You see Batman is a popcorn movie seasoned with enough pretense to make people feel smart just for liking it. There is nothing difficult or challenging about it, but it pretends to have more depth than it really does.

if thats the case, it becomes an unfair comparisson...
All films require a suspension of disbelief to some degree or another. I mean the Avengers requires you to accept that a Norse God, a billionaire in a robot suit, a World War II enhanced soldier with wings on his ears and a mild mannered scientist who turns green and smashes stuff up when he gets angry are teaming up to save the world from thousands of Green Goblin clones from another dimension.
What Nolan's Batman films attempt to do is challenge you not to suspend disbelief. They insist that their content could be real. They insist that this is hard science fiction, not comic book action.
In short TDKR raises the bar on the realism and then jumbles together a plot full of holes and nonsense. The Avengers could have plot holes but you don't care and might not even notice. It's larger than life. Batman though insists that it is worthy and serious and cinema, so when lazy plot holes emerge they stick out.

What film did I enjoy more? TDKR of course.
I almost fell asleep during the Avenger's and thought that it was pretty dull.
While I don't think TDKR is a cinematic masterpiece, it has a certain thematic depth and makes us think more than typical superhero fare.
