Default Batman: The Dark Knight Rises

This might even be worth a trip to the theater to see.

Every review I've read said, storywise, you should see the first one (Batman Begins) because of all the callbacks in The Dark Knight Rises.

They're good, Sue. Especially the second, The Dark Knight, with Heath

Saw it tonight. I have a buddy who's a promoter for Warner Bros. It was friggin awesome.

Some stuff you really have to shelve your disbelief on, but a very *enjoyable* movie.
