Has there been a sequel that is better than the original film?


  • Yes! The Dark Night (2008) directed by Christopher Nolan, though The Batman Begins isn't bad, the Dark Knight is one of the best super hero films ever made. The characters, especially the joker were incredible. Its gritty, dark and feels real.
