Batman Begins is a much better movie than the Dark Knight.
In terms of narrative structure, probably. But I find Dark Knight to be more enjoyable, mostly because Ledger was so excellent in it. And, I think Dark Knight Rises would have been much better if Ledger hadn't died, because I think Nolan had a plan for a Joker follow up that we never got to see. Dark Knight Rises is what happens when a writer / director is forced to make something, rather than truly having a passion for it.
no question that Ledger was awesome, but that movie isn't actually a good movie. It was too big, too bloated, tried to do to much, and frankly aside from Ledger and Bale (and of course Caine) the acting wasn't very good.
