Movies Which is better: Batman Begins vs The Dark Knight

Batman Begins is the better Batman movie.

The Dark Knight is the better movie. It stood out because of Heath Ledger's impeccable performance, but Batman's really just the supporting cast.
 
Begins pacing is awesome

TDK is too long with the pointless boat sequence
 
TDK is too long, the Two Face sub-plot was unnecessary (I understand it set some things up for TDKR but they could have done it differently). Probably could have cut the film by a good 20 minutes without losing anything.
 
I enjoyed Dark Knight more, because of the Detective element being better and of course The Joker. My gripe is that it feels wayyy to long and as a result the Two Face subplot felt rushed. And I hate Bales Bat Voice :mad:
 
Both are fine. But If I had to watch one again it'd be the DK. I loved Nolan's harrowing soundtrack in this one. Bale's batvoice......what were they all thinking with that one? Was everyone just scared of him? Nolan always seemed like kind of a bitchey twat.
 
TDK

Because there is really is no scenario in recent times where Bats vs anyone else can even compete with Bats vs Joker.

It's the most iconic comic book rivalry of all times...
 
I prefer Batman Begins. But both are 10/10.
 
TDK is too long, the Two Face sub-plot was unnecessary (I understand it set some things up for TDKR but they could have done it differently). Probably could have cut the film by a good 20 minutes without losing anything.

My only complaint with that movie. Never should have don’t the two face sub plot.
 
I love origin stories and Begins was an epic one. I enjoyed the story a tad more. TDK however was slightly more entertaining and still managed to have a good enough story and a better villain. Overall, it was the better of the two.
 
I saw Dark Knight in the theaters and thought it was fine.

I watched it on DVD months later for no particular reason. After it was over, I pressed 1 on my remote to start the movie again. For some reason, it became one of my favorites.

Begins was good but the villain is a bit underwhelming
 
The Dark Knight

I’ve only rewatched Begins and Rises a couple of times.
