Christopher Nolan is terrible. He made one good Batman movie, and it was the one that didn't end with the words "Begins" or "Rises." Also, "Inception" was terrible, just like all his other movies that don't begin with "The Dark" and end with "Knight." Seriously, no one really liked "Memento," they just say they did after they saw "The Dark Knight."

I liked Rises best. Come at me, bro.

Nope, West is best Batman

I liked all 3 of Nolan's Batmans, I liked Inception, and I really, really love the Prestige.

Having said that, "The Dark Knight" is one of the most grossly, disgustingly overrated movies I've ever seen. A great film. But some people have a serious hard on over it, and I don't know why. No, the Joker portrayal is not one of the best all time performances in 5evar. It's good. It doesn't get half the recognition it gets if Ledger is still alive.

All three Nolan Batman films are awesome, and Leger did an amazing job as the Joker. But yes, Conroy is best Batman.

Well, to put in my two cents, I liked all three Batman films (though I preferred Begins and TDK to Rises each for different reasons- to put it simply, Begins did a better job with the hero while TDK did a better job with the villains). I enjoyed Inception, though maybe it gets a little more credit than it deserves. Never watched Memento, though the setup sounds interesting. But the main reason I love Nolan is the Prestige. It's right up there as one of my favorite films of all time for all sorts of reasons.

Also, the Bond thing is pretty simple. Daniel Craig films are an entirely separate continuity and were never meant as anything else. The rest are all the same character, but continuity is very loose outside of the Connery/Lazenby films, which are all closely connected.

So Moore and Dalton and Brosnan are the same character, but it's not really relevant and you're supposed to just ignore the whole "passage of time" thing and enjoy the film (or not).

And rage because there isn't enough rage in here right now.

Batman Begins was boring as hell. It had a few good moments, but overall, it's not even worth watching. The Dark Knight was amazing, the kind of movie you see once, maybe twice in a lifetime. The Dark Knight Rises was painstaking to watch whenever Bane wasn't on the screen, and Batman had about twelve minutes on screen time (as Batman).

Memento was pointlessly confusing like Inception, and The Prestige was the magician movie that was out that year that didn't have Edward Norton in it and when I thought it was The Illusionist, I was disappointed because it was Christian Bale, who is always the same basic character in every movie as he was in American Psycho.
