Having recently seen the first trilogy among Nolan's works, I wonder what opinions you hold about the movies in general. Seeing that I'm quite late to the party, I expect some strong and mature takes in the comments, but you are still free to voice any opinion you may have.

I've only seen the one with Bane, and I thought it sucked.

It felt like Bane beat Batman for no reason, and Batman just had to overcome a pointless trial where he learned nothing, to create a manufactured darkest hour. I didn't feel like Batman ideologically bested Bane, and ideology is important to Me.

My favourite Batman bossfight is Terry McGinnis beating the Joker in Batman Beyond. Terry is a gen alpha kid who grew up on 67 and Skibidi Toilet. Terry knows funny. And the Joker isn't funny. The Joker can't stand being the butt of the joke, he can't stand being vulnerable. Vulnerability is the key to all great comedy, and the Joker can't do it. Terry defeats the Joker by out-funnying the Joker. That's meaningful.

I never felt like anything happening in Nolan's Batman had any meaning.
