I say this as more of a fact that’s soon to be proven rather than a prediction, but what Iron Man was to Dark Knight in ’08, Avengers will be that to Dark Knight Rises in 2012. Iron Man and Avengers are fun, great comic book movies that are the best of their genre while Nolan’s trilogy has/will transcend the comic sub-genre. As far as comics go, I’ve always been Marvel hands down, but as far as movies go, DC’s new Batman movies alone make me want to side with them. Marvel seems to be quantity over quality. Then again, DC created last year’s monstrosity, Green Lantern. Even still, I’m all about the rivalry.
