Marvel has way more cool heroes.

Marvel is more likely to have a good series.

DC has way better single story arcs, but then they always screw it up in the next one. Blue and Red Superman, ick.

DC is more likely to have a good comic.

Overall I'd say Marvel, because the movies rock, hard.

It had the worst ending ever.

Also, i could enver get behind the pro-registration side.

It never made any sense. In the real world... registration... "kinda" makes sense.

In the Marvel Universe where you had things like the Mutant Registration Act, The Secret Empire and Red Skull inflitrating the Government it makes absolutely no sense for ANY superhero to remotely trust the government when it comes to registration...

and why did Reed Richards "go evil". He developed a Math problem that could tell the future.

Which... i did consider evil... him and Pym... as they CLONED THOR without his approval.

Yeah, cloning one of your best friends and then putting something in the clones brain to make sure it''s your loyal super biological weapon. That's what i think when I hear hero.

A mad scientists hero anyway.

Eh he was probably just a skrull anyway!

Marvel all the way they have spider man

Batman is my favorite (mostly thanks to the new movies) but overall I believe that Marvel is better.

Who did X-men?

Batman
Watchmen
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

I guess it's kinda close from a "movie" perspective(though I still give the edge to DC) as far as the actual comics go, lol, DC blows them fools out of the water, thanks to Alan Moore.

Alan Moore....Alan Moore, if you don't know who Alan Moore is, then trust me....just say DC and move on.

Honestly, movies shouldn't even enter into this conversation.

Not to mention Garth Ennis, Warren Ellis, Neil Gaiman...

C: Superman Returns was good. The first series of Batman movies was horrible, as was Catwoman and most other movies they've made. Road to Perdition and V for Vendetta were absolutely great, as was Batman Begins. So three great movies, but much fewer good movies.

You left out a lot, check it out:

The first three Superman films with Christopher Reeve.

The first Batman movie directed by Tim Burton

Batman Begins

Superman Returns

V for Vendetta

Road to Perdition

The League of Extrodinary Gentlemen

Swampthing

Constatine(another Alan Moore character)

From Hell

The Dark Knight

Watchmen

A History of Violence

The Fountain

The Spirit

These movies.....some of them are just beyond amazing, friends. Road to Perdition, and A History of Violence are both better than any superhero movie has ever been. Most people simply don't know these are based on DC comics.

Animated:

The Batman Series

The Justice League film

Best Finite Series

One of the best 100 novels in the past 25 years.

Alan Moore.

Or how bout Frank Miller?

How can anyone, ever, claim that Marvel actually holds a candle to DC in any way, because a couple of the most recent, casual, popcorn flicks they made were good, when you've never even read Watchmen?

This topic is like asking your mom which console is the best.

Does anyone even know who Rorschach is?

The best graphic novels are all DC:

Batman: Year 1

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns - Frank Miller

Watchmen - Alan Moore

V for Vendetta - Alan Moore

The Killing Joke - Alan Moore

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Vol1 - Alan Moore

DC COMICS!

Alan Moore!

Christ!

If you read anything he ever wrote, you would be arguing this with me.

Also, didn't know if you guys knew, but the Avengers movie has been planned for a while, which combines 5 characters that will be combined from single movie installments(in theory with the same actors), 2 of which have already been released.

Captain America, Iron Man, Ant Man, Thor, and The Hulk. Sam Jackson is Nick Fury, if I recall the character name right, I won't spoil anything else. It's set to release in 2011, same year as the new highlander remake(woot!), which I made a topic about but nobody cared.

Watchmen is indeed a legendary work. I'm nervous as hell about the movie; I don't think they can pull it off.

From Hell was published by Kitchen Sink Press, wasn't it? I'm pretty sure it's never been a DC publication, in any case. This has no effect on your argument, however.

Alan Moore and Frank Miller are not the be-all, end-all of DC either. As mentioned previously, Garth Ennis, Warren Ellis and Neil Gaiman have also produced some of their best works for the Vertigo imprint.

EDIT:  Superman III was ass-terrible, by the way.

Actually, lol, good catch, I made an assumption on From Hell, I just ordered it and havent' actually read the thing yet. I'll ammend.

Either way, I agree with you completely about the movie. I'm nervous as hell. I think it's gonna be ruined. It was directed by the same guy who directed 300, and he screwed that movie to hell, so I expect nothing less this time, so unfortunate. The actors though, are decent, that he choose, especially Rorschach(who is gonna have to nail that performance if the movie is to have any chance), I just hope to god that it is at least halfassed good.

I wish Christopher Nolan was directing the freakin' thing. Man would it not be awesome to direct the scene in the book with the dogs and the little girl? Oh snap.
