I think TDK wins.

To a certain extent, The Dark Knight's box office take was a fluke. Maybe nobody want to hear it, but TDK was helped greatly by Heath Ledger's death. What percentage do you think went to see it because it was last film and not because it was the new Batman movie?

When it comes to making a sequel, which do you think a studio is more likely to invest in? A movie that grosses nearly 5 times its production costs (Twilight) or one that cost 5 times as much to make and grossed less than 3 times its production costs even with numbers that were artificially inflated by tragedy (TDK)?
