Having recently seen the first trilogy among Nolan's works, I wonder what opinions you hold about the movies in general. Seeing that I'm quite late to the party, I expect some strong and mature takes in the comments, but you are still free to voice any opinion you may have.

I'm an admitted Nolan fan boy. I loved the first 2 when they first came out but the third was pretty shaky. Given the entire story shift due to Ledger's passing though, I thought it was an ok pivot overall. I would have loved to see the Joker story to its original conclusion though.

On rewatches years later, the first one is still good but I don't feel it's held up nearly as well as Dark Knight. I still absolutely adore that one, but Ledger did do a lot of heavy lifting. I rewatched the third recently and it just struggles to hold up. The tone shift from the first 2 is jarring and I honestly feel like Levitt was wasted as a potential Robin. The third movie could have been used as his introduction with a different villain rather than Bane, possibly Harley Quinn stepping up to fill Joker's shoes.
