I thought the first batman was good not great, but TDK is one of the most successful movies of all time. I'm not really sure what your argument could be?
It ends with the joker being detained by SWAT and batman saving gordons son from dent...who died after the fall. Then batman runs from the police.
Thanks for posting your ending summation.

When did the batman foil the jokers plot? I remember the two ferries deciding not to blow each other up
Yeah that's a good point except that you just said this a page ago.
I still dont remember how he "lived". I remember him blowing himself out of jail...thats about it. The third act of "TDK" was un-needed "Two-face" garbage.
How do you remember the ferries when you JUST SAID that you don't remember anything from the 3rd act after Joker blew himself out of jail.
Thanks for playing. Good to know you'll always be my jizz rag.

No way.
Ask someone. See for yourself. Ask someone who isnt a nolanite how "The Dark Knight" ended.
See if they remember.
The reason is because it was a big sloppy mess. I think it was you who said "Batman saved gordon's son from dent and ran off and the joker was taken away by swat".
Thats a pretty confusing ending. Whos gordon's son? Why did batman run off? SWAT captured the Joker? Batman didnt do it?

Nonsense. You just mentioned the protagonist and villain in each respective film.
TDK wasnt about the Gordon's son. Harvey dent wasnt the films "main" villain. Why does Batman "Run away"? Thats completely different from the rest of the film.
The joker was "Saved" by batman and taken away by swat? Which one? And Dent dies by "falling off"?

Then you dont understand what a "scene" is. :lol
A scene involves characters interacting.
Nolan might have cut back and forth between the two scenes, but I dont see how remembering the scene where the two ferries decide NOT to blow each other up implies I MUST remember the scene where batman "Save" the Joker.
I probably dont remember the batman/joker "saving" because the scene on the ferries was so absurd it overshadows anything else Nolan was trying to do. Nolan got overly preachy and created a moment where I actually said "this is fucking stupid" in the theater. No parents with children would committ mass suicide rather than blow up a boat of convicts and vice verca.
Nolan got preachy and the third act was poorly done. I have no idea what anyone means by "Batman saving the Joker", nor do i care.

Nonsense. Each one of those characters and scenes was vital to ending the central conflict of the entire film.
What is the central conflict of "The Dark Knight"? I would say its "Batman and friends fight the Joker and organized crime".
So what does that have to do with Gordon's SON? How does Batman fighting Dent resolve the central conflict of the film? Where the fuck's the joker?
Oh, I know. Its just a stupid GIMMICK to try and create drama/suspense because the Harvey Dent 180 "heel turn" was so poorly done. A fight of batman versus harvey dent at the end is an incredible let down considering the villain of the film is, you know, THE JOKER. Plus, we had been watching Batman fight the Joker for two hours already so its incredibly foolish to throw together a batman/dent conflict in the span of twenty minutes and expect the audience to actually give a shit. So Nolan throws in a KID and has Harvey Dent become a potential child murderer to try and build suspense. And nolanites eat it up! You guys really are fucking stupid. :lol
So what happened to the Joker? He was saved by batman? Dont remember that. I sure as hell remember Jack Nicholson's joker falling to his death from the helicopter ladder and I havent seen that film in over a decade. Nicholson's face as his forearms lose strength and he falls step-by-step down the ladder is an extremely memorable ending. Compare that to HOWEVER the Joker and "scarecrow" respective conflicts were resolved. You could offer me a MILLION dollars and I couldnt tell you what happened to ScareCrow in "Batman Begins". I was actually surprised he had a cameo in "The Dark Knight".
"Oh...he didnt die in the first one?!!""
My exercise of having YOU explain these respective ending further showed my point. Nolan gets over-zealous and creates "second endings" where a new villain and conflict is introduced and each respective film suffers. Your descriptions of the endings include characters and conflicts that are thrown together at the end of the film that most people wont remember.
Again, I challenge to ask some people who have seen the film. How did the joker die/not-die. How did the scarecrow die/not-die. See if they remember.
They probably wont because Nolan's a shitty writer.

Wow I never should've said batman saves joker...it's all this fucking dude can talk about and he's taking it extremely out of context. It's not like the joker was being ambushed and the batman rescued him. He throws the joker off the building but instead of letting him hit the ground he let's him hang in midair allowing him to be arrested instead. This is when the joker tells him what he has done to dent.
And gordons son comes into the equation because dent blames Gordon for rachaels death and now he wants him to know the feeling of losing the person he loves the most. It's not like it was completely out of the blue just for shits and giggles.

Saw it a second time last night... as a superhero movie, it was great.
If we're going to hold it to the standard of the all-time great movies then it falls short.
Way too many characters to invest time into. Batman and Bane should've been the primary focus but instead we're also led to follow Officer Blake, the Commissioner, Miranda, Foley, and Catwoman and it really brings all the characters to a level where we know all of their motives but never enough to become emotionally invested. No one's fate comes off as having any kind of impact. None of the characters seem human. Everyone has a poetic vocabulary, all the time.
It also seems kind of awkward to make this a trilogy when there was never an overarching plot throughout all 3 movies. The first two movies were stand alone and then this third one attempted to pretend like there was something planned throughout all three.
Heath would've been in this movie for sure if he hadn't passed away. Nolan includes every single character from the previous movies so the Joker's absence is obvious.

