The MCU has spawned three Iron Man movies, two Avenger movies, a seemingly implausible, yet astonishingly successful “Guardians of the Galaxy,” and even the comically-horrible named “Ant-Man” that showed Marvel can make it work. We’d like to forget the listless “The Incredible Hulk” and the laughable “Daredevil” (Ben Affleck, circa 2004), but we accept our flaws because nothing is perfect. It has everything we could ever want from comic book movies: fun, action, heart and the occasional dose of romance to remind us of the humanity of these superheroes.Įver since “Iron Man” premiered back in 2008, the MCU has been an ever-growing empire of success. Tony Stark said it best: “We have a Hulk.” The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is one of the best things to come about since sliced bread. With all this in mind, it’s pretty obvious that DC is better than Marvel. “Suicide Squad” will definitely be another DC movie to watch out for, especially since it will be the first live-action comic book movie to focus on villains. Zack Snyder, director of “Man of Steel,” will also be directing “Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice,” which will be the first attempt by DC to bring together a few of the most well-known superheroes all in one film, setting the stage for the Justice League movies and more solo hero movies. The DC franchise also bests Marvel in the video game industry, with the Batman Arkham series proving to be fun, popular and tops lists as the number-one superhero game.ĭC movies of modern times have also been huge hits because of the directors and the cast.Ĭhristopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” Trilogy is considered one of the best series of the comicīook genre, and rightfully so. Finally, not only are DC characters more serious and deeper than Marvel characters, they actually are super, not mutated. Batman, one of the other more common household names, is such a unique character that there really is no equal in the Marvel universe, just several Marvel characters with similar traits. And let’s be real, Superman alone would utterly destroy most of the characters in Marvel’s copycat universe. True DC and Marvel enthusiasts know that DC existed before Marvel was even a thing.Įven though Superman wasn’t the very first superhero, DC Comics’ legendary character set the way for the superhero archetype, literally. Everything about the franchise distinguishes itself from Marvel. DC Comics definitely one-ups Marvel in so many ways: the complex and badass characters, the amazing storylines, the video games and the latest and upcoming movies.
