I fukking hate Dark Knight Rises...but those first movies bulldoze Iron Man as a trilogy. All due respect to Iron Man 1 but this isn't a competition trilogy for trilogy. And I say this as a Marvel stan. Begins and TDK...nah.
Now if you wanna go Cap trilogy vs Batman, that's a convo.
When the only series of movies in the MCU to get hype about is
Cap
Cap trilogy is better than Dark Knight trilogy
I have Dark Knight trilogy vs Cap trilogy as a split decision draw.
Begins beats First Avenger
TDK and Winter Soldier are tied
Civil War beats TDKR
Rating the films for me:
Iron Man 1 - 9
Iron Man 2 - 6.5
Iron Man 3 - 4
Batman Begins - 8
The Dark Knight - 10 when it dropped, but years later I'm giving it an 8. I fear this movie isn't aging well.
The Dark Knight Rises - 3
