I have not seen any of the Batman Trilogy movies but I might be going to see TDR on Saturday. I've heard it's good. Really good. I just worry a bit that I won't *get* it, that I won't be [reaction spoiler] at the end if [spoiler I heard was factually accurate]. Yanno?

Part of me thinks that I should maybe watch the others before Saturday. Which. Maybe.

ps. please don't put actual spoilers in the comments.

The latest is the only one I've watched since getting into the comics. The first two I didn't like that much. The third one I loved. I think there's some correlation to me not knowing what the hell was going on in the first two, to appreciating the third movie. Because Nolan doesn't just use the characters that everyone knows by name like the Joker, he uses some of the ones that mostly casual fans are not going to know, like Ra's al Ghul. There was also one scene that was straight out of comics pages.
I did suffer a little from not remembering what the hell happened in the other two, but I think there was really only one point where that was significant.
Anyway, yeah. It's possible that you won't get it.
This...this is not a helpful encouraging post, is it? lol.

Hmm, maybe if I were a fan of the comic books, I would have enjoyed / gotten the movie more.

I had just watched the first two before seeing this one and honestly, I don't know that they were needed all that much. Unless it was a bunch of little things or a giant thing that I missed.
