Showed the girlfriend all three of Nolan's Batman movies this weekend, though I didn't join her for TDKR (already seen it twice)

I gotta say, i think I enjoyed Batman Begins the most. It was the cleanest and most "together" by far. Then again, it was the least "fresh" so that might be affecting my judgement.

Actually finished watching BB yesterday too. I only saw this when it came out in 2005, so it was interesting to see all the similarities between BB and TDKR.

Let's see, I know there are more than this...

+ League of shadows is plotting to destroy Gotham

+ Late reveal of true villain

+ All the police get "incapacitated"

+ All the bridges don't work

+ Batman reveals himself to a key character and then flies away leaving the character to utter, "Bruce....?"

+ Batman doesn't appear til 2nd half of the movie

+ There is large device that will destroy the city

+ Batman says can defeat the villain, but will ask for help from one of his friends and let them ride one of his vehicles.

+ Batman appears to Gordon both times with a ski mask

+ There is a stupid police person in charge that is against Batman (not Gordon, but someone else in power, often using the megaphone)

Jesus Christ, you're right. So many similarities.

three superhero movies on a nice weekend on the city? She must have been thinking to herself how incredibly lucky she is to have you.

what is the next movie coming out of this? I know Nolan and Bale said they are done, but given the ending, is there a Robin movie coming without Batman (that would be awful) or is there a Batman and Robin in the horizon? Will George Takei be the new Batman?

FINALLY saw this tonight, and considering how the "Batman could be anyone" point is continuously hammered home,
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

coupled with the repair of the bat signal, what I got from the end was that Blake was going to become the next Batman. I saw the "Robin" seen as more of a wink to the audience than setting up a spinoff.
