If you’ve been browsing around UTF for the past week, then you’ve probably heard us spouting off our knowledge after watching The Dark Knight Rises trailer. We’ve already shared our theories about Robin’s dubious appearance and the possible arrival of some Joker footage, but we’ve been wanting to focus on something a bit more relevant lately…the feud with The Avengers.

If you’re part of the majority, then you obviously have a preference for one of these flicks. Who has enough energy to be equally psyched for both films? You chose one or the other, not both!

In our conversations, we’ve generally found that it’s a 50/50 split between fans. There even seems to be an equal split among our staff here at UTF, which is a bit surprising since we’re a majority of Nolanites.

But whatever the stats may say, one things certain, and it’s that The Avengers is the far riskier chose. It just comes down to plain facts. Christopher Nolan and the Batman crew have created two phenomenal films, and they managed to stay together for this final installment, all of which bodes well. On the other hand, The Avengers is working with an all new Director and an all new crew. Admittedly, a lot of these guys have been floating around Marvel Studios for a while now, but they’ve still never worked together on the same project…let alone a film of this magnitude.

I’m sure these comments will stir up some passion, and I encourage you guys to sound off in the comments below. So what’s your take?
