I'm sorry, I know a lot of people are torn on whether TDK or TDKR is the better movie, but for me, it's easy. While Heath Ledger's joker is incomparable, The Dark Knight Rises as a whole just made me care about the characters so much more, and I feel like the movie as a whole is better for it. What happened to Rachel and other victims in TDK is sad, but isn't all that uncommon in summer blockbusters. This movie actually had me fighting a lump in my throat toward the end. For me, this is a trilogy that get's better with each installment.

Yes it has a couple minor flaws in story flow that the other two didn't, but I cared so much about the characters in this film, where as in the previous two, as good as they were, they were exactly that: characters in a film.

I got really choked up watching this. That hasn't happened in years. And it wasn't because of some cheap sob story moment. It's because the movie made me care that much. There's a difference.
