Ranking the Nolan-Bale Batman films

Post Reply New Topic

Here are my rankings for the Nolan/Bale trilogy:

1a. The Dark Knight (10/10)
1b. The Dark Knight Rises (10/10)
3. Batman Begins (9.5/10)

1) The Dark Knight
2) Batman Begins
3) The Dark Knight Rises

Controversial, I know, but Rises is still amazing.

1) The Dark Knight
2) The Dark Knight Rises
3) Batman Begins

After recently watching the entire trilogy twice...


1. The Dark Knight Rises

2. Batman Begins

3. The Dark Knight


They're all 9+ on a 10 scale.

I thought Dark Knight Rises topped 'em all.

Followed by the Dark Knight, and then Batman Begins

Batman Begins
The Dark Knight Rises

i thought they were all amazing films, but i'm kind of biased, as i have massive crushes on both the Joker and Scarecrow.

The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight Rises
Batman Begins

The first two were a close call. I liked the Scarecrow and I somewhat look like the Scarecrow. I get it a lot "You know what, you look like the Scarecrow"

1. The Dark Knight
2. Batman Begins
3. The Dark Knight Rises

The plot for TDKR was way too long to get across.

1. The Dark Knight (8.5/10)

Messy storyline and terrible Batman voice, but has some great performances (e.g. Joker, Two-Face, Gordon, Rachel) and many iconic scenes (e.g. bank heist, interrogation, hospital).

2. Batman Begins (7.5 / 10)

Standard origin story, professionally done. Batman voice not as terrible as it becomes later.

3. The Dark Knight Rises (6/10)

Messy storyline and terrible Batman voice, but has one great performance (Bane) and a few iconic scenes (e.g. prison sequence).

Batman Begins: 9
Dark Knight: 10
Dark Knight Rises: 9.5

All the movies are very good, so it's hard to rate them in a particular order. I think Christian Bale will be remembered for generations because of this trilogy.

Dark Knight Rises: 10/10
Dark Knight: 10/10
Batman Begins: 8.5/10

I don't get why everyone complains about the 'Batman voice'. Its not that bad.

Also while The Dark Knight is probably the best of the three, they are all really good. Batman Begins deserves more credit for getting 'Batman the Detective' better than any other Batman movie has, as opposed to simply only seeing 'Batman the Action Hero'

Also anyone that finds the story for The Dark Knight or The Dark Knight Rises confusing or hard to follow, here is some advice. Never try to read the actual comics. Your head will explode. They are actually fairly straightforward stories in the movies.
