Yeah, but, see, I'm really excited about Dark Knight Rises too. Here's my problem: I'm going in expecting to be disappointed. Even if the film is as good as The Dark Knight in every way, the one way in which I don't think it can possibly be as good is the villain. As great an actor as Tom Hardy is, I just don't see how he can do as good a job with Bane as Heath Ledger did with the Joker. Therefore, I simply don't think The Dark Knight Rises can be better than The Dark Knight, so I'm not quite as excited for it as I am Prometheus.
Don't get me wrong. Now that The Avengers has already been released (and I've seen it three times), The Dark Knight Rises is an extremely close #2 for film I'm most excited to see right behind Prometheus.
