I watched the 3rd film last night, holy crap it was good. I don't know what others have been smoking, that was an excellent movie. Bane was a scary ass dude, he seemed undefeatable. The movie had a perfect ending as well.
Forget Star Wars
F[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]ck Harry Potter
Lord of the Rings, meh
These 3 movies made an amazing trilogy. It's very clear there will be more, but Nolan will just be an exec producer.
The cast were amazing, even the cheesy Selina Kyle character.
This couldn't have gone in the TDKR thread?
And no, there won't be more. A reboot is already planned for 2016 that is not going to be part of the same series.
this "Trilogy" is nowhere near the first Star Wars or Lord of the Rings IMO.
But it would have been had TDKR had not of been a pile of poop (IMO). Batman Begins and TDK are right there though and I would say TDK as a stand alone is probably the best movie out of them all. The Fellowship of the Ring though... damn that's near impossible to beat.

No - because I'm an attention whore.
Who says that? I can totally see them adding on to this series.
The third one was good, but I felt the ending was rushed. Also a lot of things didn't make sense as the story was rather scattered. It was entertaining, I liked it, but I don't think it was near TDK.

I also remember reading in the past that part of the agreement for Nolan to consult on the Batman reboot is that the studios leave his trilogy alone and don't build on it.
Personally The Dark Knight Trilogy is my favorite trilogy I've watched ever. I like Star Wars, but never got into it hardcore. It's just comes down to personal tastes.
I was okay with the ending.
I'm looking forward to see what Synder and Nolan do with Superman with Man of Steel. The treaser trailer gave me slight goosebumps.

Dark Knight Trilogy is definitely my favorite where there are only 3 movies. But Dark Knight and the first 3 Alien movies are close for me if only looking at the first 3 in any series.
If I had to rank the individual movies:
Aliens
Dark Knight
Alien
Batman Begins
Dark Knight Rises
Alien 3

I hope they don't make a Justice League movie. It will be shit. The Justice League is terrible - Batman is best working alone, and so is Superman. Why would Superman need to work with anyone. Wanting a Justice League movie to come out is akin to rooting for the Miami Heat, but worse.
I will not watch this movie if they attempt to make it. The Nolan series would be much better, Gordon-Lovitt as Batman, but he starts killing people, unlike Bruce Wayne. Bruce would have to come back, it could be awesome. The y couldn't have the Joker, but they could have the Penguin, Riddler, and Poison Ivy. Heck, they could even re-launch Bane (who says he's dead).

It's unfortunate that they'll be rebooting the series soon....I'd just make JGL batman and carry on from the end of TDKR to at least have some continuity and familiarity. Man of Steel does look good though.

I agree. All these remakes drive me nuts. Will not watch Spiderman.

Pfft, movie was amazing. It was wrapped up a little too quickly, but hey, it was already like 2h20m long.
For me I would rank them like this:
1. Dark Knight
2. Dark Knight Rises (best acting job by Bale out of the 3)
3. Batman Begins
Bale's pro wrestling voice as Batman brings it down a notch...

Remakes in comic book movies don't bother me as much because comics themselves are rebooted all the time. However, I don't want to see origins remade over and over, which is something the new Spiderman movie does. The second half of the new Spiderman was pretty good once it got into a new story and not just a rehash of what we have already seen.

I couldn't believe they remade it so quickly, it's such a slap in the face to all the people that worked on those first 3 Spiderman movies.

LOL. Squeeze the cash cow,
I feel most people are turned off from watching The Amazing Spiderman because it's too soon. At least with Batman Begins they gave it almost a decade between the last Batman movie. When previews for The Amazing Spiderman came out most ignorant people were like, "Where is Toby Maguire?" thinking it was part of the previous trilogies.
At least 20 years should pass before you even think about making a remake. Let the landscape change, the culture to evolve, technology to advance. The story becomes new, yet familiar. Otherwise, what's the point (aside from making money)?

