There is something about Batman Begins (not present in Dark Knight or Rises) that makes it feel the closest anyone's ever come to recreating that sense of Spielbergian adventure. This movie felt like an Indiana Jones adventure for a new generation. In contrast, Dark Knight felt like an epic Michael Mann crime thriller for a new generation, and Rises (my personal favorite of the three) felt like the biggest futuristic, dystopian action flick John Carpenter never made.

I think Batman Begins had that perfect blend of the more grounded, realistic approach Nolan was going for, but also still felt like a comic book movie, and had a sense of fun to it that the sequels lacked imo. I also like that Gotham City had a little more personality in Batman Begins. Things like the narrows and train system along with some of the other additions they made to the skyline gave it a more unique appearance. Fast forward to The Dark Knight and it just looked like Chicago, or any generic U.S. city. Gotham itself should always have some personality imo. You don't have to go as far as Burton/Schumacher with the gothic/art deco styles, but it should have some other features/architecture to help it stand apart from real life cities.

Bruce Wayne sacrificed his old life and the batman identity because he was long done fighting and now someone else will be that symbol.

I’m surprised Ebert didn’t butcher this movie by pointing to all the people Batman kills while pretending to be “above killing”.

Like most people over 5 years old, Ebert did not care if a movie action hero kills people. He expected them to.

No they were good old fashioned classical storytelling. Blockbuster done as a relatively methodically grounded character piece, but still a four quadrant crowdpleaser.

@intergalactic24 She wasn't even the hottest girl in Disturbing Behavior. I thought the blonde girl in that movie was much hotter than her!
