>>99764483Iron man came out in the same year and was just as critically acclaimed, it even made more money
avengers came out shortly afterwards, and became a much bigger hit, and completely reshaped the moviescape
if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, few movies are as flattered as the avengers
it is very difficult to compare dark knight to the avengers directly
dark knight is dark, theme driven, gritty, tried to be grounded in reality and focusing on drama
avengers is bright, character driven, bombastic, fully embraces rule of cool and science fantasy
they arent really in the same category, being connected only by the existence of superheroes
TDK is very much a bronze age or modern age comic movie, darker and more grounded
the avengers is more of a silver age movie, cheesy good fun
personally i prefer the avengers, because it aligns more with my own tastes
but i do they are both good
