    Default Do all Batman Fans feel the same way about the Avengers?



    i read in facebook, imdb, and other boards where fans of TDKR seem rather upset about the cash cow TA have become. So Im wonderin. Do most of you feel overwhelm by how movie goes (not fans) will come to appreciate the avengers more than Batman?

    also whats the appeal with Anne Hatway?

    People who aren't idiots will recognize that there is room for both The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises, and that despite their comic book origins they are incredibly different and equally valid movies that represent two very effective ways of adapting superheroes to the big screen.

    Avengers might make more money, but TDKR will probably have the better story.

    I don't see why anyone would actually care. As a comic book fan, I'm happy that both were done well and have proven successful.

    Uhhh...have you seen her? Seen her in that skintight outfight? Did you like ScarJo in Avengers? Then you got an idea.

    Sums up my feelings as well. Why anyone would feel insecure enough to be threatened by the success of a movie based off a comic that just happens to be published by a rival company is beyond me.

    Yeah if anything Avengers has now made a Justice League movie possible, so it's kind of silly to take sides with DC and Marvel in the cinema, especially when DC doesn't really have a competing studio.

    they are actually competing in box office sales. I think some heat among fans is fine. this isn't like Football Holigans fans that will stab you for wearing wrong colors. Just comic book nerds like us.

    No because movie fans and my taste are 50/50 on what we mutually like, been a long Batfan and haven't picked up a Avenger book until a couple years ago and the one thing both Nolan's films and Avengers and the movies leading up to it have done is RAISE THE BAR ON MAKING GOOD COMIC BOOK MOVIES which means we get good movies and not some bs