I dunno... I wasn't at all. Batman took the bomb and I didn't really care like I did in similar instances in better movies. I never thought for one second he would die considering Wayne and Fox mentioned the auto-pilot every time they spoke to one another.
Foley wasn't a main character... but for some reason Nolan wanted us to care about him. He was a bigger character than you think in regards to his screen time and yet we gave no fucks when he died.
Blake was a good dynamic character but none of the other characters evolved during this movie. Maybe when Batman decided to not use the rope....? They didn't have enough time.
Reduce the commissioner's screen time greatly since we've had to focus on his stagnent character for three movies with no dynamic revelation and delete Miranda's and Foley's character and we get to use that extra time for Batman, Blake, and Bane.
What was Bane's motive anyways?

I think a lot of people "think" they watched a great movie because they want it to be great.
I had been waiting for Prometheus for over a year and when it came out I was in denial that it was good. I wanted it to be a masterpiece and invoke existential thought... but it just ended up being a collection of jumbled ideas and bad writing. Same with TDKR. It was just an unpolished collection of characters written badly. My sentiments for Prometheus and TDKR are nearly identical and it sucks because I was so sure both movies would deliver.

I dunno... I wasn't at all. Batman took the bomb and I didn't really care like I did in similar instances in better movies. I never thought for one second he would die considering Wayne and Fox mentioned the auto-pilot every time they spoke to one another.
Foley wasn't a main character... but for some reason Nolan wanted us to care about him. He was a bigger character than you think in regards to his screen time and yet we gave no fucks when he died.
Blake was a good dynamic character but none of the other characters evolved during this movie. Maybe when Batman decided to not use the rope....? They didn't have enough time.
Reduce the commissioner's screen time greatly since we've had to focus on his stagnent character for three movies with no dynamic revelation and delete Miranda's and Foley's character and we get to use that extra time for Batman, Blake, and Bane.
What was Bane's motive anyways?
I thought it was easily the worst movie of the three after seeing it twice now.
I liked and felt for all the characters. I don't think they are anywhere near as hollow as you make them out to be.
Catwoman, Gordon, Blake, Bruce, Foley, Alfred, and Talia all were well developed IMO.

I don't know. I was underwhelmed. Easily my least favorite of the three. Bane didn't translate as well into Nolan's ultra realistic world. That mask was obviously meant to do something other than deliver pain meds. Plus I agree that his character was hurt by basically making him a protector/stooge at the end. While it wasn't the fault of anybody working on the film, having Bane empty Arkham instead of the local pen and including the Joker would've made the movie so much better. There are other things I could nitpick about but overall the movie just didn't do much for me.
What I did like was how Bruce Wayne has aged and how the time spent fighting crime has taken a toll on his body.

Bane wasn't just a stooge and The Joker was best left out of the movie entirely.
Saw it for the third fucking time
The music drives the movie, it almost made you care in the parts that the storytelling fell short like climbing out of the pit.
More gripes:
There's too many half-speeches in the beginning and I fucking hate that Robin already knows who Batman is right from the start.
The plane hijacking is still fun to watch but wasn't overall as awesome as Joker's bank scene
Bane's sewer scene is still bad ass, although his mask and voice can be more annoying than not on the big screen. They really should have redesigned Bane more, his movie character's background and physical weaknesses are dumb even for a comic book movie
Too much Pvt Joker, and cutting to his closed eye death looked like something from a B-Movie
Batman's chase and escape was theatrical magnificence, but could of lived without the old cop and his lines "you're in for a show today, son"
Way too many shots of Gotham. The Bat flyer got annoying, only need one shot of people squinting at the cool shiny toy, felt like 3-4
Too many characters to cram in a final part of a trilogy.
When Wayne was rehabbing in the pit and doing situps, was it supposed to be funny when he said he was angry instead of scared? Loved Wayne's few scenes of comedic relief though, like when he knew Catwoman wasn't truly sorry for Wayne's misfortune or when Wayne EMP'd the cameras
Overall unimpressive storytelling
Anne H. is maybe a good Catwoman, but good doesn't cut it when you've got greats like the acting seen in Joker and Bane. Felt like watching a raspy Sandra Bullock in a leather suit. She was closer to Matthew Modine's performance than Tom Hardy: forgettable

that is supposed to reference dialogue between Bruce and Rasa Gul in Batman Begins, where Bruce tells him that he has covered up/buried his guilt and fear with anger. That entire Pit part of the movie is just Bruce coming to face to face with fear again and letting it drive him like it did in Batman Begins.
