To be honest, both The Dark Knight Rises and Avengers Assemble were brilliant films, but my heart really is in the latter. I can't see myself liking the former more than that, because when I re watched it a second time with my sister, somehow Bane didn't live up enough to my expectations this time. Of course, I can't doubt Christian Bale's acting in this film, but Avengers Assemble just felt intense, there were more cool characters to choose from, yet there was more chemistry and it was a lot funnier (although that doesn't really count considering it wasn't supposed to be funny, I just think with a group of people that have extraordinary talents like that managed to humour each other in the best possible way without being cheesy). Contrary to popular belief, it feels more difficult when there's only one superhero because you have to adapt them to fit them in the surroundings without feeling like anything is lacking, so they kind of have to compensate, which I don't think managed to give The Dark Knight Rises enough power for me to give it five stars.
