The answer why TDK is commonly appreciated as a cinematic masterwork while none of the MCU films are, is quite simple: TDK has genuine artistic merit.
That is not just expressed by indicators such as Oscar awards and sitting on 4 of the best films ever since a decade:
TDK has a relevant, deep and original story about the human condition and its corruption; with the Joker as Id, Bats as Superego and Dent as Ego that is torn between these extreme poles and crumbles. It's about the straining of society and civilization by terroristic and anarchic elements and vigilantes, the state of laws as symbolized by Dent crumbles and gets brutalized and corrupted.
What artistically valuable story does any MCU film have? I haven't seen it yet. These are well produced junk food, not food for the mind.
The only challengers are films like Logan, Watchmen, TDK Returns (Miller), X1, WW and the prototype classic Superman - and most of these do not come too close either.
