Which was the better opening TDK or TDKR?

Both different both great. Nothing else to say

Dark Knight. The tension with that ear-piercing whine throughout as they broke into the bank. Then the reveal. Great intro. Incredible.

Both are superb sequences but TDKR just edges it for me, the aerial hijack was spectacular and inventive.

Exactly, very clever! Not to **** on TDK but we've seen bank robberies before. No doubt Gary Oldman being in the film looked at Bane and was like "Damn, sure beats my airplane jacking."

Not really,the TDK intro just gives you a piece of the characters. As Joker pointed out it can be viewed in positive sense as well. But what I'm really trying to say is that just by watching the intro no one would know what they were dealing with. With Bane TDKR promo gives you a near total picture of what Batman is gonna deal with later on. Ok I may have exaggerated with the 100% thing as we still had yet to find out about the prison and the reason he ended up with the mask but as threats/villains TDKR captured fully the essence of Bane,TDK gives one a sample.

I think that different approach works equally well for both. My personal experience - I was very excited for TDK (because The Joker was in it) and the opening scene took my unfounded excitement, validated it and then whet my appetite for more in the movie to come.

With TDKR I was sceptical about how they would follow on from TDK, so to have an opening scene that jumped straight into a very intense action scene (with stunning visuals), and be given a full view of the threat that Bane posed worked perfectly for that film. It meant that the opening act was able to help the audience see Bane as something Batman had never faced before – both smart and physically imposing.

I enjoy tkd but i been watching the third one i enjoy it more!! heath ledger was good as the joker!! but to me they didn't show the Joker too much!! but I enjoy the third dark night rises!!

The Dark Knight is the vastly superior movie but I always felt like that opening bank heist was a bit overrated. The Bane plane sequence is incredible, especially in IMAX.

The Dark Knight's is better IMO.

They are both awesome. TDKR showed a bit more maturity in the direction and production, but TDK prologue will live forever in infamy.
