CMV: the Dark Knight trilogy is much better than the marvel movies.

TDK trilogy was mind blowing. For starters, the cast is exceptional. Batman and all of the villains are portrayed as being more realistic, which makes it much more realistic in a thrilling/horror sense. 

All marvel movies today feel like a cash generated flick. There’s not much depth, especially in the newer ones such as black panther, etc. I get that there’s 18 movies compared to 3, so there’s a lead up to a big movie (infinity war) but even then, the trilogy as a whole was much better than infinity war. 

The obvious exceptional part of TDK cast was heath ledger. There’s just not ANY villains in ANY marvel movie that compare to him. Not even close. He played such a psychopath and his method acting and improvisation was the best I have ever seen in a movie. The make up was amazing as it wasn’t too comical. He PERFECTED the walk, laugh, mindset and everything the joker has to offer.

Tom Hardy was exceptional as Bane. Instead of being the veiny, lab rat that the comic books show, he’s portrayed as a beefy guy that can cause terror, which is realistic and makes it that much scarier. The destruction he caused was amazing. The mask was an awesome touch, although at times his voice was hard to understand the first time around. 

Christian Bale was a good Batman. His voice in the first two movies were meh, but TDKR figured it out to be less raspy so that you could understand him. Overall, he played Bruce Wayne/Batman great and was memorable. 

Don’t get me wrong, I like the marvel movies. Infinity war was a great movie. I love guardians. Maybe I’m inclined to the realism that TDK trilogy presents compared to the extra sci-fi found in the marcel movies, but overall I find the trilogy to have much better depth, acting, and plot.

It’s not exactly fair to compare three movies with a fairly unitary vision produced by one of the truly auteur filmmakers of his generation to ~20 movies by different filmmakers in different genres trying to accomplish different things.    That said, what the MCU has pulled off is frankly more impressive than the Nolan trilogy.  

Great filmmakers produce great movies, and there have been many great filmmakers who made great trilogies.  Nolan applied that to a comic book-based trilogy, but he’s still in the same general artistic space as many of his predecessors.  And, frankly, they don’t hold up as well as they could once you start to scratch at them.  I’ve never heard anyone say “Wow, Batman Begins, what a movie!”   The Dark Knight Rises really doesn’t make that much sense if you think about it too hard.  The Dark Knight is a great film, but that’s still one out of three once you really stare hard at them.

Pulling together a 20+ film universe that is reasonably coherent, consistently at least decent in quality, and often outright really good?  That’s a damn impressive feat that no one else has managed to do before.  Maybe no single MCU film is as good as Dark Knight, but a number of them are at least as good as Batman Begins and some are arguably better than both that and Dark Knight Rises.   Heck, I’d argue that Thor 3’s ability to be serious, epic and still incorporate the absurdity of comic books in a respectful way is a far more interesting take on the genre than just using “dark and gritty” as a stand-in for “deep and realistic.”
