I am fairly neutral on TDK trilogy. Begins was weak, but they needed a place to start from. Dark Knight was compelling with great dialog driven characters and action scenes. Dark Knight Rises is slow and filled with complex subplots that detracted from the action. The characters never developed and just seemed thrown together without any real motivation or reason to interact other than they were in the same room. Maybe the next reboot of Batman (in three years) will be better...I'm not holding my breath though.
