I prefer Batman, so I'm more excited for that. But you had better bet that I will be at both midnight launches

I don't think Dark Knight needed a sequel, and frankly I'm still annoyed it gets one. It'll probably be good, possibly better than Avengers, but in the back of my mind I will always feel it's an unnecessary movie.
I wasn't that excited about the Avengers it until I realized that Joss Whedon was the writer and director. Squee!

Looking forward to both, but if I has to pick it's got to be The Avengers. Bats is kinda overrated IMHO but I still liked the recent movies.
Avengers is somthing ive been salivating over since I heard about it all those years ago, and now it's but a year or so to wait.

Seconded, probably Batman first, mainly because I'll be all over Arkham City so more Batman is a good thing.Milo Windby said:

Personally, I think that the Avengers is going to suck.
I think it is going to have the same problem that the Untouchables had where they had way too many heroes, and had to give each and every one of them a part in the story, and really didn't focus on the main point of an old 80-90's flick, the main hero.
The Avengers is going to try to give everyone a piece of the action, but is going to leave fans of the individual super-heroes unsatisfied.
I myself was disgusted when I saw that now only are they rebooting the spiderman movies (my favorite superhero), but they are starting from the beginning AGAIN and without Toby Maguire!
and to what end? to add him to the avengers roster -.-

That is Sony, not Marvel/Disney who are rebooting Spiderman, simply because if they don't release a film every so many years the IP reverts back. It's got nothing to do with the Avengers movies. That's truly a shameless grab for cash.pspman45 said:
I'm looking forward to The Dark Knight Rises, because of all the care and devotion Nolan has put into the story and franchise. I enjoy superhero movies as much as the next guy but for some reason I just don't care for the Avengers. (I still watch but I'm just not hyped for it.)
I have no doubt that The Dark Knight Rises will be a good watch, but I just don't think it will be as fun as the Avengers. I'm just getting that sense of brooding darkness from Christopher Nolan's Batman movies whereas so far the Marvel movies haven't been too serious and it looks like they'll have their fair share of fun and action.
The Avengers wins out for me I reckon.

I expect good things from Dark Knight Rises, given that Christopher Nolan has yet to make a bad movie.
I am weary of The Avengers, the reason for which coincidentally being why so many of my nerd brethren are hyped for it: Joss Whedon.

That is exactly what I am saying. Marvel/Disney DO NOT have the rights to make films about Spiderman, the Fantastic Four or the X-men. Because back before Marvel had it's own film studio and they were bankrupt they sold the rights to make those into movies to Sony and Fox respectively.pspman45 said:Spiderman, Iron man, and Captain America are all part of the Marvel Avengers. If you are saying that they are not starting up every franchise so that they can make an avengers movie, then you may need a visit from captain obvious
Marvel has absolutely no input in those productions such as the recent First Class and they make minimal money off them because the contracts were made when they were so desperate. But if Sony and Fox do not put out the movies every so many years then Marvel can make them again. This happened with the Hulk and more recently I believe the Punisher. So Sony had to make a new Spiderman after Sam Raimi and Toby Maguire walked from Spiderman 4, otherwise they loose a potential cash cow.
Spiderman will not appear in the Avengers, he cannot appear in the Avengers. The only caveat is that Sony may sell their subsidary Paramont (who possess the Spiderman rights) if they make a lose (Sony isn't doing so well in general). If and only then if Disney purchased Paramont or the right reverted, could he appear in the Avengers and in that scenario it still would have not been their decison to remake the latest Spiderman movie.
Amazing Spiderman not Marvel/Disney and the Avengers fault.
So, what, Rise of the Planet of the Apes tells you that it talks about the rise of the Planet of the Apes? About how the Planet of the Apes rises?Jacco said:
Kind of like how Dark Knight Rises tells you that it talks about the rise of the Dark Knight? Like how it tells about how the Dark Knight rises?
I don't get how it tells so much, and The Dark Knight Rises doesn't. Enlighten me.
I'm not interested in The Avengers at all. I've never liked it when superheroes appear together (unless its like X-Men, where it fits). It's not an accurate term to use, but what it feels like to me is a cheesy crossover.
Plus, I care not for Captain America, Thor or...the other ones who aren't Iron Man.
And Christopher Nolan is the best director in the business right now. He's the only one who never lets me down. Even the Coen brothers can't say that. Though I think movies are at an overall lower quality today than they have ever been, I completely respect Nolan's talent.

I think The Dark Knight is going to be better, mainly because I have much more trust in Christopher Nolan as director than Joss Whedon
