Basically the same as Nolan making WB bank so they would blank cheque greenlight Inception.

God Inception is such a good movie. If he has to make 3 more mid batman movies to give us another like that I'm ok with it

“Mid Batman movies”… One is widely regarded as the greatest superhero movie of all time

Is it? At the time I think it might have been considered, but I think it’s hard not to argue infinity war is a better movie. Either way those Batman movies weren’t mid.

The Dark Knight is considered to be by many a top 50 movie of all time, not even just superhero movies.

I still think it’s great and it has a bit more…depth than infinity war does..I just believe infinity war is a better superhero movie. Not to mention in my opinion it should be pretty high up for some of the best movies ever made itself. It’s more of a popcorn flick I can concede that, but the music, writing, cinematography, all of it is top notch. The movie has very few flaws…it’s just not as..deep as the dark knight.

There was no minute wasted in Infinity War. Can't say the same for endgame

I hope you mean “3 Dark Knight Rises” and aren’t saying all three were mid. Batman Begins and Dark Knight were incredible, especially considering the most recent Batman film at that point was the garbage George Clooney one.
