The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises were without a doubt the most anticipated superhero movies ever and they are now the highest two grossing movies of 2012.Seeing as how these are the two biggest superhero movies ever,most people have been dabating which is the better movie.There are hardcore fans of both,i know i am one.So i am going to compare them.I have chosen four main things to compare them on and i will decide which is the better movie for each catagory.These are the four catagories:Story,Action, Femme Fatale and Villian.
STORY
The difficult thing for The Avengers is that every character has had their own movie that has led up to this.So there is alot to add in for the story department to give every single character enough time on screen,but the story is sort of a typical one involving an alien invasion.Christopher Nolan on the other hand knows how to make Batman movies,and he proved it.I found a emotional attatchment to the characters in the movie,i was sad when characters died,and sad knowing that this is the end of a amazing trilogy,so for this,im gonna give the victory to The Dark Knight Rises.I do like The Avengers story too,but it didn't succeed as well as Batman's did.
Action
Like i said before,The Dark Knight Rises has a effect on more of a emotional level,there isn't that much action up until the last forty minutes.But i don't mind because i see it as more of a drama,not a stereotypical superhero movie.I see this as a superhero movie for people who hate superheros,because it can draw all kinds of audiences in.Much like Batman,the last forty minutes of the Avengers is all action too,involving superpowers,aliens and basically alot of stuff blowing up in a city.It was very awesome,and exciting,so i think the Avengers did better in this catagory
Femme Fatale
For the ladies in the movie,it is Scarlette Johannson as the Black Widow from The Avengers vs Anne Hathaway's portrayel of Selina Kyle(Her costume identy in the comics is Catwoman,but she is never reffered to as that in the movie) in The Dark Knight Rises.I think both actresses did a very good job in they're portrayels,but for the winner,i'm going withy Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle(and im not just saying that because she's my celebrity crush).Her character was more enigmatic and interesting i thought.I got excited whenever her character came back on and i was so curious to see what role she would have in the story.If they ever make a catwoman spin off,Hathaway should play her again because i think she was perfect for the character.

Villian
For the final catagory,its Tom Hiddleston as Loki from The Avenegers vs Tom Hardy as Bane for The Dark Knight Rises.I think they both did great.Hiddleston looked like he was having fun playing the character of Loki and his portrayel made him the most interesting character when he was on the screen.Bane on the other hand,i found very intimidating.He is very tall,and very big,and the mask can scare anyone.Loki uses super powers and an alien army to his advantage,but he does get beat up alot.When i saw the Dark Knight Rises in IMAX,everytime Bane threw a punch,i felt like i was getting hit by him.His massive size and scary look made him seem like a more intimidating villian to me,and thats why i think he was a better villian.Hiddlestton probably had a easier time being Loki,because Tom Hardy's character had his face covered.Also his voice had to be tweaked in the audio because people complained they couldn't understand what he was saying.

OVERALL
Overall i think Batman was the superior movie.In all of these catagories,i liked the story,action,girl and villian for all of them,but this is just if i had to pick one specifically.Both of these movies have made over a billion dollars and i love them both,i think they are the greatest superhero movies ever.I think The Dark Knight Rises is best,but the Avengers is a close second.
