The original Batman movie if I was forced to pick. But out of those two options then I would pick Batman Begins since the end of The Dark Knight was bull shit.
Batman Begins is a better film out of the two. The dark knight is just as fun, but the story isnt told as well, as its overly complicated in its themes and doesnt set them up very well.
Batman Begins is a "Batman Movie". It feels like a Batman movie. The art direction, the sets and locations they chose for Gotham, the villain(s), everything feels like it came out of a comic book.
The Dark Knight is a crime drama that just happens to have characters from the Batman universe in it. Hell, Batman's only in about a third of the movie. I like both, but they are completely different kinds of films and it's not fair to compare them.
I love them both dearly but my pick would be The Dark Knight. Let's hope The Dark Knight Rises retains the level of brilliance that the previous two films had so that Nolan will leave his Batman legacy on a high note.

I agree after having just watched the Dark Knight again.
I can't wait for The Dark Knight Rises.

Always good for a laugh I see.
What's funny about knowing about film? Come back to Chris Nolan once you've seen more than whatever shit is in your local multiplex this weekend and maybe you'll stop wowing over the generic.

You're so cute when you're all anti-conformist <3 Also, no offence intended but... why are you still here? Seriously, it seems you only linger around until some movie talk is brought up, and you're already well seated in screened at this point; I'd always figure you'd simply start hang where there's bound to be much more like-minded folkingtons, instead of a forum dedicated to a hobby you appear to be long past. Unless you just enjoy pissing on everyone's bonfire around here... which, hey, is certainly understandable, I guess.

There's so much Handsome in this quote hierarchy that I can barely contain thyself.

I'm not anti-conformist, I just don't get the big deal around Chris Nolan. Insomnia, Memento and The Prestige are all great, but he's a really poor action director so when I see people all hot and bothered over The Dark Knight, or worse, Inception, I feel the need to bonfire piss in an increasingly vain attempt to see what's good about them and I have yet to get any answers that tell me more than that person has only ever gone to see movies advertised on IGN.
Screened was good, but then guys like Le_Samourai and Yuri I'm-not-even-going-to-try-and-spell-the-surname kind of stopped posting and now it just seems to be talk of shitty horror films and what is everyone's favourite Quentin Tarantino movie. It's a shame because while Alex tries way too hard, Rorie and his commitment to the community is full of potential.

I'm changing my username across all sites once I find the right one. The word Handsome will not be in it. It has been tainted.
The Dark Knight I prefer film wise, but as others have said, Batman Begins is perhaps the better Batman film as it focuses much more on Batman compared to the Dark Kinght (which looks a lot at the Joker and the organised criminal aspect of Gotham City).

No one could seriously think that their statement is valid when they're making baseless assertions about what others do. Worse, what others do in the privacy of their homes. Even worse, when they're making assertions about people they don't know and have no contact with outside of an online forum. Or making a statement, which they pass off as definitive, that is only backed up with their own personal conjecture after stating that they have some knowledge in regard to "knowing about film".
Even better, when they state that movies (all movies) in the cinema are definitively "shit" without having seen them (Even the movies like Melancholia that are well received (not only by critics)) are not separated from the alleged "shit".
