They are more rivals than anything. I absolutely loved Man of Steel and can't wait for more.

"People" aren't comparing them because of their stories or mythos. They're comparing
Man of Steel to the Dark Knight Trilogy due to Christopher Nolan's involvement.
Batman Begins, and especially
The Dark Knight, were cinematic achievements of highest order. "People" were expecting a similar aesthetic and cinematic experience with
Man Of Steel.
Some liked it, some didn't. But in terms of cinema, there's a consensus that it fell well short of any of the The Dark Knight films.
