Revisiting the Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy (Greatest Thing Ever?)
Folks, I just finished rewatching the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy. I must say I enjoyed it even more this time than the first time that I saw the films. They may be even stronger than Nolan's Memento, and they may be the best Batman films we have yet. My favorite is The Dark Knight Rises, but they're all pretty superb. When Batman Begins first came out, I was a little disappointed that it wasn't more like Batman: Year One (in fact, parts seemed pretty slapstick), but now I'm ready to accept it as a solid introduction to a great series (and we do have the animated Batman: Year One, to satisfy that part of me). For The Dark Knight, we have Heath Ledger's Joker, definitely a phenomenal cinematic achievement. And lets not forget Aaron Eckhart's Two-Face, also pretty great. That film is powerful, and in some ways the hardest hitting of the three. The third is my favorite, and it plays kind of like Batman meets Star Wars, only with Bane thrown in there too. I even like the ambiguous ending. These films are definitely classics, nothing wrong with them at all, really. They will stand the test of time.
