"Our Characters Are Bigger Than Marvel's"

I think it all depends on the story

Spiderman 2, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man are all second fiddle to the Dark Knight Returns, but besides the last couple batman movies when was the last time DC had a big hit at the theaters?

I dont think Superman is that big anymore, hes still iconic but I dont see the next Superman movie being as big as the next Batman or the Avengers even.

I haven't read comics in years, but what I remember, my preference was Marvel over DC because the Marvel characters were "more human" than the DC characters. Spiderman had life, family, teen issues. Iron Man had health and alcohol issues. Hulk (Banner) had his problems etc. DC guys were too perfect. Superman was the strongest and invincible to everything exept one element not found on earth. Batman was a billiaire detective with endless resources and always had the right equipment for whatever mission in his utility belt (like Sport Billy). Wonder Woman had no real weaknesses.

I think in more recent times, some of these have changed regarding DC - I think they heard the complaints and acted on them.

What I did give DC props for was that their comics had more violence than Marvel, and also their recent movies (animated) have been good.

this is why I will always prefer Spiderman over Batman...I like Batman but part of me really feels lke he's just a rich guy w/ way too much time on his hands...and it's too much shit that can't be explained in the DC comic world...taking Batman again for instance how in the flying fuck has NOBODY figured out Bruce Wayne/Batman is the same guy...flying planes out of his mansions and nobody sees it...Superman can change clothes in a booth in rush hour but nobody sees him go in or out the booth? And Lois Lane is so dumb she can't recognize him without his glasses on? it's just too much fantasy and not enough reality...Marvel characters get real life problems

That right there. But not just Lois Lane, the whole Daily Planet staff. How many times have Superman picture appeared on the front page of the newspaper? And Clark Kent works there. How many pics has Jimmy Olsen taken of Superman?

Wow! How wrong can he be? Spiderman and Hulk on par with Batman and Superman popularity wise. Iron Man, Thor, Cap America, Wolverine, the rest of the X-men, Juggernaut, Deadpool, etc. have all become more popular than most of DC's characters.

Honesty besides Superman and Batman, Marvels top characters are more popular

yeah but Batman and Superman are the #1 and # 2 superheros ever. Just by their logos alone,who doesn't recognize the bat symbol or the red/yellow/blue superman emblem ?...that shit's iconic like the swoosh

Marvel is corny to me i don't like hardly any of them characters. Spiderman sucks, everything Spiderman especially the villians is wack. DC has always been far ahead of Marvel in terms of innovative writing and storytelling. DC always brought the classic adult oriented stuff from Dark Knight Returns and Lobo to Sandman and Preacher why Marvel stays pandering to kids that's why they appeal to Disney. DC universe is way more imaginative and fantastic as well which makes it all the more entertaining. Marvel stays trying to fit everything into real world demographics and that's why it doesn't work for me sorry but i have an imagination and like to see comic book lore pushed to the limits of fantasy not trying to always speak on some political bullshit like X-Men always does. plus Marvel has a far worst track record for movies there's no debate there. Batman '89 >>>> every Marvel movie ever made, combined. same with Superman..

Thats where we differ. I prefer the more "down to earth" approach that Marvel uses instead of the perfection DC does. But it comes down to what you are looking for. And Batman 89 was a classic, but since then DC has only had one gem which was The Dark Knight and that was due to the Joker's character and not Batman's.

A JLA film would be alot better than an Avengers film.

I do like Bruce Banner and Tony Stark though.

You think Tony Stark is a rip-off of Bruce Wayne.