Not only was it too soon, but the movie isn't good.
With Batman Begins you have a movie that is vastly superior to the last Batman movie and potentially the entire Batman franchise to that point.
I would say Amazing Spiderman was only marginally better than Spiderman 3, which was a horrible movie and ruined Sam Raimi's entire trilogy. However Spiderman and Spiderman 2 are both easily better films than Amazing Spiderman.

I agree. The Spiderman and Superman films make me mad. The only redeeming feature for Superman is that Nolan is involved, so it will probably be good. I like his gritty style.
I would really like to point out again how well Bale acted in DKR. Bane also did well acting with his eyes. He was able to show lunacy with his eyes, very calculated looks.

I was worried that Batman Begins wouldn't be able to match up with Batman or Batman Returns, it blew them both out of the water, and they were good films in their time.
we have a new dark knight thread? Whatever.
They should just continue nolan's story/universe. There's no need for another pointless reboot and they spent so much time and effort into building the backstory and arc of 'robin'. The reason that begins was necessary was that schumacher had botched the franchise so badly that the only solution was to throw a grenade in that sumbich and start from scratch.
But people overwhelmingly approved of nolan's vision and they made piles of cash. Why fix something that ain't broke, especially since wayne is alive and well, chilling with his new girlfriend. You could even take some elements from the comics and do batman incorporated mixed with the prodigal son storyline. 'robin' takes on the mantle and the audience is informed that wayne is travelling the globe setting up his own league of shadows like syndicate (obviously to help people not to kill them off) then at the end have the big climax be him returning to gotham. Nice way to continue the bat franchise and also possibly set up a nightwing storyline for jgl.
But no... Let's see batman begins redux for no reason.

I don't even count Superman Returns as a movie. While I was interesting to see how they would possibly portray Superman through CGI and newer filming, I don't even pay attention to it. I never was really a fan of the original Superman movies. So I'm looking forward to something that will do Superman justice.
They should definitely keep continuity with Nolan's Batman. Superhero movies are lame a lot of the time because we've all seen/heard their origin story 100 times. More interesting things can be done with the character if you don't have to reboot the origin every couple years.

If you continue with Nolan's version, you have to leave Bruce Wayne out of it.
TDKR was a very happy ending. You canot pull someone back in with that kind of ending.

if wayne had died then yeah you oviously couldn't bring him back, but his final scene was him having drinks with catwoman in france...
What's he going to do for the rest of his life. Bruce wayne can't live without batman. If anything, bruce wayne is the disguise (as 'robin' pointed out). He'd just go back to being a crazy, crippled hermit.

What doesn't make sense about that is who is going to train Robin? His background is being a cop. Would be one thing if Bruce Wayne trained him, but I don't think I could buy this average cop all of a sudden being able to kick everyone's ass at the same time all the time.
I don't think these trilogies should really be compared. The Dark Knight were all largely independent each other with only a few storylines carrying over from one movie to the next. Star Wars and LOTR are like 9 hour movies broken into 3.

Bruce would train him for sure. Robin starts killing bad guys, Batman comes back, and they become Batman and Robin.

Sorry guys.
Get back to me once you see it. Just don't go in with Dark Knight expectations, judge it for a film in itself. Amazing work, intense fight scenes.
I reviewed the film with a cartoon that I drew in the other thread. I won't be obnoxious and repost - go here to see it:

Wayne can definitely come back, you think Catwoman is gonna play housewife the rest of her life and Batman didn't save the city to leave it up for grab.

I thought it was wrapped up just fine. It was 2h45m, anything more would have made the movie drag out way longer than necessary. I thought it was the rare great movies that did things perfectly.
The film had something like 20-30 minutes of footage edited out.
Hopefully, the extended cut is released. TDKR did feel slightly disjointed so maybe the extra footage would help.

I'm eager to see the footage of young Bane, and the mask he used then.
