I'll go through the movies you listed one at a time. First, I thought The Dark Knight Rises was a very good film. Maybe not as good as The Dark Knight, but I thought it was more relevant to the trilogy's overall story than TDK. I've only seen Man of Steel once, but I wasn't impressed by it. Clark was likable as a child who's afraid of his powers, but other than that, it was just hard to relate to Superman's character. Finally, The Amazing Spider-Man & TASM2. While they weren't the best comic book films out there, I thought the cast, especially Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, was what saved the movies. IMHO, the two had great chemistry, especially compared to the zero chemistry between Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, whose performances I wasn't especially fond of anyway.
