes over the franchise be as crazy-awesome as Nolan.

I just really hope they go in a vastly new direction. Obviously they have to keep his character as a heir and orphan but his training and beginning should be different. Preferably a little cruder.

It came from a comic so a comic can explain



Yup ... pretty much sums it up

[fernando97echeverria]

^ Exactly my thoughts.

Ok, just saw it today, IMAX style (really, didn't feel that much of a difference but still felt good to watch it on such a big screen).

I feel so sad that the trilogy is over. I wish there was some kind of a device to erase my memories of this one and watch it again. I remember the joy I felt during the early minutes of the movie.

Spoiler: I was kinda confused about the time flow during the movie. Bruce is held imprisoned for nearly three months and doesn't loose his muscular body while eating what looks like a tiny piece of chips a day ?
And the left the Pit (supposedly in the Carribean) and just teleported to Gotham finding everyone he needs ?

Also, the fact that Talia was the villain made the plot a little dull for me. The Joker motivations were hazy ("some people just want to watch the world burn"), and Bane could have been something like that except this time anarchist. But Talia killing 12 million people to avenge her father she didn't like much ? Come on... The movie felt very Dark before that and went kindda childish after that.

All in all, what I remember most is Anne's Catwoman lifting her legs more than my excitement can stand, not to mention every time she drives the Batpod, lifting her magnificent hugged ass a little more than necessary... I think I'm in love now.

Now I wanna know more about Nolan. How he came to direct this ? What was his part in the original screenplay ? Did he offer to WB to make a Batman movie or was the movie planned anyway ? I just love the realistic feel of the movie and the british humour.

Edit : Ok about my last questions, I have an element of response http://www.amazon.com/The-Making-Dar.../dp/1419703692

Opp never mind I posted in the wrong thread.

I am open for a reboot to the Batman franchise as long as we don't need to cover the back story of Bruce Wayne's journey to becoming Batman a second time. The whole point of Batman Begins was to tell this story more fully. There's no need to repeat the same story arc.

I think there is an opportunity to create a new Batman story with a different focus on the character, for example creating a film where he utilises his detective skills more overtly, which hasn't been the main focus as yet for a live-action movie.

It would be a great way to incorporate the villain of the Riddler and make it more of a cat and mouse game between him and Batman with the riddles he concocts for Batman to solve. Jim Carrey's take on the Riddler should not be the approach for that character if he were used again in a Batman movie though.

But to reboot Batman and re-tread the exact same ground is definitely not something I personally would like to see.

Ben Affleck? Sure, why not?
