You Decide: Batman vs The Avengers
This topic is locked from further discussion.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/07/28/you-decide-batman-vs-the-avengers
IGN want you to decide. Cast your vote for The Dark Knight Rises or The Avengers across multiple categories.
If you're basing this off of movie sales, than Avengers win.
If you're basing this off of better movie, than it's a stalemate. (Avengers is good for light-hearted fun while TDKR is good for epic, darker story)
I don't prefer one over the other.
I'd rather watch both of them in a row again (in either order) than watch strictly one over the other.

People who think the Dark Knight Rises is better are idiots. Nothing can be better than the Avengers. Not even Avengers 2.
EDIT: Okay, I take back the idiot remark. But there is no way this is better than the Avengers,
you're the same idiot that said wolverine could beat lobo so you are in no position to talk
dark knight rises is thousands of times better, and that is a fact. the avengers is a glorified cgi fest that caters to stupid people, it's actually been proven that movies like the avengers make kids stupid.
tdkr had a compelling story and characters and was a much better film
the facts are the facts, sorry but its true

You're a cancer.People who think the Dark Knight Rises is better are idiots. Nothing can be better than the Avengers. Not even Avengers 2.
EDIT: Okay, I take back the idiot remark. But there is no way this is better than the Avengers,
The only people who think the Avengers is better are simpletons. And I mean that in the mentally deficient sense, not in the "their opinion is different" sense.
It's Blade Runner vs Star Wars.
This pisses me off. There aren't any holes, people are just f*cking dumb.Avengers

Good to give you loose bowels, let me elaborate then :)
- What happened to the blond who hangs by catwoman as her friend? never mentioned after the bane taking over gotham scene ever again
- A crippled batman doing push ups after getting his spine jabbed by an aging inmate
- bumping a five megaton bomb at every chance when he can get it up and away
- not using the batarangs against bane in the fight, which he spammed against his minions
- not using the blades behind his gauntlet vs bane in the first fight
- Bane's goons not shooting the cops (all of them had ak 47) when on of their tumblers got shut down by batman, even thouth talia rode that to escape later
- Blake knowing every detail about batman without any prior information
- Not using michael caine and morgan freeman that much when they are high class actors
- Killing bane off in an anticlimactic way
- Batman quitting and that gotham was peaceful because of an act
- a law being invalid because dent was immoral
- want more?
7/10
You gonna shoot me like james holmes did at colorado?

- She's living with Selina. You see her in one of the apartment things
- He tried. He couldn't move.
- That's not how nukes work. They need to be detonated.
- He wanted to prove to himself that he could win in hand to hand. It was all about his own arrogance. That was the whole point of that fight.
- See above
- They did shoot the cops. You saw several of them go down. Nolan just decided not to show a bunch of police officers being shot down in a PG-13 movie
- He doesn't know every detail about Batman. He knows what the Gotham PD knows. And he deduced his identity based on who Bruce Wayne was, not who Batman was.
- Seriously?
- And once again?
- It was a totalitarian act, they said that, and Bruce quit because of existential reasons.
- An act that was based around the word of the victim being placed above the rights of the accused? Yeah, it makes sense.
- I'm still waiting on a single point that doesn't make you sound like a nitpicking moron, or just plain dumb.
@FadeToBlackBolt:
Thank you
Class act I am
- She's living with Selina. You see her in one of the apartment things - before the scene after that gone in the wind
- He tried. He couldn't move. - then exercise montage, not like karate kid and rocky but still similar
- That's not how nukes work. They need to be detonated. - No, in the movie there was a countdown as they already took care of talia's bomb trigger and there is only the failsafe left
He wanted to prove to himselfthat he could win in hand to hand. It was all about his own arrogance. That was the whole point of that fight. - Not that, he has other options in the utility belt, why grab smoke bomb?
- See above - old injuries are a bad justification
- They did shoot the cops. You saw several of them go down. Nolan just decided not to show a bunch of police officers being shot down in a PG-13 movie - total of the escape are three dead cops, including blake's superior nothing more
- He doesn't know every detail about Batman. He knows what the Gotham PD knows. And he deduced his identity based on who Bruce Wayne was, not who Batman was. - Batcave? that was very marty stu of him. Only gordon knows, not pd. that was weak
- Seriously?- yes really
- And once again? - I repeat myself with yes, comfortable now?
- It was a totalitarian act, they said that, and Bruce quit because of existential reasons. - done with no explanation, leaving gaps for the audience to fill with a wash of symbolisms
- An act that was based around the word of the victim being placed above the rights of the accused? Yeah, it makes sense. - only higher legislative bodies can remove laws if they violate constitution IRL
- I'm still waiting on a single point that doesn't make you sound like a nitpicking moron, or just plain dumb. - Copout ending where bruce lives through the neutron bomb

@InnerVenom123: he/she did start dissing avengers fans first by calling them names
And you brought up an entirely different issue. That's like bringing up Columbine if you were talking about rival high schools.
1. That makes no sense at all. Before the scene after that? What? Regardless, I've already said where she was.@FadeToBlackBolt:

2. After having his back corrected by the Doctor's which took months.
3. The countdown was the detonator.
4. Because he was freaking out and grabbed what he could. He wanted to intimidate Bane with smoke.
5. Justification for what?
6. There were a lot more than three dead cops.
7. It was in the package Bruce left for him. Dear God, did you even watch the movie?
10. No, they just assumed a smidgen of competency of behalf of the viewer. More fool them for it.
11. It was an act specific to Gotham City, the same way the death penalty is only used in some states, this law was only in effect in Gotham.
12. HE WASN'T ANYWHERE NEAR IT. AUTO-PILOT. SERIOUSLY, DID YOU WATCH THE MOVIE?
What's wrong with me? Stupidity offends me. I'm tired of idiots. They don't have the decency to realise their own ineptitude, so I have to point it out to them. It's a thankless task, sure, but it needs to be done.@FadeToBlackBolt said:

