re: Almost 28 months later: TDKR vs The Avengers revisited

you could do the same thing for TDK, just you don't think about it because of the pacing and editing

You also don't think about it because it was a better movie in every aspect.

Some things can be forgiven and suspended in a comic book movie. TDKR was just shitty. And all of its problems aren't overcome by anything. Weak ending, subpar plot, mediocre character development, etc. I didn't care about any of the characters. In Batman Begins you had scarecrow and Ras. Interesting characters you wanted to learn about. In TDK you had Joker and to a lesser extent two face. In TDKR you had no reason to be interested in any of the villains because no one in the move was interested in them either. No one cared where they came from or why they were doing what they were doing. And any time some kind of mystery was built up Bane just casually laid it all out for you anyway so you didn't have to think to much. Then the last 30 mins of the movie happened and you left the theatre thinking what did I just watch?

the core of the trilogy and the TDKR is emotion, character arcs, consequences

There were character arcs and consequences in TDKR? What consequences were there?

the avengers just doesn't have it at all

Completely separate movies in completely separate universes. Batman Begins and TDK were set in a gritty dark "realistic" universe with real characters and solid writing and acting. The avengers was a pure fun movie. Room a bunch of super heros everyone liked and had them interact and fight together in a cool popcorn action flick.
