I hate that these two had to collide in anything but the final or final four.

Superman I and II set the bar early for what a superhero movie can be. It took nearly two decades for that to really start panning out.

However, The Dark Knight raised that bar to new heights so it gets the vote.

Superman was such a great film for its time but as I have said it no longer holds up with today's version of the character.

Voted the Dark Knight!
