    Trailer Wars: ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ vs. ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ [Poll]

    It’s the battle of the trailers! There have been some amazing trailers this year, but which is the best?


    The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)

    Synopsis: Like most teenagers his age, Peter [played by Andrew Garfield] is trying to figure out who he is and how to be the person he is today. In his journey to put the pieces of his past together he uncovers a secret that
    his father [Campbell Scott] held… a secret that will ultimately shape his destiny as Spider-Man. This is the first in a series of movies that tells a different side of the Peter Parker story.

    The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

    Synopsis: Every hero has a journey. Every journey has an end. Christopher Nolan returns to complete the epic Gotham trilogy that launched with Batman Begins and reached the stratosphere with the billion-dollar blockbuster The Dark Knight. Inception’s Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levett join the cast regulars along with Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle and Tom Hardy as the powerful villain Bane, while Oscar winner Christian Bale prowls the night as the Caped Crusader, fighting crime and corruption with the help of Michael Cane, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman.

    This round is Batman vs. Spider-Man! Round one! Fight!

    The Dark Knight Rises (2012) Official Trailer #3

    The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) Official Trailer #2

    Which one if better? Is there anything you feel stands out in one versus the other? Which one are you more likely to see?

      That's tough! They did a really good job with the Spiderman trailer. That said, I ultimately want to see The Dark Knight Rises far more.

    2. Maurice Mitchell on May 15, 2012 4:46 pm

      One for Dark Knight Alex

    3. Tony Laplume, Scouring Monk on May 15, 2012 5:57 pm

      I have to pick Amazing Spider-Man, because that trailer is, well, amazing. I'll be seeing both movies, very eagerly.

    4. Maurice Mitchell on May 15, 2012 7:14 pm

      We're split between the two. We need a tie breaker 😉

    5. Neil Fernandes on May 15, 2012 9:26 pm

      I'm actually looking forward to Amazing Spidey more than TDKR…The only reason I REALLY wanna see TDKR is becos of Bane & Anne's Catwoman. Otherwise I think I'm WAAAY more eager to see TASM.

    6. Michael Offutt on May 16, 2012 1:02 am

      The Dark Knight Rises looks like stuff I haven't seen before. The Amazing Spider Man looks like everything I've seen before. Having a CGI lizard man does nothing for me.

    7. S. L. Hennessy on May 16, 2012 3:50 am

      Spiderman looks AMAZING but I've got to give this one to The Dark Knight. Close contest though.

    8. M Pax on May 16, 2012 4:35 am

      I'm looking most forward to the Dark Knight. I've always liked Batman better. I'm drawn to dark, I guess.

    9. Maurice Mitchell on May 16, 2012 2:31 pm

      One more for Spiderman. Neil, I am too. I've heard that Bane is the exact opposite of the Joker. Completely in control, but still unpredictable. Anne Hathoway has some big shoes to full since Pfeifer did an amazing job. I'm more excited about DKR than ASM.

    10. Maurice Mitchell on May 16, 2012 2:32 pm

      Michael, your right about Nolan's vision. He makes movies like no one else.

    11. Maurice Mitchell on May 16, 2012 2:32 pm

      S.L. Thanks for the vote!

    12. Maurice Mitchell on May 16, 2012 2:33 pm

      Dark is the new light M. Pax. LOL

    13. Yosif aljafen on May 20, 2012 11:18 pm

      its simple u want to watch a movie again with some changes "TASM" or compliate game changer for cinema and an Epic ending "TDKR" as the joker said " its simple kill SPIDERMAN" LoL

    14. Maurice Mitchell on May 21, 2012 2:09 am

      Yosif, that would make a great movie. Joker kills Spider-man. LOL

    15. JOHN A. BINES on May 22, 2012 8:05 am

      It's so funny… I've been so HYPED up to see Nolan's last dark knight that I was obsessed… I'd listen and look out for any tid bit of information, trailers, posters anything that would give me a glimpse of the movie… Then the Avengers came out and BLEW me (and the rest of the world) away and my hopes for dark knight were diminished but still anxious. Now I've just seen the new Amazing Spider Man 4 minute preview and I CANT BELIEVE HOW EXCITED I AM TO SEE THIS MOVIE (And I hate Spider Man)… I want to stay excited about the Dark knight but it's hard when other movies that seem equally as good are dropping around the same time… CURSE YOU MARVEL!!!!

    16. Maurice Mitchell on May 22, 2012 5:45 pm

      John, I'm in the same boat. I thought the new Spider-Man would be lame, but there's some amazing stuff going on in that film.

    17. sqt72 on May 22, 2012 7:40 pm

      As this is the last of the Nolan Batman films- the end of the arc- I'm way more excited for "The Dark Knight Rises." I haven't fully engaged with the new Spiderman. Too many reboots.

    18. Maurice Mitchell on May 22, 2012 9:20 pm

      SQT it's tricky. I'm still reserving judgement, but so far, so good.
