Geek question, as I'm a bit of a geek.

I don't know if anyone will add to the thread.

But what do you prefer.

DC OR MARVEL.

Marvel films are better but DC series seem to be better.

As far as characters are concerned my favourite has always been Superman.

"Marvel films are better but DC series seem to be better.

I agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment. DC seems to suit serialisation much better.

I like marvel I really do. But DC just seems to be more darker and gritty.

Just watched The Batman. Liked it!

Mostly Marvel as that's what I read (with the exception of Batman) when I was younger.

Marvels live action films are better but DC generally does animated series and films of a better quality than Marvel. In my opinion anyway.

I've always liked marvel movies and it will be interesting to see if they can pull out of their current nose dive.

With James Gunn now CEO of DC I am truly excited about what's coming next.

I like when they occasionally do something you wouldn't expect. Werewolf By Night being a Universal monsters style throwback was fun.

I can agree with this think it’s more as marvel want to be all moral so no villain can have redeeming features there’s no grey, it’s black and white which is also why the love for antiheroes is coming

DC for me. I find Marvel too comedic and happy-clappy. I like the grit and grim dark.

I find escaping to a world worse than my own more an escapism than one happier than this one. DC could go a lot more grim dark though and focus on 18+ storylines.

So marvel it is 👍🏽

I would go for DC purely on the basis of the game changing comics and great stories in its Vertigo imprint.

These days I go for creator lead comics rather than the publisher lead.

Creators like Stjepan Sejic, Ed Brubaker, and last but not least Garth Ennis.

Marvel for the Infinity War Saga, the multiverse saga so far is just dead (apart from maybe Loki).

Older DC films (pre suicide squad) are actually pretty damn good, yes they don't have the buy in the IWS did but still really good, even Pattinson as Batman was a really good film as well but most of the modern ones have been huge misses. Though Arrow and The Flash have been great too.

I prefer the Marvel films but the DC TV series. Marvel films always have a sense of humour to them while DC films feel dark and moody. Generally for the TV series that gets swapped around with the stakes in Falcon and Winter Soldier being so heavy the humour wasn't there. By contrast the DC series had much more humour in them.

Can't say I've ever read the comic books, so I'm probably something of a heathen!

Marvel for us

Marvel has always tried to humanise characters, Ive always seen Spider-Man as a Superhero soap opera.

DC on the other hand always seemed grander when I read the comics growing up, and reminded me of fairytales or myths, the stories just didn't appeal to me in the same way.

I always felt more in common with Spidey when reading about him getting the flu compared to Superman dodging kryptonite...

Both have fallen off in terms of the quality of their comics. But that's in part probably nostalgia.

DC might have had a lot of daft nonsense and endless continuity resets, but they also produced some extremely good stuff - from stuff like George Perez on Wonder Woman, through Alan Moore on Swamp Thing, Grant Morrison on Animal Man and Doom Patrol etc.
