I thought the Trilogy were amazing films full of amazing actors, and actresses. The set pieces, lighting, and pacing were near flawless film making. However as "batman movies" i will always think they fell a bit short. There's quite a few reasons for this, but just to name a few i have to bring up that in the nolanverse Bruce was only batman for a very short time. Then he still walks away at the end to what i assume is to let Robin train alone until he comes back. That just doesn't seem right. Batman is sipping fine wine while the first Robin fights Gotham alone? If the eight year vacation was any indication it could be quite awhile before Bruce gets bored of Catwoman, and decides to "return" again.
I thought the gadgets, and preparation were lacking in the nolanverse. I never got the vibe that Bruce/Batman was just as much as a cerebral planning genius as he was a physical force. Which brings me to another point. Some will say that the Bane fight was so weak, because Bruce didn't want to kill Bane(obviously) he just wanted to take him down. Which wasn't going to happen. Even with that being a possibility Batman still seemed like a complete amateur in both his fights with Bane. In the end to me the nolanverse made Batman seem as though he was all Fear, and inspiration. Rather than Fear, inspiration, cerebral planning, and unmatched fighting skill. Basically imo the Trilogy could have nailed home a more cerebral Batman with much, much better fight scenes.
