I'm not here for TLOTR, I only saw the first one and thought it was so damn long and a little bit boring (the effects were TOTALLY AWESOME) but I prefer TDK
This ain't even fair. LOTR by far. I actually re-watched the LOTR trilogy recently, it's amazing how it remains unaged and still as epic and enjoyable after a decade.
I liked Batman Begins, loved The Dark Knight, but lbr The Dark Knight Rises sucked.
A more apt comparison would be the Spider-Man Trilogy vs the Batman trilogy or The LOTR mythos vs A Song of Fire and Ice. This thread is going to be purely judged based on personal preference in the genre, both films set out to accomplish entirely different things.
