The Dark Knight was excellent but Iron Man was a little better. DK dragged on a little more noticably than IM did. If you are into faithfulness to the comic origins, IM had his origins nearly verbatim whereas DK jettisoned the Joker's sick, twisted playfullness, such as an acid-squirting flower, use of poison gas, or lethal toys.
I did have a little trouble suspending my disbelief in DK when I realized that before the movie started, The Joker was awfully busy filling abandoned building with gasoline and explosives, rigging up two ferry boats with explosives, planting bombs all over the hospital ,etc. Just when did he have time to do all that?
I liked the depiction of Two-Face but he didn't really show up until the end and then he got killed off! WTF! Apart from The Joker, he's Batman's best villain and he got killed off.
The cellphone sonar system was a bit much too.
IM had its flaws but I thought it was smoother overall and flowed better.
Both were excellent movies.
