Which do you think was the better trilogy, Sam Raimi's Spider-man 1,2, and 3 or Chris Nolan's Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises?

I really liked Raimi's first two films but....
Really
Two superhero trilogies of arguably the most popular character from each company, both trilogies helmed by the same director for all three films. Yes really.
Nova and Oscorp probably will.

The Spiderman movies are better, so I hope some would vote for them.
I had to double check. At first I thought Nova created this poll.

Both have two great movies, both are great superheroes, well one's a vigilante.
So movie-wise it's about even, but since Spider-Man is better than Batman i vote Spidey
Looking forward to when Celtic gets here and realizes his beloved Raimi won't win
Also Spider-Man 2 and TDK are both regarded as the best of the genre

People/critics called ASM a "pointless" remake, I wonder if the same will be said of the Batman reboot? Especially if the Nolan Dark Knight is the more beloved franchise.

There'll be universal negative comparisons to the Nolan film when the reboot comes
I'm calling it now, everyone will dismiss the reboot as terrible even if it's great, simply because it's not nolan/bale

yep, pretty much, this is exactly what will happen.

And the third film of each trilogy has stretch-marked lips from blowing donkeys.
The best way for the Bat-reboot to fare well vis-a-vis Nolan is to set itself apart. Stylistically, it needs to take another approach. Because taking the same approach, it is going to be hard to compete, and even if it is good, folks will wonder why they are bothering. I think one of the things that ASM failed to do for many (not for me, but for others) was to set itself further apart from what Raimi did. They had a different tone and approach, but they weren't all that different really. It even seemed like the font and opening CG was reminiscent of the Raimi films. So, it was easier to say, "well, these movies are pretty similar in style, same origin being told for the same character, lots of similar lessons learned I guess, what's the point?" I think it could do Batman well to be situated in a less gritty, realistic world. Not Burton Batman, but maybe something closer to the Marvel universe style of comics than the Nolan style. More like traditional Earth 1 DC style Batman. Where wacky super powered villains don't have to be made "realistic" in some measure. Let the movies be more fantastic, and explore more about how Batman exists in that kind of universe. That's what I would do.

I wanted to vote for Spider-Man, but I hit TDK....Damn you Nolan, you evil bastard.
But in my heart, Raimi wins.

Not even close. Begins was a better origin than SM1. TDK was a far better sequel than SM2. And, TDKR was easily better than SM3.
The worst of the Nolan trilogy was probably better than the best of the Raimi trilogy. I think TDKR is likely generally considered the worst of the 3 Batman movies ... and I liked it quite a bit more than SM2, generally considered the best of the SM movies.
