Greatest super hero movies of all time:

1a. The Dark Knight
1b. Batman Begins

I like them about the same. I love the origin story of Begins. The scenes with him training are awesome. TDK is damn good whenever the joker is involved. From the moment the mob hires the Joker up to the hospital scene is really great stuff.

I just watched Batman Begins. It's a fantastic movie. But The Dark Knight is a lot more fun and more satisfying to watch.

Begins is good but the first act is really slow.

I think the narrative is tighter and it’s a near tie, but Ledger’s Joker just puts it over the edge.

I re-watch Batman Begins more because of the emotional weight of the movie

Neeson’s Ra’s is tGOAT. Their training and the fire scene are perfection

I liked TDK better when it came out, but I find myself rewatching BB more frequently. They are both amazing movies.

+1 one of my issues with TDK is shoehorning two-face into the film. It wasn't needed. Heath's so good that another villain just paled in comparison. It also made the movie longer than it needed to be.

Batman Begins is a legit good movie.

The Dark Knight is among the top 3 all time best superhero movies ever.

We went with a large group to watch TDK and when Gordon and Batman are racing to save Rachel and Harvey one of my friends yells, “don’t save her, she’s not attractive”. The theatre busted out laughing.

Seems like she made a bad choice. Nobody remembers that movie.
