My brother's favorite is the final one. I really liked the second and third one. The Joker is hard to beat; Heath Ledger did a phenomenal job. That said, I really liked the third one too. I like the twist in the tale, which is fitting with Cat Woman. The third one met its match with the Aurora shooting and the Olympics: those are powerful antagonists. I've read reviews that boo the third one by saying it's over written and ridiculously implausible. Of course it is-- it's a super hero tale based on a comic book.
Now, we're watching the Bournes. Bourne Identity's flashy. Bourne Supremacy is actually interesting-- the bad guy situation gets complicated. Good and bad go awry. They're good movies but pale in comparison to the Dark Knights.
I remember a guy told me that book series are popular with publishers because they represent less marketing because they already have a readership for the sequels. This makes sense. And, I like it as a reader... or a viewer.
I really like having the movies and watching them in close succession. It's reminiscent of when I read the Harry Potters in Japan. I devoured them. I even went to Tokyo to buy one because it wasn't in my town. It's excruciating to wait for an installment of a story to come out. It's smart to wait until the last one is in place then you can gulp the entire story in one fell swoop.
