Watched The Dark Knight Rises for about the millionth time.

It still holds up, and it's still freaking amazing. Except the part where John Blake's real name is Robin. Shoulda been Richard Grayson, but i digress.

Eh, I wasn't the biggest fan of that movie. Pacing was really weird, it took place during the day mostly, and just generally didn't feel very Batman-esque to me.

I still thing Batman Begins was the best one in the series. They freaking nailed Gotham and Batman himself with that one.

Batman Begins was good. I guess the big appeal for me was the underlying message of TDKR. The whole idea of Batman being a symbol. Because even though the status quo is always comforting in comics, I also love the story lines where Dick or Azrael or even Tim are Batman.

I don't mind the person behind Batman changing, because I also love the concept of Batman as a symbol. However, I think that message was just as powerful in the previous two films as it was in TDKR, but the other two films were just better executed.

And it's not really TDKR's fault. I'm positive that Heath Ledger's death really threw a massive wrench into the plans for TDKR, and they did the best they could with what they had left. You watch that movie and you just know that the Joker was supposed to play a major part in it.

I have to watch it every time it comes on. I can't NOT watch it. It's fantastic!

Michael Keaton is still Batman to me.

Dark Knight is still the best of the 3, hell its just a damn good movie. Rises is a fun movie as well, but just not as good.
