I think the Dark Knight works because the actions of the Joker are perfect for the character. Yes, Ledger was acting up the place (and improvising some very cinematic scenes, like the clapping in the cell wasn't in the script).
It's Nolan's script and direction that make it a great film.
The less said about Rises the better, they completely fucked up the characters in that one. Bane was some pussy whipped bitch, Batman is wandering around in the day and freaking retires! Alfred leaves Bruce as well. Pretty much the opposite what should have happened.
It's like a Brett Ratner took over the franchise.
I would have made Bane the lead villian, and have him be the kid that left the hole. Batman would have died at the end saving the city, and Robin would have become the new Batman. That would have linked it back to Batman Begins where he said Batman had to be a symbol and more than a man, and passing the torch does that exactly.
Some sort of explanation on how he got back to Gotham with no money and into the city would have been nice. A line of dialogue about hidden funds, and a backup Batcave would have done that.
Ha ha! Who was the Kid that left the hole? I thought it was Bane as a kid? Man I can watch a movie, semi enjoy it and still know nothing
Talia al Ghul, which was the big twist. It turned Bane into just a dumb, pussy whipped henchman.
Yeah essentially he was just that wasn't he ?
And comicbook Bane was awesome, second time he's been made into just the muscle. Last time it was with Poison Ivy. He's the dude that breaks the Bat! Deserves to be a stand alone villian.

Now I need to go to IMDB to see who that was!
The one who fucked Batman.
I need to go watch it again, obviously!

We have 20-odd Marvel films to re-watch before End Game in a few weeks. Who has time?

Both are fine, without being great.

Was Ironman the first Marvel movie? When was that?
Well it's the first film in this Universe, had Marvel films like Blade before that.
But Ironman was 2008 I think.
Yup, where are we at now, end of phase 4??

My mate has been doing this, but he's a tradie who has injured his ribs and can't work at the moment. I think I've watched every movie bar the ones I think are below average (Thor 1&2, Hulk, Iron Man 2) and the two latest at least twice so should be good going into End Game.
Booked into Gold Class on the Friday and got the last two seats.

Speaking about the Joker, this looks freaky...
The first 'Comic Book Hero' flick I've been interested in seeing in years.
This could be epic.
-
@MiketheSnow I'm the opposite, find Phoenix to be sometimes good and sometimes unwatchable and I'm unsure how a solo joker would work without Batman. In saying that it may turn out to be awesome.
-
@Nepia yeah will be interesting to see given he is Batmans nemesis and in some of the DC Universes has played his part ion shaping the Dark Knight, so no Batman...
Assume that was his mum in that scene in the bath...all levels of wrong
-
Finding Steve McQueen
Decent crime caper.
-
@MiketheSnow good seeing Ragnar in a completely different role too
