Oh I thought you were saying the opposite. And it was just a chance to quote Lebowski.
Yes, I didn't think any of his movies were masterpieces either. Everyone I know was like "OMG BEST MOVIE EVAR" after watching TDK, I thought it was just a good movie but overrated.

lol, never a bad reason to quote lebowski.
Honestly, how I feel about the Nolan movies is this: They're brilliantly written, amazingly acted, and wonderfully made.
But if you ask me if the Dark Knight FEELS like a Batman movie, then honestly, I have to say no. or at least, they don't feel as much like Batman as other movies/games/comics. When I read the comics, play the Arkham games or even watch the Burton movies, they FEEL like Batman experiences a lot more than the Nolan trilogy.
That was something I worried about with Man of Steel, but after seeing the most recent trailer, I'm more at ease now.
I don't think TDK is overrated at all. But BB focused more on Batman whilst TDK more on the Joker.
They were both epic movies Imo. Although BB was probably more true to Batman, so I can completely understand comic book fans preferring BB to TDK.
Just waiting for a couple of modern day epic Superman films now!
Depends on what you like. If you want Batman, Batman Begins is the place for that. If you like Joker, Heath Ledger's performance was pretty much flawless, IMO. And so far the best villain performance in any super hero movie. He won a damn Oscar and would have probably been nominated even if he didn't die.
Jim Lee has seen MAN OF STEEL and Approves of it!
