Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight', the middle film in the director's trilogy of Batman movies, remains the best film of those three, the best Batman movie of all time, and the best film that Nolan has ever directed.
Released 10 years ago, 'The Dark Knight Rises' might not be as highly regarded as its 2008 predecessor, but its still a very good superhero film and easily better than every one that followed.
