Have to respectfully disagree there. I thought the Nolan Batman films lacked personality. IRON MAN also holds up more to me *as a superhero fan* than DARK KNIGHT, which was released the same year.
The Frank Miller influenced version of Batman makes me uneasy as I get older and see the links to right-wing vigilantism. This scene from YEAR ONE makes Bruce Wayne seem like Travis Bickle, which is all wrong.
Bruce Wayne is a billionaire. He has far more effective ways of improving his home town other than beating up junkies. A wealthy white guy talking about "cleaning up" a city has really unfortunate implications.
It's a contrast to characters like, say, Black Lightning or Luke Cage where the notion is someone from the underprivileged community is defending it from those who prey on it, especially when the police aren't interested in helping.
So, I suppose I prefer the flawed Tony Stark from MCU to Nolan's Bruce Wayne, especially when Nolan had Wayne spend a decade moping around his mansion doing nothing constructive.
