Nolan's trilogy is great. Nolan's trilogy is extremely overrated.

Great yet overrated? Brilliant.

It's only overrated if you think they're all-time great movies, which they're not obviously.

They are however, the best comic book character to movie series there is and it's not even close.

Performance-wise Hardy wasn't required to do much. Nicholson's Joker was over appreciated, IMO. Never saw what the big deal was. Bane all the way.

Dark Knight should have been nominated for best picture. It's a joke that it wasn't, and I think that disqualifies the trilogy from being "overrated".

I figured you wouldn't understand. It's ok though.

Joker. Although Bane was great, and I almost agree with Baker that Joker is overrated a bit. Still the best comic book villain role of all time, IMO. Still, he's not as far out front as people make it out to seem.

Obviously? I'll disagree with you there. They are on my list of all-time great movies. As are Memento and Inception.

You would put any of those movies up against the Godfather?

Godfather is overrated.

Yeah, I said it.

Are you asking if they're in my top 10 all time list? Or are you asking me, if someone just asked, what are some of your favorite movies of all time, if I might mention them? Two different questions.

I was putting them in a class of movies, not meant to displace or discredit any other movies.

Bane was great until the city was taken over. Then he just stood around the "courtroom" and was a non factor for like an hour.
