Marvel or DC?

Definitely Marvel for me. Spider-Man is my all time favourite superhero and comic universe. Also love the X-Men. I do like some of the Batman and Superman stuff.

Animated DC.

I like both. Keep in mind I never read comics as a kid, only know it from movies, animated series, and whatever I look up on various wikis.

Marvel is more "Rawr, we are badasses!" and cool.

DC is charming, more stereotypical (in a good way) hero stuff. I like the animation and show series (Flash is honestly amazing, while the other series have their own merits but are not flawless), not so much the newer movies.

This, if I were forced to choose.

@uninspiredcup: Mask of Phantasm used to scare me as a kid. I really loved Sub-Zero.

The only superhero universe that I've ever liked is Batman... so I guess DC.

Marvel live action

DC animated

@vaidream45: That’s a really good way to put it.

@speeny: thank you. : )

I was always more of a Marvel person, but I wish I had gotten into some of the Vertigo stuff when I was younger. I hear a lot of that stuff was really good.

Marvel, easily.

Spider-Man and Hulk are my favourite superheroes of all time. Marvel also has a lot more interesting superheroes, e.g. Black Panther, Captain America, Iron-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men, etc.

In comparison, all that DC has is Superman and Batman. The rest of the DC superheroes don't hold a candle compared to Marvel. Also, the "dark and edgy" aesthetic that DC goes for is kind of annoying.

@Jag85: Yeah I agree. Batman has only ever been the stand out superhero for me in the DC Universe. I’m completely unknown to a lot of the others. Would you say there’s more lore involved in the Marvel universe compared to DC? I would think so....

Batman>>Marvel>>DC

DC

I grew up on watching Batman. Also, during the time I was growing up X-Men was a pretty popular movie franchise. So, I know a lot of X-Men. I didn't knew it was a part of Marvel. It's kind of insane.

Some of the Marvel hero's I didn't even knew until the Marvel movies came out like guardians of the galaxy.

@watercrack445: Wow I didn’t know X-Men was DC. Great movies.

Marvel. I always found DC rather boring with the exception of Batman.

The DC Universe has a lot of lore, but most of it is focused on Batman and Superman. Whereas the Marvel Universe has its lore more evenly spread out between different superheroes.

DC because Batman. No one beats Batman....

Personally, I'm not really a fan of any super hero franchise, but if I had to pick it'd be Marvel. Black Panther was sick.

I'm a Marvel fanboy but I do like DC as well.

Marvel-Live action movies & DC-Animations are awesome. But Marvel all the way for me.

Edit: I'm actually excited for Aquaman movie this December.

I'm getting the blu-Ray soon. I realllllly looooove Mask of the Phantasm, it was and still is the best Batman animated movie I watch with my Dad in the early 90's and what I like about that movie is, it was the first time I ever seen Bruce Wayne happy when he was about to get marry, he was gonna give up being Batman and everything in that movie is just well made.

Marvel is awesome, fantastic characters and heroes but they simply have nothing on this.

Too bad the DCEU movies didnt do as well. Batman remains my favourite "super"hero however.

Marvel

I love Marvel'' all kind of movies like

1. The Avengers
2. hor: Ragnarok
3. Iron Man
4. Spider-Man
5. Captain America

I like both and to be honest it depends on what form of media you are talking about as well.

A lot of Marvel movies are just overrated and are just not as good as what people claim them to be but compared to DC right now, I have to go with Marvel.

DC movies are just plain downright horrible and definitely needs a reboot.

Same here.

Never read the comics of either. Except for some old Miss Marvel stuff.

Marvel

Dc just cause it's my childhood.

This, if only the live action of DC took a page from DC animated.

@npiet1: I know. They just need to hire Brice Timms to write and direct a live action Batman movie already. He would actually do it right.

It's interesting how most DC fans can only name a single DC superhero they really like (Batman)... which says a lot about just how limited DC is compared to Marvel.

Yet despite DC focusing so heavily on Batman (and Superman), the most popular superhero of all is a Marvel superhero (Spider-Man).

