None of the other series were judged as a package, so individual standalone merit should be the rule of thumb. Dark Knight props up the others, just as Empire Strikes Back gives the Star Wars trilogy its center and does the heavy lifting for the arc, IMHO.

I'd still have Batman Begins with Dark Knight in the best DC movies and then move the Dark Knight Rises to just Ok section..

Batman Begins is one the five best Superhero movies of all time, IMO. It’s better than TDK.

Batman Begins is definitely in the "great" category. I don´t think it is better than The Dark Knight, but that´s because I rate TDK very highly.

I´m not trying to start a Marvel vs DC fight, since I love both companies, but looking at this list I can´t help to think that DC´s worst movies are worse than Marvel´s, but their best movies are better than Marvel´s. Marvel has some awesome movies, but they are a lot safer than most movies made by DC. Even though we get stuff like Suicide Squad and Batman vs Superman, I like that they take some risks, like the upcoming Joker movie.

The street chase after Catwoman kills Bane is great.

It's the only thing worth watching in the Nolan trilogy.

Batman Begins is my favorite of the trilogy. Probably my favorite DC movie.
Love Batman and Returns too.
Superman 1 and 2 are still good, best score of all time which helps.
Wonder Woman rocked

The other stuff, meh.
Hoping for a major reboot of the universe

Here's an interesting perspective on TDK's influence and an evaluation of the trilogy and beyond. If you've got a little time, give it a view.

Every single day people are arguing on the internet about this ----. Not Superman or comics per se. But this identity politics bull----. It is so annoying.

Then Thanos should snap his fingers.
