question for discussion and debate

Two great superhero flicks this year: Iron Man and The Dark Knight. Which was better?

(Are superhero flicks science fiction? Well, when they include futuristic technologies, I think so -- although the genre is more mythological in some ways. But these two are clearly about the social production of good and evil instead of treating them as fixed absolutes, which is a further testimony to their science-fictional versus their high-fantastic mythological character -- see the great essay on this, using Stephen R. Donaldson as an example, in New Boundaries in Political Science Fiction, a book in which (full disclosure) I have a chapter . . . the famous Iain M. Banks chapter, co-written with James Heilman, s/s/f veteran.)
