The Dark Knight trilogy even though the first one's name doesn't have the word Dark Knight in it.

Hey all! Thank you all again for helping my blog reach 399 pageviews! So close to the 400 milestone! Now I've just finished watching the The Dark Knight Rises for the third time in IMAX so I can review the entire trilogy right now.For all those who are sick of my superhero fanblogs,don't worry my next post is probably not going to be about superheroes anymore.It's just that I'm a huge fan of Batman so I can't pass this up.No colour coding words for Batman because he's simply too awesome(and he's always wearing black). BATMAN BEGINS: Alright so after the train-crap wreck that was the Batman and Robin(I reviewed it already,check it out!) Christopher Nolan gave the Batman franchise CPR.He made the Batman awesome again. I loved how they showed his parents died and how he trained before becoming Batman(a good chunk of about 40 minutes before he puts on the cape and cowl).It even is believable on how and why Bruce became Batman.How : He's a billionaire. If I had that much money,of course I would buy a Batsuit and car.Why : He's an angry rich kid and if he doesn't have an outlet for his anger,he might go insane. This movie is great,and its helped that they never did the origin story before(the previous films had glimpses,and not a full blown story arc.)The main villain is Ra's al Ghul,NOT Scarecrow.Which is my only complaint,the Scarecrow isn't used much.And when he finally gets on his horse and goes around terrorizing people,Rachel blasts him with a tazer and that's the end of him.THE DARK KNIGHT: This movie is heralded as the Jesus of superhero movies,the genre changer,the movie of the gods.Like the mainstream audience,I do enjoy this film.Its great,Joker's great,and I don't think I have to say much since the whole world already praises it enough. I do have to say,like the Scarecrow,Harvey Two-Face isn't used much.He becomes evil,does stuff and leaves.I like his character,how he changed from the White Knight to child-killer.Joker was great too,making Batman seem kinda useless,not being able to save Rachel or Harvey, and,to an extent,himself since the whole of Gotham thinks he's evil,but I understand,to quote Joker,that Batman and Joker's relationship is like :When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. Before I delve into the third and final movie,I do have to warn you that its a spoiler review,so fair warning. THE DARK KNIGHT RISES: It's set 8 years and Batman's been branded the killer of Harvey. Only Gordon,Alfred and Lucius knows the truth.It's also a good movie,a good end to a legendary trilogy on the Dark Knight. The villain is Bane at first and I wished they kept it that way.Though I enjoyed the twist,it kinda makes Bane just a mercenary taking orders.The twist however further reinforces Ra's al Ghul in Batman lore.Batman also isn't used much,though I don't really care since its a Bruce Wayne story( I do have to admit I got chills when I saw Batman in the Dark Knight Rises for the first time when everyone in the movie kept hyping on how he was gone for 8 years). The brawl between Batman and Bane is awesome! Especially since under Christopher Nolan's realistic vision,there are not many brawls.I do have to say that Scarecrow is,again,underused.His cameo was weak and if he wasn't in it,nothing would change at all.But I suppose there's nothing more for his character and its cool to just have him there,bringing all the previous characters from the trilogy to the final film feels like its bringing it full circle.Robin and Catwoman was cool though. I can't and won't compare this to the other two,especially the Dark Knight since everyone else is doing it for me.I will say this though,they have distinct differences in pacing and all. The Dark Knight's every scene is breath taking and the pacing is insanely fast,where you can hardly come up for a breath of fresh air.In the Dark Knight Rises,you get the feeling that every scene is leading up to a climax.Everything is building to the end. OK guys so that's my review on the trilogy,what do you guys think of the trilogy as a whole? Comment on that and tell me where I can improve below or on my Facebook,Twitter or Google+.
