Went to see The Dark Knight Rises again Sunday. It's official, it's my favorite of the three. Batman Begins is a very close second, but Hathaway, Levitt, and overall depth of story push this one to the top. Hathaway's Kyle puts it out of reach.
I also gave The Dark Knight a second look and was much more ok with it than before. I still grew tired of Joker after a while, but I wasn't watching the clock like I was a couple of years ago. I found the hospital scene to be my limit for Joker & Dent (Joker dressed as a nurse, Dent fully revealed). It just doesn't work for me. Too much of both by that point.
I'm more than fine with TDKR and Begins as my go-tos (watched Begins last night, in fact), with an occasional side of TDK. That's a very hefty Batman trilogy\personal canon. I have no desire to see it continued.
