DC or Marvel?

For live-action movies, Marvel.

For everything else, DC.

 

This is fairly close to how I'd answer. I will say this, though, DC has amazing animated movies. It's just a shame they can't translate that to live-action.

 

Always have been a Marvel guy

 

Comics
Past: Marvel
Current: DC

Movies:

Animated Shows/Movies:

Video Games:
Past : Whatever I can find
Current : None... I hate movie games of Marvel. Marvel Heroes Online and DCUO are very weak games DCUO being better one.

Heroes/Characters:
Marvel Heroes and DC Villains...

DC have more campy, fun and interesting villains. Lex Luthor, Brainiac, Joker, Salamon Grundy, Black Adam, Posion Ivy, Cheetah, Tattoo Man, Protheus, The Rogues are more interesting than original owner of the books they appear on.

While Marvel have some very iconic and enjoyable villains (Magneto, Dr. Doom or most Spider-man villains) they usually dwarf against heroes.

 

I think DC has really good and complex villians but Marvel has the best heros and I just think there universe makes more sense it connects a lot better than I think DC's does. To me at least it seems like DC has it's own world for each character like Batman is Gothem and you can't really connect that to the rest of the world.

 

I've always been into Marvel. My favorite heroes have come from Marvel, so I guess there's not really a choice when it comes to my opinion.

 

For those interested, I'd read the 2014 Moon Knight run by Warren Ellis. Easily Marvel's best comic run in a while.

 

Well the thing is my favorite superhero so I would have to da marvel

 

I only like DC because they have Wonder Woman.

Other than that, I like other comic venues.

 

I'm gonna have to go with marvel since they just have a more wide variety of characters I like and different series that interest me, and they have the better live action movies whereas DC... has Batman, and that's just about it.

 

For my response, I am excluding all live action films, as very rarely are they canon or a good representation of the source material. The translation of a story from the medium of comics to film is a rough one, sometimes ending up with a good product (Thor, Dark Knight) and sometimes getting a bad product (Catwoman, Daredevil), and so I don't think their inclusion would be fair.

DC has always had characters that interested me more. I also like how their universes are set up. Marvelverse has always really confused me. Where do the Xmen exist? Where do the fantastic four exist? Do both Chris Evans characters exist in the same universe? THe understanding of their universes doesn't come as easily as DC's did for me.

None have bad comics. I just have more luck finding memorable reads with DC. They're just so capable of extraordinarily imaginative concepts. I always get the wow factor, whether it's exploring space with Green Lantern, or just running around Gotham, solving mysteries. All of the series in the Batfamily are so goddamn well interwoven, and their interactions, are amazing. The universe feels very solid. And it all has this wonderful mix of camp and angst it just appeals to me more. Whenever I read Marvel comics, it just feels a bit run-of-the-mill. Lots of wit and sass and some cool concepts. But hey, this all just depends on whicharcs I've been reading, and isn't really a fair reflection of the companies as a whole.

To the poster who said Batman and Superman are overrated, I highly suggest reading some of their recents arcs.

 

I'm decidedly not a fan of comics. But of movies, Marvel has Iron Man and Thor, who are cooler than anything DC can provide (even Batman) so I'm definitely on their side.

**Chris Nolan's movies are sweet, but Batman just doesn't do it for me.

 

DC because of the Joker, Harley, and Ivy. I've never gotten into Marvel.

 

DC because Marvel's comics are overpriced as hell.

 

I choose both!

I love DC's standalone heroes and they make some really great animated shows. Their live action ones aren't too shabby either.

Marvel is king of the cinema and I love their shows. Plus their team comics and story arcs are really great.

Both make really great comics and both have such a long and intertwined history that it's almost impossible for me to imagine one without the other.
