I'm gonna go with the games because they were both steller and will be remembered for quite a while. The only one of the movies that was truly noteworthy was The Dark Knight, the other 2 were just "good" superhero movies like Captain America or Iron Man 2.

I'd rank it Batman Begins > Arkham City > The Dark Knight > Arkham Asylum > The Dark Knight Rises, so it pretty much averages out to being exactly the same.

The Dark Knight is the Best Batman Movie.

Arkham City is the Best Batman Game.

Tim Burton's Batman Suite is the Best Batman Music.

I haven't read all of the comics to determine which one is better. :(

That just about covers it.

Wow, I'm kinda opposite. I'd say Dark Knight Rises > Dark Knight > Arkham City > Batman Begins (haven't played Asylum)

I was impressed with Christopher Nolan's Batman but I had more fun with the Marvel Movies. But I still hold the Arkham Series in the highest regard.

Begins got the ball rolling, and the Arkham games do the franchise justice. Individually, I'd rank them:

Begins>Arkham Asylum>Dark Knight>Arkham City>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rises.

With the games they stayed kind of true to the villains, unlike the recent movie trilogy. The exception being Heath Ledgers portrayal of The Joker, although not necessarily true to the comic character he certainly done the role justice. Then we have Bain in Dark Knight Rises! (I'll say no more)

The Dark Knight trilogy > probably the best trilogy in movie history (Watch Return of the Jedi again...it sucked) The Akhams > some of the greatest video games ever made Movies > video games. That was easy...

The films are good, though by the end the trilogy had gotten rather bloated and preachy. The arkham games are fantastic, and actually work to incorporate the vast amount of content in the comics. Winner

WTF is wrong with you Batman Begins was awful.

nope, it was the best out of the three movies

to me was more like this:

Dark Knight > Begins > Rises

Dark Knight took some of the best stuff from movies like: Heat (1995), Point Break (1991), Blade Runner (1982) and only made it better. I even heard that Nolan forced the actors to watch these 3 movies every day before filming and you can tell from the get go the heavy influence of these 3 films on the Dark Knight. But anyway, this trilogy will be remembered forever even if Rises was crap.

Kevin Conroy will forever be Batman to me. So the Arkham games. Though sure for superhero flicks the batman films are quite good. And I do enjoy Ledger's Joker.

It's funny how horrible you taste in everything is. Tell me exactly what you thought was done better in Begins than in Rises.

The films by leaps and bounds.

Movies tend to age a little better than video games, in most cases.

Rises was so disappointing, the first half was good, but the second half... *sighs*

That's actually a tough decision. But I'm a gamer, so I'll chose the games. (More specifically Arkham City)

Rises is no where near as good as everyone makes it out to be. Don't know if it's better than Begins, probably equal in my eyes. But Rises was a let down for me.

I like the new Batman movies a LOT, but there are definitely some flaws in how some of the characters are portrayed.

The Arkham games made me feel like an incredible superhero the entire time while staying very true to Batman lore which was something I appreciated.

I have to give it to the Arkham games, but I still really like the movies.

Begins and The Dark Knight are timeless. Arkham series is amazing, but I'm not sure it is truly "timeless". Will have to play more of them.

None of the films in Nolan's Batman trilogy are great. The Dark Knight comes close, but that's largely due to Ledger's performance. The Arkham games are much more satisfying experiences.

I still love the Tim Burton Batman movies which is Batman and Batman Returns.

I don't know about all of the Dark Knight series I still have to watch Rises.

So far it is the only one I can watch the full way through more then once. I watched Batman Begins from start to finish about 5 times. I only saw The Dark Knight from start to finish once.

The Arkham series is great within its respective medium. It's difficult to say the same thing about Nolan's trilogy.
