The Dark Knight Rises has a more-than-impressive roster with the likes of Batman, Bane, Catwoman, Talia al Ghul, Jim Gordon, speculation over Ra's al Ghul in a flashback and who knows what other minor cameos we might spot. 

But, despite Bane being my favorite comic book character, that group simply can't compete with the impressively large group that will appear in Marvel's The Avengers. We've got *takes a deep breath*: Iron Man, Nick Fury, Loki, Captain America, Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Thor, Mariah Hill and Agent Coulson. Then there's all of the speculation over Thanos, possible other cameos (Spider-Woman? Ant-Man?) and the "we're not Skrulls because that name is owned by Fox but we kind of are" aliens. 

Batman is a legendary hero for a reason and the rest of the cast is something to look forward to, but it just doesn't compete with the sheer diversity that Marvel's The Avengers is bringing to the table.

Winner: Marvel's The Avengers
