"Hi, I'm a Marvel." "And I'm a DC."

Well I would have to say that I have and always prefer DC. Yes, I prefer my heroes to be more flawless but DC has changed a lot in the past 20 years since Infinite Crisis. They have made it more human and start killing big heroes. My favorite comic is one in which Superman “saves” his fathers life after he himself was killed by Doomsday. The human feelings and connection i felt while reading thoswe comics have never been matched. I could never get into Marvel because it was too confusing and i did not want my heroes acting like me. Also everyone forgets the Speedy is a heroine addict comics from the 70′s which Stan Lee himself praises.
Another reason why I am not a Marvel fan is the Peter Parker Clone story that would not die.

I think the big problem with recent comic book movies is Bryan Singer. He did an Ok job with the first 2 X-men then killed Superman. I liked Brandon Routh casting but Lois sucked and the kid story line was awful. Instead of going to the comics for ideas he watched Superman 1 & 2 and triend to complet the trilogy how he saw fit. What they should have done is followed Batman Begins lead and get a writer worth a darn and cast the right people in most roles.
How come Batman movies are the only DC ventures that follow the post-infinite crisis story lines. The only other one to do this is Lois & Clark TV, which is the best written Clark KEnt outside of the comics. His line in the series “Clark is who I am, Superman is what i can do” That is the modern Superman comic.

I just gotta say I loved how nerdy the comments were here! I now regret caging my inner comic book nerd as a pre-teen now that I know there are plenty of others out there. Of course this was done for financial and order obsession reasons. To be a geek is one thing, but to be sad that I wasn’t a bigger one is even weirder.

Anon, you’ve got the bully pulpit but still ain’t citing examples. You can trust that I still read titles from both publishers, but still feel like Marvel still does heroes better. Marvel Knights Spider Man and ASM are still rock solid, as is the second X Men series. And dude, the Avengers with Wolverine? Beats out JLA everytime.
Mattyboy does make a great point though. Marvel as a movie studio WAS responsible for Howard the Duck (awful in every way), the Original Punisher, Captain America, Genx, and recent crapfests Punisher, Hulk and Elektra.
But DC had an awful movie era (1990′s) after the first batman. Awful Batman sequels + Steel starring Shaq= a bad movie era. Their heroes haven’t made a solid comeback aside from Batman Begins and Superman Returns. Where’s the GL movie or JLA mvoies?
Flipside, the DC adult comics are all being made (or were made) into flicks. Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Ronin. THAT is where dc excels.

Please stop calling me Anon, Ep Sato, I feel like I should be in Shakespeare and hurrying somewhere. The identity crisis that just happened in DC as well as 52 are what renewed my faith in comics in all Universes. That was brilliant writing and it showed how vulnerable the characters were to real life problems that everyone faces. I have to say killing off Captain America was also a bold move, but Marvel has had too few bold moves for it to matter. The women of the Marvel Universe are pathetic. Mary Jane is a joke and the girls of the X-men, Rogue being who i wished to be when I got older, have been reduced to pathetic side characters that only matter when a love story is needed. Example: Storm’s wedding and Rogue and Gambits big brawl where he is now a horseman of the apocolypse and he almost killed her (gasp!). The women in DC are much stronger characters and give us female readers something to look to.
