Two of those are asking which one will you prefer not which one will make more money. And these polls arn't testing your average citizen but comic fans. So ultimatley, not a very reliable source. And the one that did ask which will make more money had only 26 votes.
Edit: Not saying it can't win. But IMO it's facing a massive uphill battle.
I wasn't looking for polls specfic to which would make more money, but just polls comparing which flick people are most anticipating. Those polls so far could reflect a +/- possible attendance by people once those movies come out. But regardless of that and what the stats are with these current polls, i'm gravitating more toward avengers. An opinion of course and if tdkr does come out on top i wouldnt be surprised either.
Iv talked to different people about this and You'd be surprised how many regular movie goers do not even know there is a super hero team called "The Avengers"..
Of course with all us comic book fans here on these boards there will be much more anticipation for a project as ambitious as The Avengers, and when its being released there will be intrigue from a much wider audience about a movie starring the main characters from all these great Marvel films (2 of them huge box office smashes)..
But still overall the odds are with TDKR imo.. Of course when it comes to final box office performance, the results will largely be dependant on how entertaining both movies actually are.
I still think The Avengers is going to have the bigger draw.
I think people will be intrigued, plus you have all the characters from the different movies, and all the success from those movies.
TDKR has what Bane and Catwoman, and the success of the previous movie.
I could be wrong but I think Avengers is gonna look fresher and more appealing across the masses.
I dont know which movie will receive the bigger draw but im willing to bet that Batman will have the most anticipation. Batman seems to have a broader appeal than the avengers. Ive noticed that Batman appeals widely not only to comic fans but also non comic fans. The only people that will be anticipating Avengers will be comic fans.

You have to remember the biggest success from those other movies was Iron Man 2 which made around 600 mill. And there will be a huge overlap in the audiences who watched IM, Thor e.t.c

Exactly. Comic book fans like us will have more anticipation for The Avengers. But the wider audience will have more expectations from TDKR. But like I already said the final box office figures will also depend on how entertaining each movie actually is to the wider audience.
oh yeah i dont doubt batman will take opening weekend...,as long as their marketing campaign is as cunning, broad and interesting as it was for TDK. The only thing that, IMO, will give avengers better numbers is children. If i were still a kid i would probablt want to see the avengers a lot more than batman but odds are...,the kids that drag their parents to see avengers will do the same for batman

Can kids watch Batman? Didn't TDK have an adult rating??
I wanna go with the dark knight rises but it seems lately that the 3rd movie dont be as good as the 2nd so i'm going with avengers i mean the hype is way bigger imo plus like me theres a ton of people that has been waiting for the avengers movies for a long time avengers takes it i'm looking foward to the avengers more than tdkr but i'm going to see both of them anyway

I just wanted to see what you guys think was going to have the biggest opening night, wknd, etc. On the one hand you have the avengers which will be the first movie, correct me if i'm wrong where they take characters from other movies and collaborate them in one. You then have the dark knight returns, which will be the last of the trilogy of chris nolan and seeing how according to viewers it got only better, the third should be even more.
I believe the Dark Knight Rises will trump the Avengers. Because it will be an overall better movie and won't have a cluster&*%$# of characters, I think word will spread about the Avengers flaws and the audience will dwindle as the weekend goes on.
I predict the Avengers will have box office numbers around the amount IronMan, Thor, and Captain America took in...

Very true in most cases, but they said the same thing about TDK, citing sequels that didn't perform as well as the first (obviously those critics were proven wrong).
Plus, it's Christopher Nolan we're talking about. He's said to have put a lot of thought into the final installment, and I have a feeling he'll exceed expectations...

Granted, but the first Iron Man was a hit, even if the 2nd was a bit disappointing (at least for me), the Hulk knowledge of a potential audience can take into account 2 films, however fractured and disparate they were - also the television series which was immensely popular with almost anyone having seen it. Cap and Thor are quite similiar in terms of exposure on film at least, with Cap probably edging it because his appeal and the confusion between Marvel's Thor and the Norse myth is still an issue.
But even so that lack of Cap and Thor will only inflame the fans who want to see more of them so you could see it that way. Plus, in the future things could change with regards to the line-up of the Avengers if they get certain characters back they could just change the line-up now and again, giving some other characters a shot.
Batman is popular right now but knowing this is the last (and with the 8-year jump within TDK to TDKR), the fans may just be a bit fed up with the fast-forward then adrupt halt to the story.
