As much as I liked her in TDKR and the reveal about another character at the end, I have little to interest in watching a movie in which one or both are main characters.

I thought this one was epic.
It had a much stronger human element to it than the second one. The second one, you didn't know anything about Joker, no character evolution from anyone, and Batman just chased after a crazy dude who left destruction in his path.
The moral was the city. Would people finally stand up in a moment of despair and become ugly and turn on themselves as Joker predicted? Or would they stand up and fight corruption, even if it meant sacrificing themselves? They did so on the two boats... Batman then did it to protect Dent's reputation.
It was a cool moral. But it isn't exactly touching. Maybe the touchy emotional part was seeing his love get blown away. But no one cared. Perhaps if it were Katie Holmes I would have...
The first one had a nice human element to it, you saw Bruce Wayne's parents gunned down. You saw him feel guilt. You saw Liam Neeson haunted by his past and dedicated towards fighting corruption. In Bruce's attempts to fight crime, his house is burned down and reputation tarnished (even though he was merely trying to save all those guests at his bday party).
However, I thought this one is loaded with a lot of human elements. You get to know Bane a lot better than the Joker. Liam Neeson flashbacks challenges him. He's a living breathing person. Catwoman, Alfred, etc all have their emotional parts. Batman shows how vulnerable he is. He even cracked a joke or two.
I think it was by far the best out of the 3. In fact, it was the best movie I've seen in a long time.
My only complaint would be that I couldn't understand Bane for the first half of the movie. I usually just shrugged my shoulders and waited for something to be blown up.
Having said that, the movie could have been another hour or two longer. There are a lot of questions I still have. Things I could have seen. More character involvement. More Bane. More fighting. But it had more of that then #2. Looking back now, #2 is like living through a nightmare. Joker just puts everyone through hell (for no reason, other than merely wanting to watch the world burn). At least this movie, like the first, the bad guy has a goal.

Spoiler:
During one of the fight scenes did anyone have flashbacks to Batman's interrogation of Joker? When he's beating the hell out of Bane he yells, "WHERE IS IT? WHERE IS THE DETONATOR???" The way he says it, in his freaked out pissed off voice, it was almost exactly the same as when he's beating up Joker in jail yelling, "WHERE ARE THEY? *smashes Joker's head against the window* WHERE ARE THEY???"
I wish we could have seen more fighting between Bane and Batman at the end. It got really sweet once Batman started to knock off the mask. I dunno about you, but I wanted to see more of that.

This.
People seem to recognize how silly it is for a billionaire to dress up as a bat. Then get upset about certain other equally ridiculous aspects.
Folks. It's a movie... A comic book movie at that.
The first one featured a guy hijacking a train, using a microwave emitter, to vaporize the water supply of a major city and unleashing a toxin into the air that caused mass panic.

Batman isn't real and neither are his villains.

I wish there had been more fighting between them too. The main fight between them, though, is pretty great.

Any specific scenes of Bane's dialogue you'd like explained?

That's how Batman interrogates everybody.
