Watchmen Vs The Dark Knight

As you people already watch Watchmen and The Dark Knight and these two films don't just rely on that old standby -- being "dark" and "edgy" -- they also take their subject matter into truly adult territory, not just in terms of sex and violence (as in Watchmen in particular) but also in theme. The superhero movie has grown up this past year, and it's Snyder and Christopher Nolan who we can thank for that.
So tell me which one is better and why ?

I've seen it twice, and I think it is a fantastic adaptation of a brilliant novel

That being said, this is a no contest win for Dark Knight

Then again, that is probably the greatest comic book movie ever; ▶ Reply to This
