alright.... fuck what i wrote earlier... I didnt read the question correctly.
Yes. I walked out of Batman Begins and said "That was probably as good or better than 75% of The Batman Movies.
I walked out of Dark Knight and said "That is the best movie i have ever seen." (Then the Nolan's top that shit with Inception)
I walked out of Dark Knight Rises and said "GAWD, DAMN that shit was as good as Dark Knight."
The story is so great because they dont make the hero perfect... (falling off roofs in Batman Begins, thinking he can base the peace of the city on Harvey Dent's legend in Dark Knight, getting the living shit beat out of him by Bane), They make the villains believable and not cartoonish. each movie felt like "this is what would have went on in this world if..." I just think the Nolan's put out a great Three part story that will stand up so that if you wacthed it 20 years from now you would still understand that Batman Begins is how you should do an origin story, Heath Ledgers performance in DK is spectatcular, and that Dark Knight Rises is how you bring a story home.
Just to play Devils advocate, Godfather, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars are all fucking great and have many of the same things that this Batman trilogy have. But Godfather 3 is hard to follow and doesn't have the same feel as the other two, Lord of the RIngs wasted 45 minutes of my life trying to end and the story seemed to fall a apart at the end...and Star Wars story is great but the dialouge is fucking atrocious ...and at it's lowest point (Luke getting his hand cutt off) You didnt feel for him as much as when Bane broke Batman's back over his knee and you didn't get the feeling of the hero coming back from that like when Bruce climbed out of that prison, luke just popped up in the next movie with the cyborg fist.
I grow up a marvel fan and i didnt read shit that was DC, and I still have to say that This Batman shit blows away any comic book trilogy and is the bases for the reality based comic movies that everyone is trying to do now.
I enjoyed these movies and i hope this comment comes off coherent.
Batman Begins is a very Good Movie, The Dark Knight breaks down into the scenes without the Joker which are good and the scenes with the Joker which are spectacular. This movie was better eventhough it still had flaws... ( i might have to call on this shit)

I would consider my self a big fan of film and I can honestly I have never been more excited about a set of films in my life. Evey film continued to get better and as the trilogy went on. Chris Nolan is a great film maker Momento is in my top 10 films of all time. I just look forward to buying the Blu ray and watching the bat get broken over and over again.

I saw it the night after the massacre in Aurora. I'll admit: sitting close to the screen and attending with my niece in a blue collar cheese-eating suburban theatre (my brother is so extra sometimes; he picked it because of the gigantic recliners instead of stadium or other seating and its two minutes from his home) made me more "IRL tense" than I've ever been in a movie. He joked that my niece and I were his "vest," a la Nino Brown in "New Jack City!" I was glad my niece reclined all the way back (it made her less of a target, in my mind). It was also pretty rough viewing the scenes of random violence on hapless victims in the movie, knowing similar such REAL random violence has slain a dozen and injured multiples more. Waaay too meta; sheesh. Only afterwards did I feel like I enjoyed the movie and may see it again, given I wasn't emotionally "available" for it (I think about the second movie and how hyped I was throughout). That said? Shout-out to the "twist!"
