AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! My two favorite superhero movies!! The only flaw in Spidey 2 will cost it in this matchup. If only Spider-man would keep his mask on more often and stop revealing his identity to everyone!
on 12/20/2009
Man! Good fight! I'm leaning towards Spidey here. Just think that Batman was slightly more overrated that Spiderman 2. Both great movies, though.
on 1/2/2010
Spidey 2 is better than the first one, and personally I prefer TDK to Batman Begins. Tough call.
on 1/13/2010
Dark Knight, but I do agree with Dsurprise; Spider-Man risking the loss of his identity so often is so irritating! Still a great movie, though.

Both are among the best sequels ever made; both surpass their very competent predecessors. I love both of these movies. In a way, my preference here is almost dictated by factors other than the movies themselves. On the whole, I prefer Christopher Nolan's work to Sam Raimi's. (Nolan's got three movies in my Top 5, including TDK. Meanwhile, I admittedly have not seen enough of Raimi's work; my favorite of his films, however, is A Simple Plan.) But also, I prefer Batman as a character to Spider-Man. These are my two favorite comic book heroes, and their best movies, but I choose The Dark Knight without too much hesitation. Nothing against Spidey 2; it's a great film.

As two of the best sequels ever made, this is quite a tough call, but 'The Dark Knight' grabs my vote for Heath Ledger's incredible performance.
on 5/20/2010
Spider-Man 2 is simply the better film. I agree with many who say the fight for the top comic adaptation film is between Iron Man 2 and Spider-Man 2. Sorry to all TDK fans.
on 9/13/2010
I always liked Spidey more than Batman, so naturally the superb Spiderman 2 gets my vote here.
on 10/15/2010
I think both movies are great. They have complex villains and work well as sequels, but the Dark Knight overall tells a more satisfying story.
on 11/5/2010
Spider-Man beats Batman Begins and Spider-Man 2 tops TDK. Will Dark Knight Rises fall prey to Spider-Man 3's overcrowding "have to top a classic" syndrome? Time will tell.
on 1/23/2011
The Dark Knight is far darker more complex and allegorical.
I love both, but without Ledger's greatness, Dark Knight falls off tremendously. Sipdey 2 gets my vote.

Oh man! This is a wonderful pairing because until the dark knight reared its black hood spiderman was the pinnacle of superhero films. Fascinatingly, The Dark Knight goes against everything Spider-Man stands for. Spider-Man is a deeply propagandistic film that supports the Bush era anti-terror actions that steals its propagandistic flourishes from Casablanca ('Heresy' you shout! but think about it giving up the girl for the greater good. Where does that idea originate? Casablanca). The Dark Knight addresses the same era with an opposite view. That said, it is entirely irrelevant to the discussion of what film is better. Or is it. Dark Knight wins.

For me, TDK stands out as a more complete film. The supporting cast is stronger and more fleshed out, the villain is more memorable, and it would take about 500 'No Moar Dead cops' to rival the goofiness of the "You gotta go through me" train scenario. Plus, TDK kills off the non-super powered female character, which leaves a much bigger impact than the whole "damsel gets saved" scenario that we see too many times.
on 9/3/2011
TDK always and forever.
Easily the dark knight
on 3/7/2012
Dark Knight easily.
on 4/14/2012
Extremely difficult.
Two of the best superhero film ever made. TDK wins.
on 7/31/2012
Spider-Man 2. Not as noisy as The Dark Knight.
TDK. Easily.
on 2/6/2013
Before The Dark Knight came out, Spider-Man 2 was the premier comic book movie...Was.
The Dark Knight by far.
on 6/7/2013
I prefer Spidey to Bats, but I do prefer TDK to SM2 as well. Tough one, though.
on 3/23/2014
here it is! Spidey 2 wins
These are both the greatest super hero movies around today. Spiderman two was a great movie, with an extremely relatable main character, Peter Parker (which is ruined in the new movie due to that faggot Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spiderman). However, I have to give to Dark Knight because it has maybe the most incredible villain in all of cinema history (I understand this is highly debatable). Dark Knight also has much better side characters than Spiderman 2 (ex. two face).
on 3/25/2014
I have to go with The Dark Knight. Absolutely nothing wrong with Spider-Man 2 I just prefer Dark Knight
on 8/25/2016
The both are the best in their franchise. I always think Spider-Man 2 is really good, The Dark Knight is the best superhero movie ever hands down.
on 8/26/2016
http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20160819-the-21st-centurys-100-greatest-films Congratulations to Christ-opher Jonathan James Nolan for producing the consensus choice for best CBM ever made going on a near decade now.
Your parents failed as human beings. Cunt.
on 8/11/2018
Dark Knight owns any Spidey...
Time did tell. Raimi's Spider-Man outclasses Nolan's Batman if you're being honest. Spider-Man beat Batman Begins badly and Spider-Man 2 still tops TDK. Both franchises finished with their weakest efforts but The Dark Knight Rises was so bad that it made Spider-Man 3 look like gold by comparison.
on 8/14/2018
My two favourite comic book movies. Back a decade ago when superhero movies were exciting yet complex and character driven. What was happened? Anyway, Spider-Man 2 wins!
The Dark Knight is my favorite super hero film of all time.
Spider-Man 2 raised the bar for superhero films. Great to see the MCU take that high standard and run with it. Meanwhile, DC characters have mostly crapped the bed since TDK.
on 7/20/2020
the only film in the spiderman trilogy that can sit next to begins and rises is spiderman 2, and yet tdk is way better than all of them
Spider-Man 2 is fantastic, and honestly I'd put it above any MCU film, and I like the MCU. But lets be real here. The Dark Knight has better acting, a better plot, a better villain (though Otto is great), a better cast, and is much less predictable. All Spider-Man 2 has on The Dark Knight is better action and arguably a better soundtrack, which is not enough. The Dark Knight gets my vote.
on 8/29/2020
TDK by far. SM 2 is one of the most overrated films of all timr
on 10/23/2020
The Dark knight , never seen spider man 2
on 1/3/2021
While I believe Spider-Man 2 is one of the best superhero films ever made, The Dark Knight is THE greatest (even if it's only my second favorite, I think it's the best-quality one).
on 6/11/2021
I have to stop commenting on Batman films but I’m here. I think Southpaw explained in his YouTube video on how Spider-Man 2 has a broken plot. Spider-Man 2 is the best paced superhero movie in my opinion. It has has the best score besides Superman 78 and Batman 89. I think Spider-Man 2 isn’t a film that is good on a plot level but is masterfully told to make you feel something by the end of the film.
on 10/5/2021
The Dark Knight, easily, though Spider-Man 2 is easily the best in it’s trilogy
on 4/16/2022
Two of my favourite comic book movies, and arguably two of the best superhero movies ever made, but if I'm being honest, this really isn't a tough pick for me: Spider-Man 2; it's one of the few movies that I can put on pretty much whenever and enjoy from start to finish every single time without getting tired of it.
on 10/2/2022
Spider-Man 2 is still the best Spider-Man movie till this date. Much better than any MCU movie. Still can't top The Dark Knight though.
on 10/22/2022
The Dark Knight. Not even remotely close. The nostalgia goggles people have for Spider-Man 2 is unreal
on 2/8/2023
I love The Dark Knight. I love love love Spider-Man 2.
dark knight is that convenient better than anything spiderman
on 8/12/2023
Both movies are masterpieces but I think The Dark Knight is the winner here
