Why? I haven`t seen any, but I might have to choose between those.

Batman is the best comic book super-hero movie ever made. Sin City is the best comic book movie ever made. Don't get me wrong, I loved Batman Begins, but it pales in comparison to the masterpiece known as Sin City.

As an art film: sin city was great. No complaints from me. It was a great adaptation of the graphic comic and Rogdriguez did a wonderful job with the cinematography and such. As a comic book film, I found Batman begins to be far more enjoyable. After years of sh1tty hollywood adaptations, this new Batman finally set the record strait. Batman Begins has summoned huge sighs of relief from all of us fans of the Dark Knight and I applaud Nolans success in doing so. Both are great films, but I give my nod to BB.
I liked them both...and I've never read Sin City and I'm not a huge Batman fan.
I'd give the nod to BB. IMO, it's the best Batman film ever (including the original). I was actually able to identify with Bruce for a change, and thought they did a good job mixing drama with action. Bale was solid as the Bat, and Freeman, Caine, and Neeson were all priceless in their smaller roles. Not without flaws, but a surprisingly good film.
Like I said, I liked SC too, but somehow didn't 'enjoy' it as much, even if I can attest to its cinematic brilliance.

Problems with Batman;
Action was sensored by camera angles that were too tight.
Gordon was comic relief.
Picky writers couldn't decide what parts to stay true to and what parts to alter, considering budget wasn't much of a problem.
Bale tried a little too hard to do the voice.
The mask could have been a little better.
Batman Begins, lol I think calling Sin City a master piece is a little over board in my own. I mean dont get me wrong it was a great movie, but Batman just had more to it.
Both great movies and were much needed to the comic book movie franchise.
