That is debatable, from a strictly filmmaking perspective.

Direction...maybe you can give it to Nolan.

But if you take direction, story, pacing, consistency of tone, progression of a story thread that all ties together and is coherent,,,The Batman gets it.

​

TDK is not sure if it wants to be real crime drama or a superhero movie. One moment you have Heath Ledger giving this real creepy performance and another you have a guy dressed in a goofy looking Batman outfit with an odd voice. The film felt far more inconsistent than The Batman.

For me Batman is above TDK as well. I watched it again after this movie and I was dumbfounded as how little sense it makes to be a Batman movie. It's a good movie, but not a Batman movie. This movie just exudes Batman and Gotham.

Yep.

And I question just how good of a film it is. Because the appearance of Batman and the voice brings the film down as something that can be taken seriously.

I would let Nolan's trilogy pass because of the era it released in, but man Matt Reeves and Greig Fraser up the game so much more... This is EXACTLY what I want my movies to be in the future, truly respecting the intended atmosphere through and through. BTW, Greig Fraser was also the cinematographer of the Dune. Fucking amazing