Comics- I have always been a Marvel guy since the early 80's. It hurts to say it, but DC is putting out way better comics than Marvel these days.

Movies - Marvel no contest.

Aniamtion -DC no contest.

TV series - Marvel Netflix shows are better than all DC CW shows. Haven't seen Cloak and Dagger, Runaways or Black Lightning yet so I can't comment there.

Action figures - Both are putting out quality right now. Toss up.

@heathen75: While I'm also more into Marvel, I agree that Marvel comics and cartoons have been declining lately. With Marvel raking in so much from movies, it seems like they just can't be arsed to make good comics or cartoons anymore. Whereas with DC, their movies aren't doing so well, so they've been putting more effort into the comics and cartoons lately.

It could also be because the American comic industry is declining, so Marvel just doesn't care about it anymore. Even the huge success of the MCU hasn't helped the US comic industry. The decline could be partly due to the rise of manga (the manga distributor Viz Media is now the largest comic publisher in the US), and partly due to Marvel just not caring about comics anymore (leaving it to DC to keep the US comic industry afloat).

@Jag85: Maybe thier not DC fans.

@watercrack445: Exactly. More like Batman fans, rather than DC fans.

Batman

Not a fan of superheroes. I only really like Batman.

Hey, post 666.

Batman is just the best. It's not like Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Nightwing, Red Hood, etc are unknown nor underappreciated.

I mean in reality Marvel only has SpiderMan.

@LJS9502_basic:

Not sure if sarcastic, but most of those DC superheroes are largely unknown.

In comparison, Marvel has numerous popular superheroes, like Spider-Man, X-Men, Avengers, Wolverine, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, etc.

Um none of the characters I named are unknown.

Marvel has a much larger character base than DC does. To say that Marvel only has Spider-Man is laughable.

Prior to the new movie series none of those other characters were mainstream popular. Also most of Marvel's characters were rip offs of DC.

Spider-Man, X-Men and Hulk were hugely popular long before the movies. Back in the '80s and '90s, Marvel comics & cartoons were dominating DC comics & cartoons. It's only after Marvel made the transition to movies in the 2000s that their comics & cartoons started declining, almost as if Marvel started abandoning comics & cartoons after they caught the bigger fish (the movie industry).

Spider-Man yes. As I said mainstream. The others were popular with comic book fans. There's a difference.

@LJS9502_basic: Lots of kids grew up watching the X-Men and Hulk cartoons in the 80s and 90s. They were as mainstream as it gets.

Hmm hard choice

But I would say DC for Superman, Flash and Aquaman.

And you're saying Batman and Superman and the Justice League weren't? That's bizarre.

Superfriends was on in the early 80's. After that, nobody heard from them till the 2000's when the Justice League cartoon came out. In the 90's there was only Batman and Superman on TV. Marvel Has had a consistent TV presence since the the early 80's all the way till now. We've had Spider-Woman, Spider-Man, Spider-Man and his amazing friends, Incredible Hulk, X-men, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, 90's Spider-Man, 90's Hulk, Silver Surfer, Spider-Man Unlimited, Avengers: United they Stand, X-men evolution, Spider-Man MTV, Fantastic Four MTV, Spectacular Spider-Man, Wolverine and the Xmen and Iron Man Armored adventures. That is stopping 10 years ago.

MCU even though I hate majority of it but at least it's come up with a few fun ones.

DC movies are just terrible terrible terrible and they have to reboot the whole thing and fire everyone. Get the Nolan guy and that Mexican guy who directer Harry Puta 3. In fact they should hire any director for as long as they don't have even one movie that has a rating of 80% on rotten tomatoes. It's a pity too because based on heroes, I prefer DC.

In terms of the movies? Or comics in general? Regarding movies, it's a no contest. Marvel has been much better. The current DC movie universe is utter garbage. But in terms of comics, it's a draw in my book. I like certain books from each of the two.

• Comics -DC
• Best superheroes - DC
• Best movies - Marvel
• Best games - DC (but its changing with Spiderman)
• Best TV - Tied
