Are the Captain America movies the best Superhero trilogy?

Nolan's Batman.

I enjoy the Captain America movies for what they are, but they're basically junk food entertainment. Tasty junk food but junk food nonetheless. They're a little sterile/formulaic too.

The Nolan Batman movies elevate to a higher level though the third one got a little stupid. Who knows how the third Batman film would've played out had Heath Ledger lived.

In part I don't think Captain America really has a great villain, there's only a certain amount of drama that can be ramped up when the hero (who is likable) isn't ever really tested in some extreme way.

There's nothing really iconic about the Cap films, the Bale-voice (like it or not) is iconic, the "he's not the hero we need right now but the one we deserve" speech is iconic, the Joker/Batman interrogation scene, "it's not who I am underneath but what I do that defines me" etc. etc. It also popularized the "Bat-Tank".

Also the Hans Zimmer score for the Batman films >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any Marvel movie.

geez.  So much wrong in so little time.  That whole "junk food entertainment" description only really applies to the bottom half of the MCU.  Also Rises was a jumbled mess of a film especially everything after the first Bane fight.  Begins also had terrible fight camerawork.  I don't care what Nolan was going for it ended up failing epicly and it's obvious he realized that as he fixed it in the subsequent movies (though still had guys knocking themselves out)
