The cap films literally do 1 ASPECT of filmmaking better than Nolan's batman films and that is action. Everything else, Nolan's batman films have them beat. And can we please stop saying TDKR Is a terrible film? Or as bad as TDK Is good? No fukking way man. I agree they fukked some things up in TDKR but Bane was still a fukking dope ass villain for almost the entire film until his demise. The movie is still very entertaining despite its flaws.

Iono Breh. If we were talking about a different kind of movie then the action might be less of a factor.

But we're talking about dudes in costumes going against other dudes in costumes.

A would rather watch dope action scenes without the rest of the movie than watch some kind of drama with weak action.

Ideally your action is within an otherwise dope movie, of course.

I think Nolan's Batman trilogy has a slight edge over Marvel's Captain America trilogy.

The First Avenger wasn't bad at all just really slow in pace of storytelling. The Winter Soldier & Civil War were the best films in the Cap series. Even with those movies combined I still say that TDK trumps both of them. Batman Begins was a great start to rebooting Batman on film after a 8 yr layoff (because the last movie almost destroyed the Batman franchise at WB). TDK will always cbm classic and frankly I just like how Nolan was able to take a comic book character like Batman and put him in a grounded reality based universe without any supernatural vibe to it like what you would see in a Superman movie. TDKR wasn't a bad film but I think Nolan could have used another story arc from the comics to tell the story and they could have found a better actress for Catwoman.

I read on google that the OG idea for Nolan's third Batman movie would have been after capturing Joker he would have went on trial. While during trial, The Joker scars Harvey Dent in the process, then Batman faces off against the Gotham mob, Two-Face, and Joker.

Overall? Nolan's trilogy. Higher quality emotional experience, which is what movies boil down to.

Cap's flicks are better comic book movies and get everything right in that regard. But if we're saying period? the The Dark Knight trilogy.


One franchise being contained and free from continuity restraints has alot to do with it though :mjgrin: less creative parameters helps

Y'all brehs in here trying to place Captain America over Batman are really wilding. :beli:
Got me reading these comments with the :scust: face.


Are you guys really that young? :why:
Do you not remember how The Dark Knight changed...EVERYTHING??
Summer of '08 was there anywhere you could go without seeing the "Why so serious?" tagline???

How many random jackasses didn't run up with a pencil talking about a "magic trick"?
giphy.gif

Heath Ledger transformed himself into the Joker for that role! Breh got so f'd up about it, he killed himself before it came out :damn: :rip: :wow:!!!



Then 4 years later TDKR comes out and the whole country/world gets back on the roller coaster.
You guys really saying The Nolan trilogy was lacking action when one of the biggest criticisms of TDKR was that it was TOO action heavy???

sick fukk massacres 12 people and injures 70 at a premiere on some imitation Joker type shyt.


Bruh, the Nolan trilogy was more than just some entertaining movies. They were and are cultural phenomena, despite their flaws and shortcomings. Those films transcended the medium and had people questioning life and how they rationalize their choices.

Nolan took these films to a place where nikkas can't conceive
To the point where nikkas can't agree which movie is best
And the argument is if he is better than he.
Word to Lupe.

Don't disrespect the gawd, the only worthwhile comparison is the Nolan trilogy to itself.:win:

People let hype of the MCU and action take over there senses of what impact is about. Humanity is more than catering to the lowest common denominator, but people say shyt for shock value, and it failed to eve make me laugh.

Brehs in here got me wondering

When I finished watching the Dark Knight in theaters in 2008, I was :dwillhuh: at life in general. I was thinking about virtually every scene day and night for weeks on end. I couldn't even comprehend the Joker's plans until I watched it a 2nd time, and even then, I was :wow: at how society changed after it was reelased. Especially Halloween 2008 and the presidential election with Obama. It was a surreal timw.

The Nolan trilogy

TDKR is probably at the bottom of all 6 though

I said the Nolan trilogy is better but I kinda hate shyt like this. Yeah, all that shyt had impact at the time but dude that was almost a decade ago, now the movies have to stand on what is just in the movies. How did YOU feel about it not some 'cultural phenomenon, it had mad hype at the time' bullshyt. If you were not alive or paying attention at the time all that shyt means 0. The movies have to stand on their own, period. And they do.
