I already love it.
I love Christopher Nolan's re-imaginings of the superheroes. He should be the only one allowed to make super hero films from now on.

They're both good...
but only Nolan has thus far injected a level of substance which for me lifts his films to genuine higher levels. Love them or hate them, there are some really big ideas going on beneath the flashy exterior of his Batman films which are just absent from films like The Avengers. Meditations on power, money, class... it's mouthwatering stuff that doesn't detract from the films as a spectacle. A real testament to his abilities.
Nolan always struck me as an incredibly well read and informed filmmaker and I think, for that reason, his films achieve greater depth and certainly stayed in my mind longer than anything Whedon or Favreau have done. The Marvel canon is really about surfaces. Of course some people do prefer things simpler with stuff like this and that's fair enough.
