The Dark Knight Trilogy VS Captain America Trilogy - Which do you prefer?

Collider has put together some good articles with each writer explaining their choice. It's inevitable that these trilogies, both wildly successful, will be forever compared to each other. Which one did you enjoy more?
For Captain America Trilogy
For TDK Trilogy
For Captain America Trilogy
For TDK Trilogy

for me, I would give the nod to TDK trilogy - only because to me, i felt Batman Begins was better that Captain America - the 1st Avenger.
that is no slight to the Cap trilogy however - as I love all 3 films as well.

Captain America has the worst film of the six.
Batman probably has the best film of the six.
That being said, I think Winter Soldier and Civil War put together outpace Batman Begins and TDK, so I'll go with Captain America. It's tough to ignore that CA is getting better every movie, where TDK trilogy kind of ended on a low note (imho).

Batman Begins>>>>Cap 1
TDK and WS are probably about even, maybe a slight edge to TDK
Civil War kicks the ever living shite out of TDKR, and I've defended TDKR here.
So I'd side with Captain America, even though I like the character of Batman much more.

If I had to rank the 6 films:
1) The Dark Knight
2) The Winter Soldier
3) Batman Begins
4) Civil War
5) The Dark Knight Rises
6) The First Avenger
So I guess I'll have to go with TDK Trilogy by a hair, but Captain America was still excellent.

It's almost unfair to compare them since CA is part of a larger universe and CW was pretty much another Avengers film
Posted on 5/13/16 at 10:14 am to RLDSC FAN
I'd have to say it's fairly even. I might give the slight edge to Cap just because CAP Civil War is leaps and bounds better than The Dark Knight Rises.
CAP:1st Avenger vs Batman Begins= BB
CAP:WS vs TDK = Push
CAP:CW vs TDKR = CAP:CW
CAP:1st Avenger vs Batman Begins= BB
CAP:WS vs TDK = Push
CAP:CW vs TDKR = CAP:CW

I'd say Capt, but that's a biased answer. I've always been a huge Capt fan. Though I'm not discounting TDK trilogy b/c its a very well done series and if I had to which to watch over a weekend it would be CA.

if not for the death of Ledger, I'd say Batman wins this one going away.
But TDK was also boosted by his incredible performance, if not for it I think a lot of the plot holes in that movie don't get ignored.

This. All of it.

Why? They have almost nothing in common besides both being comic book movies?
That and everyone will severely underrate TFA as usual, the poor misunderstood movie.

Best part of Captain America 1 were the travelling stage show segments!
Posted on 5/13/16 at 10:20 am to RLDSC FAN
The Captain America films get better upon repeat viewings, The Dark Knight films.... not so much.
Posted on 5/13/16 at 10:22 am to Freauxzen
FWIW Freau, i personally didn't underrate it - i liked it a lot - i just felt BB was better.
and I do agree - comparing the trilogies is a tad silly as they have little to nothing in common aside from being comic movies.
that said just looking at the two for me, its the Batman trilogy - but its a very thin line between the 2

Because that's what people do, whether that's fair or not. I'm seeing this brought up everywhere, which is probably a big reason Collider decided to make these arguments. Heck, here at work it's been a huge topic of discussion all week.

I am not sure it is a fair comparison. The Bat could have teamed up with other superheroes but hasn't. Had they teamed the Justice League together to offset the Avengers movies it would be similar, but as it stands there isn't enough comparables to get a proper evaluation.

I'd have it as a close race. I probably think more of First Avenger than the majority in here.
Begins = First Avenger
Dark Knight > Winter Soldier
Rises < Civil War
Ranking:
Dark Knight 6 points
Winter Soldier 5 points
Batman Begins 4 points
First Avenger 3 points
Civil War 2 points
Dark Knight Rises 1 point
Batman: 11 points (winner)
Captain America: 10 points

Civil War isn't really a fair entry into this b/c it's more of an Avengers movie than a Captain America movie, but i guess without the Joker, the TDK trilogy isn't all that great.
1. The Dark Knight
2. The Winter Soldier
3. Civil War
4. The Dark Knight Rises
5. Captain America The First Avenger
6. Batman Begins
I don't think there's a wrong answer here.
I'd prefer Cap, but i think Batman is the better trilogy. It told a story and wrapped it up. Cap hasn't ended yet.

This isn't a fair comparison.
1. The Captain America films rely on an understanding of the larger MCU and thus can't be viewed as separate, independent films. The Dark Knight Trilogy are comprised of three, largely independent films that take place in their own universe. You aren't really required to view the other two films to understand one of them.
2. Captain America: Civil War is basically The Avengers 2.5 with the Captain America label attached to it for kicks and giggles.
3. The Dark Knight Trilogy tells a complete story. Captain America's story will end with Infinity Wars and not with his own standalone film.

No offense but I just don't see how BB is ranked last in this bunch. Obviously everyone has their opinion but if I were to rank them it would be.
1a.Winter Soldier
1b.The Dark Knight
3.Civil War
4.Batman Begins
5.TFA
6.TDKR
One of the reasons The Winter Soldier is fantastic is that it actually makes The First Avenger better.
