but to be honest the whole movies I felt Bruce was a bit a whiner. Whining abou his parents in the first movie (which is how it should be no doubt about it!) then whining about Rachel in the second and maybe continuing in the second a bit along with whining about feeling useless in the 3rd. For me, the best scene(s) are at the end of TDKR. That's when to me, Nolan's batman proves himself to be a true hero. That got my all giddy inside and I LOVED finally feeling like "ok, Bale's Batman finally did it. He is the Batman." don't get me wrong though, I love all the films and have watched them numerous times just as many others have. But when you look back a them, like you said, everyone has their favorite moments. When I felt like Bale's Batman proved to be a hero, when he finally "gives them everything" that's the best scene(s) for me. Also, both fight scenes with Bane b/c we finally get to see what Bale's Batman is really made of.