Wow, a class act you are.
- She's living with Selina. You see her in one of the apartment things
- He tried. He couldn't move.
- That's not how nukes work. They need to be detonated.
- He wanted to prove to himself that he could win in hand to hand. It was all about his own arrogance. That was the whole point of that fight.

maybe you need to chill, what the hell is wrong with you, this is a debate, people have different opinions, both are great in their own way, avengers was a better superhero movie but TDKR had a darker, more compelling story, i like them both, one of my all time favorite, though i though that TDK was better
@InnerVenom123:
Or virginia tech when talking about foreign exchange
@FadeToBlackBolt:
1.That makes no sense at all. Before the scene after that? What? Regardless, I've already said where she was. - she was last seen with selina kyle at the wayne manor with her ready to party, no mention since.
2. After having his back corrected by the Doctor's which took months.
3. The countdown was the detonator.
4. Because he was freaking out and grabbed what he could. He wanted to intimidate Bane with smoke.
5. Justification for what? - even if he freaked out his gauntlet blades are always usable as they are attacked to his hands at all times
6. There were a lot more than three dead cops. - implied, not explicitly shown (that scene only though)
7. It was in the package Bruce left for him. Dear God, did you even watch the movie? - stop mentioning God in vain, package given after their meeting
10. No, they just assumed a smidgen of competency of behalf of the viewer. More fool them for it. - covering gaps with communism/terrorism symbolism does not fill the questions. Using the rachel pic was a cop out after bruce's line at the end of TDK.
11. It was an act specific to Gotham City, the same way the death penalty is only used in some states, this law was only in effect in Gotham. - that one is still out of the blue
12. HE WASN'T ANYWHERE NEAR IT. AUTO-PILOT. SERIOUSLY, DIDYOU WATCH THE MOVIE?- got in the batplane as it got up while gordon, selina and palls said their goodbyes. Auto pilot was only mentioned after the explosion, with no mention before except that hint when lucius told him that the auto pilot is screwed.
You're totally missing my point.
yes but the avengers is a good film, one of my top actually, you can't really think someone is an idiot for liking a good film, i like it because it is a light hearted super hero movie , while the dark knight rises has a totally different tone, calking someone a retard just because they don't a agree with you is not right . for example , i hate twilight , i think it is a disgrace as both movie and a book, but i in don't call anyone stupid because they might like it?? that's all i trying to say
I loved the Avengers. It was an awesome movie. It was not better than The Dark Knight Rises. It's perfectly fine to like it more, but it is not a better film.
This is an important distinction. As I said, it's Blade Runner vs Star Wars. Star Wars is fantastic and it's fun as Hell, but Blade Runner is the better movie.
What I'm saying is that you have to be a simpleton to believe that the Avengers is a better film than Rises. Or, to be fair, just completely ignorant about film. There is nothing, absolutely nothing wrong with liking the Avengers more, it's just not better. I like The Phantom Menace more than Attack of the Clones, but Clones is the better movie.
Can't help it. When someone posts something like that, I see red.@FadeToBlackBolt said:

@FadeToBlackBolt: Then again I am curious to your definition of a 'better' film, please use other examples to elaborate
The left is the better film;
Halloween vs Rob Zombie's Halloween
The Silence of the Lambs vs Hannibal
Se7en vs Saw
You know the difference. The direction, the performances (which to be fair I'd say was even between Avengers and Rises, everyone was superb in their roles in both films), the depth and, though I hate the word, "themes"(where Rises utterly destroys Avengers), the cinematography. You just know the difference. A good movie will have you leave smiling, a great one will have you leave thinking.
I'm not saying that Rises is on the level of something like 2001: A Space Odyssey, but it had a lot more substance than the Avengers.
@FadeToBlackBolt said:
Wholly agreed on the examples provided whereas the original Halloween was better, silence of the lambs (was that the one with buffalo bill?) is better than the other one, se7en is an all time murder classic whereas hannibal resembled comedy at times. Direction was good nolan vs. whedon (although TDK was the best movie of '08), cinematography was good (TDKR has better sets though), I was smiling after avengers and angry after TDKR (personal reasons because bane is a fave vilalin of mine, his fate leaves a bad taste at my mouth. My main thoughts are **** wayne for being an angsty b!tch and selina kyle is a whore, because I thought the villains move the plot behind TDKR as their stories are more interesting than the heroes.
I would agree if you replace substance with drama.
I don't see the purpose behind the constant comparison of these films. It's a miracle that we actually received both of them in a single summer.
I enjoyed The Avengers more than I did TDKR, but it's impossible to deny that TDKR was the better film in regards to direction and overall production.
Avengers. I was kinda disappointed by the Dark Knight Rises, but I guess that's because I liked Dark Knight better.
Hmmmm i was sure Batman would run away with this one. The Dark Knight Rises made me completely forget about The Avengers.

Tomatoes: avengers 92 (less realistic but more consistent) x batman 87 (realistic with many holes)
The rating that Rotten Tomatoes uses decides how many people like the film and not the quality of the film. How to train your dragon has a higher fresh meter rating than avengers and batman do, but it's actual review average is lower and that's what matters
TDKR is the better movie, I'm sorry for people who like the Avengers but that is a fact.
