For those who have seen the three Nolan/Bale Batman movies, what are your picks for the following questions?

Which is the best movie of the series?
Which had the best villain?
Which villain had the best master plan?
In which movie was Batman the coolest?
Ra's al Ghoul vs. The Joker vs. Bane. Who wins?

For me, it'd go like this:
Batman Begins. Loved it. It's the ultimate origin story for a movie and just nails so many aspects of the Batman mythos perfectly.

The Joker. All three were amazing but Heath Ledger's Joker is an all time classic.

Bane. It was so intricate, so detailed that I had to watch Dark Knight Rises two or three times to fully get it. Again, all three were great, but Bane's took the cake.

"DKR" Batman. His loss to Bane and his way back, both from being broken and from being out of action for so long physically and emotionally, was incredible.

Bane. I think he wins this one clean.
 
Nothing beats the first few seasons of Batman the Animated series best version of Batman in any medium

That whole charactor redesign stuff not withstanding though I think Poison Ivy came out nicely the second time around
 
I'm a big Nolan / Batman fan and have been asking myself these questions for a while... my mind is often changing the more I watch it, all 3 I love dearly but here are my answers.

Which is the best movie of the series?
Dark Knight. I still remember being shocked by Rachel's death. I really appreciated how dark it went. Plus, some of the action scenes were terrific: the hospital scene, the bank opening. I also quite liked the Harvey Dent storyline also

Which had the best villain?
The Joker. I'm a sucker for villians with personality and wack fashion taste plus psychology, it was fascinating

Which villain had the best master plan?
Bane for its complexities.

In which movie was Batman the coolest?
Agree with everything you wrote about Batman in DKR. Bale and Nolan really did wonders for that iconic character.

Ra's al Ghoul vs. The Joker vs. Bane. Who wins?
Bane. He had more firepower and resources, plus he seemed to have grasp and control on a situation. He managed to get characters such as Scarecrow (who I think is an awesome character) to play a part in his anarchy and politics.
 
From the Nolan stuff only, yeah?

Which is the best movie of the series?
The Dark Knight. I don't really know why, I just enjoyed it the most.

Which had the best villain?
Joker was my favourite. I have a love/hate thing going on with The Joker.

Which villain had the best master plan?
Probably Bane in terms of what was most likely to work but I think Joker's plans of just messing everything up were my favourite 😛

In which movie was Batman the coolest?
TDKR I guess.

Ra's al Ghul vs. The Joker vs. Bane. Who wins?
In these movies I'd say Bane, but if we go from all of Batman stuff I'd say my money is on Ra's.
 
Which is the best movie of the series?
Hard to say. If you watch them all in a row, I'd say The Dark Knight Rises because it's just a great ending to this amazing story. As individual movies? I guess Batman Begins.

Which had the best villain?
The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger was great, although I think that Jack Nicholson's Joker is even better.

Which villain had the best master plan?
Not Ra's al Ghul. This microwave transmitter thing would blow up every human that comes close to it, since humans are about 60% water.

In which movie was Batman the coolest?
Batman Begins, because it was the beginning.

Ra's al Ghoul vs. The Joker vs. Bane. Who wins?
In a fist fight? Ra's al Ghul or Bane... tough call.
 
The second flim is by far my fav best action best story that flim take you on a ride.

Anne Hathaway as Catwoman really works for me possabley my fav charactor besides Lusious Fox
 
Which is the best movie of the series?
The Dark Knight.

Which had the best villain?

The Joker or Ra's al Ghoul

Which villain had the best master plan?

Ra's overall simply because his plan spans centuries and it's a goal I think we can all agree with to some extent. A better world, it's his methods that are misguided, but the same could be said of Bruce Wayne. The Joker is great, but his plans are minor compared to Ra's's. The Joker seeks to defeat Batman or at least make Batman realize the Joker is a twisted reflection of himself. Ra's seeks to remake the world. He is a man with the most noble of intentions, but his methods are so very wrong you have to oppose him. Oh,and if we are only talking movies Ra's still beats Bane, because Bane's plane wasn't Bane's plan. Bane was a pawn of Talia who was seeking to carry on her father's work.

In which movie was Batman the coolest?

Dark Knight.

Ra's al Ghoul vs. The Joker vs. Bane. Who wins?

Ra's Al Ghoul. The Joker isn't a good fighter hands to hands so he'd lose. Bane is strong, but Ra's is a genius, the leader of the Society of Assassins, and has a 1000 years of experience. Ra's takes it. I'm going by the comics here not just the movies.

I LOVED the dark knight rises! Banes story was so sad and unexpected, really got to me. And Cat woman was beyond cool.

Which had the best villain?
If cat woman counts as a villain - dark knight rises!

Which villain had the best master plan?
The joker in dark knight, the thing with the boat and the girl and yadayada. So schemy!

In which movie was Batman the coolest?
DKR!

Ra's al Ghoul vs. The Joker vs. Bane. Who wins?
Ra's al Ghoul. He was one scary person.

Which is the best movie of the series?
Batman: The Dark Knight. It's an intricate and intoxicating rollercoaster and I loved every single second of it , except for Maggie. Ugh.

Which had the best villain?
The Joker. Creepy and brilliant.

In which movie was Batman the coolest?
Uhm..I think Christian Bale gives Batman a high coolness factor in every movie. I'd say the first movie, Batman Begins..where it all starts. And when there's Katie Holmes 🙂

Ra's al Ghoul vs. The Joker vs. Bane. Who wins?
Uh, The Joker...DUH.
 
Which is the best movie of the series? My favorite is The Dark Knight Rises. But the best cinematically is probably The Dark Knight.
Which had the best villain? The Dark Knight, hands down. Nothing beats Heath Ledgers Joker.
Which villain had the best master plan? I dont know I liked Banes because it really reminded me of the No Man's Land storyline from the comics which is one of my favorites. So I'll go with bane.
In which movie was Batman the coolest? The Dark Knight Rises. I didnt grow to like Bale as batman until that one.
Ra's al Ghoul vs. The Joker vs. Bane. Who wins? Joker. Thats not even a question. I was not fond of this protrayal of Ra's al Ghul.
